AROUND THE SLIAC

The Blackburn baseball team recorded their first win of the 2014 season with a 12-2 victory in the final game of a three game series against Westminster. The Beavers pounded out 12 hits with three players recording multiple hits, led by Aaron Moody's 3-for-5 game.

The Eureka baseball team will be looking to get into the win column for the first time this season as they are on the road against a pair of SLIAC teams. The Red Devils will face Greenville mid-week in a two game series and then head to Spalding for a three game weekend series.

Fontbonne senior pitcher Jacob Becker etched his name into the Griffins record book with a no-hitter against Principia College. Becker worked seven innings, allowing no hits while striking out six. The only base runners against Becker came on a hit by pitch and three Griffin errors. Becker is the third player in school history to record a no-hitter, all occurring since the 2010 season.

The Greenville softball team brings a four game winning streak into action this weekend. The Panthers won their final two games at the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic and took both games of their SLIAC opener against Spalding. The Panthers host Eureka and Westminster this week.

The Iowa Wesleyan baseball team picked up the program's first ever wins in the SLIAC as they swept Principia in a three game series last week. Iowa Wesleyan won 8-5, 8-6 and 10-0 and are back in action this weekend with a game against MacMurray and a three game series against Fontbonne.

MacMurray softball head coach Lexy Determan notched her first coaching wins in a double header sweep over MSOE last week. The Highlanders won 3-2 and 7-1, their first wins of the 2014 season. They return to action with scheduled games against Iowa Wesleyan and Webster this weekend.

The Principia softball team, at 3-5 on the season, dropped their 2014 SLIAC opener to Fontbonne. The Panthers return to action this weekend with a double header against St. Louis College of Pharmacy.

Spalding's Kyle Jenkins earned SLIAC Player of the Week honors after placing in the top three in three different events at the J. Owen Huntsman Relays hosted by Wabash College. Jenkins took first in the shot put and followed with a second place finish in the hammer throw and a third place finish in the discus.

The Gorlok women's track and field team swept SLIAC Player of the Week honors as Lauren McClain and Jenny Howard took home the weekly honors. McClain placed first in the shot put at the Rhodes Invitational while Howard set conference highs this season in both the 100-meter and 200-meter dash.
