As Ernie Banks on steroids might say, "Let's play 3." Visitors ro Smith Field saw 2 good games and a blowout, an emotional senior day ceremony and a ton of walks and HRs. At the end of the day LMU won 2 of 3 to keep their conference hopes alive.

Waldusky vs Brooks
Sac St as the designated home team threatened to score in the 2nd. Navarro got a bloop single and Naaken faked a bunt and then bounced a single up the middle but Waldusky struck out 2 of the next 3 batters to escape. LMU put runners in scoring position in the 3rd without a hit. Two walks and an Illegal Pitch but they couldn't be cashed in. The Hornets got on the board in the bottom of the inning on 3 singles with Navarro driving in the run. The Lions got 2 walks in the 4th (they would get 24 for the day) but no hitting. A walk and an RBI single by Caldwell got the Hornets started in the 4th and Frye's 2 run double finished it. LMU came right back with 3 of their own. Two walks were cashed in by Kelly Sarginson with a big HR. THis brought Stroud to the circle and she got the 3rd out. LMU had 1 more chance in the 7th. Fischer was walked intentionally for the 3rd time and Sarginson also drew a walk but that was as far as they got.
