O’FALLON, MO. – Visiting Wisconsin-Parkside took a pair of games from the University of Missouri-St. Louis baseball team Wednesday afternoon at TR Hughes Ballpark. The Rangers held off a seventh inning rally to win the opener, 4-3, before taking game two, 4-0.

Senior Scott Lavelock doubled down the right field line with one out to score senior Ryan Ayers, for the first run. Senior Cole Willams followed with a single up the middle to score junior Andy Ford, to trim the deficit to 4-2. Senior Eric Kuntz then grounded out to second, scoring Lavelock for the final score, 4-3.

Sophomore Zach Sheets went 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, while Williams was 2-for-4.

Senior Dan O’Heron took the loss for UMSL, allowing two earned runs on eight hits.
