Starter Zach Schneider (SR, Grayslake, IL/Warren Township HS) allowed his first run of the season but won his third game in as many starts as the #6 ranked Webster University baseball team completed a series sweep with a 4-1 win at MacMurray College (IL), on March 30. With the victory, the Gorloks have won six straight.
Schneider, a SLIAC Player of the Week, went seven and 1/3 innings, allowing eight hits and a walk, one run, and striking out eight. Jason Gray (SR, St. Louis, MO/Eureka HS) pitched the final inning and two-thirds, picking up his first save of the season.
Webster took a 1-0 lead in the first when Taylor Stoulp (SR, St. Louis, MO/St. Mary's HS) singled, stole second, and scored on a Jeff Kammer (JR, Chesterfield, MO/Jefferson College) single. The Highlanders tied it up in the bottom half after Schneider gave up a walk and a single, and a two-out single to score what would be MacMurray's lone run.
In the Webster fourth, Stoulp reached on an error, took second on a passed ball and scored on a Joe Winckel (SR, Bonne Terre, MO/North County HS) single, making it 2-1 Gorloks. In the seventh, Winckel singled, Brett Buchanan (SR, Villa Park, IL/Willowbrook HS) walked with no one out.
After Jarrod Turner (SR, Springfield, IL/Chatham Glenwood HS) pinch ran for Winckel, he and Buchanan pulled a double steal. Kevin Kojs (SR, New Lenox, IL/Lincoln Way Cental HS) scored Turner on a sac fly for a 3-1 lead.
The Gorloks completed the scoring in the eighth when Lasky singled, moved to third on a wild pickoff throw, and scored on a Stoulp single. Stoulp, a SLIAC Player of the Week also, wound up 2-4, with an RBI, two runs, and a stolen base. Winckel was 2-3 with an RBI and stolen base.
The Gorloks had defeated MacMurray in a twin bill at GCS Ballpark the previous day. Webster is 4-0 in the SLIAC and 12-3 overall. The team will travel to Carlinville, IL, on April 1 for a doubleheader vs. Blackburn College.
