Baseball falls at Methodist

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.--The Westminster College baseball program suffered a 10-2 loss to Methodist College Tuesday afternoon at Armstrong-Shelley Field.

Methodist, winners of four its last five, improved to 11-5 with victory. Westminster has now dropped three straight, falling to 4-5 overall. 

Westminster managed five hits Tuesday. Graduate second baseman Logan Murgenovich (Aliquippa, Pa., Central Valley) went 1-for-2, hammering a two-out double to right in the first. He is riding an eight-game hitting streak.

Scoreless through three-and-a-half, Methodist plated three runs in the fourth and five more in the fifth to grab an 8-0 lead. The Monarchs added another in the sixth on a wild pitch to go up 9-0. Freshman left fielder Aaron Jones (Buffalo, N.Y., Canisius) drew a one-out, bases loaded walk in the eighth before Methodist added another score on a wild pitch in the bottom of the inning. 

Freshman pinch hitter Keagan Book (Butler, Pa., Moniteau) led off the ninth with a base hit before freshman shortstop Thomas Rook (Clarence Center, N.Y., Clarence) followed with a single of his own. Book and Rook advanced on a passed ball before freshman first baseman Jack Strausser (Greenville, Pa., Greenville) scored Book with an RBI groundout. 

Junior right-hander Tyler Staub (Edinburg, Pa., Union) took the loss, giving up six runs (6 earned) on five hits with a walk and four strikeouts in 4.0 innings. Sophomore shortstop Braeden Campbell (Glenshaw, Pa., Shaler) had a one-out single in the third, pushing his streak of reaching base safely to seven games.
