Chelsea Schaffer (JR, Lindbergh HS) was 2-3, with two RBIs in the 8-0 win.  Brandi Strowman (JR, Cortez HS, AZ) was 4-6 on the day, going 2-3 in game two with an RBI, after going 2-3 in the opener.

Meghan Lokey (JR, Hazelwood West HS) struck out 10 but walked eight as she took the loss in the opener.  The Gorloks are 4-2 in SLIAC play and 14-10 on the season.

The Gorloks return home of April 9 for a double-header vs. Principia College (IL) at Blackburn Park.  On April 10, they travel cross-town for a double-header at Washington University.  Wash U will host, and Webster will take part in a NFCA 'Strikeout Cancer' event to raise cancer awareness.  There will be giveaways during both games, and admission is free.
