ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The Coe College baseball team finished off a three-game series at No. 20 Washington University St. Louis Sunday, falling 10-4 in the final game to the Bears. The hosts Bears took an early lead with three runs in the first inning and despite one from the Kohawks in the second, WashU went on to extend the lead to 8-1 before any further Coe damage. Coe scored once in the eighth and twice in the ninth as
Ryan Thoreson, Jack Casey and
Ryan Brosius picked up RBI but WashU's lead was far too much to overcome. The Koahwks had 11 hits in the game with
Austin Gomez, Jon Wille and Casey each recording multi-hit performances while
Jack McMann recorded Coe's other RBI.
