Gorloks Hold Off Sagehens in Claremont

CLAREMONT, Calif. – The Webster University baseball was back in action this afternoon when they traveled to Claremont, California, to take on Pamona-Pitzer (Calif.) for a nonconference matchup. The Gorloks defeated the Sagehen's by a final score of 6-5 to improve to 5-6 on the season. With the loss, Pamono-Pitzer falls to 8-10 on the season.

Webster put together 12 hits in the contest. They got on the board in the top of the first as Evan Evola launched his second homerun of the season to give the Gorloks a 1-0 lead. They added a run in each of the next two innings to extend their lead to 3-0, and then a solo homerun from Nathaniel Martinez (2) in the top of the fourth would give Webster a 4-0 lead in the game. Webster would extend the lead to 5-0 after a solo homerun from Charlie Burton in the top of the eighth, but three runs in the bottom of the eighth from the Sagehen's would cut the lead to 5-3 heading into the ninth. Evan Evola would launch his second homerun of the game in the top of the ninth and the Gorloks would take a 6-3 lead into the final half inning.
