SAUGET, Ill. – The Webster University baseball team was back in action this afternoon when they played host to the Fontbonne (Mo.)

The Griffins bounced back with a run in the top of the third and four runs in the top of the fourth to take a 4-1 lead in the game. The Gorloks were able to tie the game in the top of the sixth, and then a solo homerun from Charlie Burton (4) and an RBI double from Matt Staker in the bottom of the seventh gave Webster a 6-4 lead in the game. Webster would score three more runs in the bottom of the eighth and close out the Griffins in the final half innings to solidify the win.
