Game 2 Box Score & Play-By-Play

ROMEOVILLE - The Lewis University baseball team lost a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader to the University of Missouri-St. Louis Saturday afternoon at Brennan Field, losing game one 11-1 and falling 16-11 in game two.

The losses dropped the Flyers to 12-24 overall and 6-15 in the GLVC. Missouri-St. Louis improved to 20-17-1 overall and 15-9 in the conference.

In the opener, Lewis scored its only run on a wild pitch in the fifth inning. Darryl Jenkins had two of the Flyers' five hits off UMSL pitcher Josh Morgan (4-2), who went the 7-inning distance and issued just one walk.

The nightcap was highlighted by a 5-for-5 performance, including two doubles, by freshman second baseman Mike Smith.

Ahren Baranski had a double among his three hits and drove in two runs. Andy Sweet had two hits including a double, while Brian Davis, Brandon Niewinski and Andy Radak each had two hits. Matt Flavin tripled and Chris Carbonaro doubled for the Flyers.

After trailing 5-0, Lewis got back in the game with four runs in the second. UMSL scored four times in the third to stretch its lead to 9-4, but the Flyers pulled even with five unearned runs in the bottom of the third.

From there, the Rivermen scored once in the fourth, twice in the fifth and sixth, and once in the seventh and ninth, while the Flyers managed only single tallies in the seventh and ninth.

Lewis hosts Saint Joseph's Wednesday in a GLVC doubleheader that begins at 1 p.m.
