Western\u2019s baseball team (18-19) had a busy few days this past weekend, playing a four-game series against Great Northwest Athletic Conference opponent St. Martin\u2019s University (13-22).<\/p>\n
Western would come out with a perfect 4-0 record on the weekend, keeping them atop the conference standings at No. 1. The series win came days after a victory over National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics powerhouse Lewis and Clark State College of Idaho (27-10).<\/p>\n
Day one saw two more wins by the Wolves (7-1, 3-2), with junior Darrien Moran pitching for the duration of the game.<\/p>\n
Moran\u2019s pitching was top notch as he allowed one earned run on six hits to go along with a game-high tying six strikeouts, while picking up his fourth win of the season.<\/p>\n
Adding to Moran\u2019s success was junior Cody Sullivan and senior Matt Taylor, who both hit two triples; they would end up leading the Wolves at the end of the series with three hits apiece.<\/p>\n
Day two of the series would go just as well for the Wolves, as they picked up two more wins for Western (13-4, 6-5). Pitcher Brady Miller took the mound and went 2-0, racking up his latest win for the Wolves.<\/p>\n
The Saints could not handle the Wolves hitting game one, as Western breezed by for an easy 13-4 victory. The next day was a different story, with the wolves winning with a walk-off single by senior Michael Sherwin.<\/p>\n
Western returns to the field Friday, April 17, when the Wolves open a five-game series against Montana State University Billings, starting with a suspended game from mid-March beginning at 1 p.m. at Dehlar Park in Billings, Montana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
