Elmhurst Pulls Away From Wisconsin Lutheran Late

Engelhardt, Lopeztello lead WLC with two hits each

ELMHURST, Ill. (WLCSports.com) - Wisconsin Lutheran College dropped a 10-3 non-conference road contest to Elmhurst on Wednesday at Butterfield Park.

The Bluejays (14-16) scored four first-inning runs on just two hits and an error to take an early lead. 

The first three Warriors batters reached base in the third inning, including a RBI single from freshman Eli Michaelis (Wauwatosa, Wis.). Senior Ryan Dominick (Bartlett, Ill.) and junior Foster Engelhardt (North Richland Hills, Texas) also added two-out RBI singles later in the frame for a 4-3 deficit.

WLC stranded a pair of runners on base in both the fourth and fifth inning and the score remained 4-3 until the bottom of the seventh. 

EU scored two seventh-inning runs without a hit, as the first five batters reached via three walks and two hit by pitch. Elmhurst added four unearned runs in the eighth inning for the final 10-3 margin.

Engelhardt and freshman Oliver Lopeztello (Chicago, Ill.) tallied two hits each for Wisconsin Lutheran, while three other players posted a hit each. Sophomores Jaime Miner (Erie, Ill.) and Will Tucholski (Geneva, Ill.) combined for five scoreless relief innings on the mound.

WLC (3-25) returns home for a six-game weekend homestand, starting Friday with a 2 p.m. non-conference doubleheader against Maranatha Baptist (1-22). Live coverage links will be available at WLCSports.com.
