No. 6 Webster sweeps MacMurray, improves to 4-0 in SLIAC with 4-1 win

  Webster complete a three-game sweep of MacMurray.

WEBSTER GROVES, Mo. -- Starter Zach Schneider allowed his first run of the season but won his third game in as many starts as the #6 ranked Webster University baseball team completed a series sweep with a 4-1 win at MacMurray College (IL), on Sunday.  With the victory, the Gorloks have won six straight.

Schneider, a SLIAC Player of the Week, went seven and 1/3 innings, allowing eight hits and a walk, one run, and striking out eight.  Jason Gray pitched the final inning and two-thirds, picking up his first save of the season.

Webster took a 1-0 lead in the first when Taylor Stoulp singled, stole second, and scored on a Jeff Kammer single.  The Highlanders tied it up in the bottom half after Schneider gave up a walk and a single, and a two-out single to score what would be MacMurray's lone run.

In the Webster fourth, Stoulp reached on an error, took second on a passed ball and scored on a Joe Winckel single, making it 2-1 Gorloks.  In the seventh, Winckel singled, Brett Buchanan walked with no one out.

After Jarrod Turner pinch ran for Winckel, he and Buchanan pulled a double steal.  Kevin Kojs scored Turner on a sac fly for a 3-1 lead.

The Gorloks completed the scoring in the eighth when Lasky singled, moved to third on a wild pickoff throw, and scored on a Stoulp single.

Stoulp, a SLIAC Player of the Week also, wound up 2-4, with an RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base.   Winckel was 2-3 with an RBI and stolen base.
