Two Webster University baseball team streaks came to an abrupt end in a doubleheader split with MacMurray College (IL) on April 10, at GCS Ballpark.  After winning game one, 6-5, the Gorloks lost 8-4 to the Highlanders in 10 innings, ending a 10-game win streak in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and a 15-game win streak against MacMurray.

David Mueller (SR, Westminster Christian Academy) picked up the win in the opener, allowing six hits and three earned run, walking one, and striking out 10.  Mueller improved to 5-1 on the season.  The Gorloks bats were quiet on the evening for the most part, picking up twelve hits.  Webster grabbed a two-run lead in the first on an Alex Kazmierski (JR, Triton CC, IL) double.  The Highlanders came back in the top of the second with two of their own, but a towering solo home run by Matt Moore (SR, St. Joseph's College, IN) to lead off the Webster half of the second, put the Gorloks back up, 3-2.

Webster scored single runs in the third, fifth, and sixth, but MacMurray kept pace with single runs in the fifth and sixth.  After a Webster error and a single in the ninth, Mueller put out the Highlanders last threat with his 10th strikeout to end the game.

In the finale, Webster was shutout for seven innings and were down 2-0 going into the bottom of the eighth.  The Gorloks were the beneficiary of four walks and a hit batsman, and picked up three runs with two out, with only a lone single hit.  Steve Dooley (JR, Florissant Valley CC) had pitched six plus innings of six-hit ball, and Cody Hafeli (JR, Kankakee CC, IL) bailed him out of a one-out jam in the seventh. Ryan Martinez (JR, Illinos Valley CC) came on to pitch the ninth and was touched for back to back, two-out doubles to tie the game back up, 3-3.  The roof fell in on the Gorloks in the 10th as the first four Highlander batters came around to score and give them an 8-3 lead.

Despite loading the bases in the bottom of the 10th, Webster could only scratch for one run and the final was 8-4.  Webster still remains in first in the SLIAC by virtue of having two more wins than second place Fontbonne University (8-1). The Gorloks have a three game series at Eureka College (IL) this weekend, April 14-15, and return to GCS on April 17 to play Washington University in a single contest.
