Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The Webster University baseball team extended its winning streak to 12 games and kept hold of first place in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with a doubleheader sweep at Westminster College, on April 2, in Fulton, MO.  The Gorloks rolled in the opener, 11-1, and won the nightcap, 3-0, to go 8-0 in the SLIAC.  On the mound, Isaac Behme (SO, Harrisburg HS, IL) and Zach Schneider (JR, Warren Township HS, IL) welcomed back to the rotation after a year's absence, gave the Gorloks two quality starts.

GAME ONE
The Gorloks continued their offensive onslaught, having scored 85 runs in their last nine games and averaging 9.5 runs a game in that span.  After building a 5-1 lead in game one, Webster broke it wide open in the sixth.  Joe Winckel (JR, North County HS, MO) singled and Jarrod Turner (JR, Chatham Glenwood HS, IL) reached  on a bunt and stole second.  Mitchell Bonds (SR, Kankakee  CC, IL) singled Winckel home and an HBP to Corey Lasky (JR, College of Lake County, IL) loaded the bases. 

A Ryan Hall (JR, Central Arkansas, MO) sac fly to center scored Turner.  After Bonds and Lasky advanced on a passed ball, Taylor Stoulp (JR, St. Mary's HS, MO) doubled them both home.  Stoulp took third on another passed ball and came home on a double by Alex Kazmierski (SR, Triton College, IL).  Webster led 10-1 and added one more run in the seventh.

Webster had taken a 2-0 lead in the second inning as Mike Rainbolt (SR, Kankakee CC, IL) singled and stole second.  Kazmierski doubled Rainbolt in, moved to third on a Brett Buchanan (JR, Willowbrook HS, IL) single, and scored on a Winckel sacrifice fly.  The Gorloks doubled their lead to 4-0 in the third as Bonds singled and Hall walked, and Stoulp reached on a ground out.  An error on the Blue Jays' third baseman scored Bonds and Stoulp wound up scoring on another passed ball.

Behme started the game and went six strong innings.  He gave up one run on just three hits and two walks.  Behme struck out five and raised his season record to 4-2 with the win.

Stoulp was two for five with two RBIs, a double, and two runs scored.  Rainbolt was two for four with an RBI, stolen base, and a run scored.  Winckel was two for three with two runs scored, and an RBI, and Bonds was two for three with two runs scored, and an RBI.

GAME TWO
Schneider took the mound for game two, his first start since 2011 after being sidelined with an arm injury in 2012.  Schneider scattered two hits over the first three innings, then got himself into a little jam in the fourth after allowing a two out double and a walk.  He struck out the next batter looking, one of four strikeouts, to end the threat.   Schneider went five innings, giving up four hits, one walk, and no runs in picking up the victory.

Buchanan came on in relief and pitched three scoreless innings through the eighth, striking out two and allowing two hits.  Jason Gray (SR, Eureka HS, MO) then pitched a scoreless ninth for his second straight save. 

The Gorloks scored in the first when Lasky singled to lead off the game, and after two outs, stole second and took third on the throw.  An error on the Westminster shortstop on a ground ball off the bat of Rainbolt sent Lasky home to put Webster up 1-0.  Kazmierski was two for two with a stolen base, run scored, and a walk.  Max Morohashi (FR, Campbell Hall, CA) got the start in left and was two for four with a stolen base and a run scored.

Webster is 15-5 overall.  The Gorloks travel down Big Bend to play at doubleheader at Washington University on April 6.  Webster dropped an extra inning decision to the Bears in Memphis on February 23 to open the season.  Webster resumes play in the SLIAC with a doubleheader vs. Greenville College (IL) on April 9 at GCS.
