Burch, Thompson lead LC to road sweep

KEIZER, Ore. –  Tyler Burch tossed the ball over the plate, and Matt Thompson launched it over the fences as Lewis-Clark State defeated Corban University 9-3 & 6-3 in an NAIA West doubleheader Saturday.  Coming off a loss, LC grabbed the lead in the sixth inning of game one, and never trailed the rest of the day.

Riley Way gave LC a short-lived 1-0 lead in the third inning with an RBI single, but Corban jumped on LC starter Tyler Burch for three runs on three hits in the bottom of the inning for a 3-1 advantage. 

Burch then proceeded to shut down the home team, allowing just two base runners in the last six innings, both via a walk, and retiring the last 11 he faced.  Burch (9-1), coming off a complete-game victory over Oregon Tech, became the first Warrior pitcher to throw back-to-back complete games since 2015.  He struck out 10, and allowed just one earned run in the three-hitter.

LC inched back in the game in the fourth inning on Matt Thompson's solo home run, and then tied the game at 3-3 in the fifth when Way squeezed in A.J. Davis.  Mason Verge and Davis added RBI singles in the sixth inning, and along with a Corban error, LC pushed ahead 6-3. Kody Garvin's eighth-inning single gave the Warriors a 7-3 lead, and Tyler McDowell's two-run home run in the ninth added insurance runs.
 
Five Warrior batters had multiple hits in LC's 12-hit attack.

In the second game, Darren Trainor put LC ahead 1-0 in the fourth inning with a single to right.  Thompson then homered in his second-consecutive game, this time a two-run shot in the fifth.  Three batters later, Mason Verge hit his first career home run, also a two-run dinger, and LC was off and running with a 5-0 lead.

After Corban scored two runs in the sixth, Thompson collected his fourth RBI of the day, a seventh-inning single, for the Warriors final run.
 
Tanner Simpson (3-0), the last of three Warrior hurlers, picked up the win, pitching the last four innings in relief.  He allowed one run, unearned, and struck out seven and surrendered five hits.  Rian Bassett and Tyler Charlo tossed the first five innings.  Bassett was relieved after issuing seven walks in two innings, but no runs. 

LC (36-10, 25-6 NAIA West) and Corban (27-23, 16-15) play the final game of the four-game series Sunday at 11 a.m.  The Warriors will be playing their 18th consecutive road game before returning home next weekend for a season-ending series against Whitworth.
