(ALLENDALE, Mich.) – Two late runs allowed Walsh to win a 4-3 opener against Grand Valley State before it dropped a high scoring 15-8 affair in a GLIAC twin bill on Saturday.

The Cavaliers are now 17-15 overall and 8-4 in the conference. The Lakers are 17-11-1 overall and are tied with Walsh for third place in the GLIAC with an 8-4 mark.

In the opener, Walsh scored two in the first and two in the sixth to take the 4-3 victory. Austin Szink lit up the scoreboard first with a bases-loaded double to right to score Luke Caple and Tyson Lautanen.

After the Lakers scored three runs over the fourth and fifth frames, Brook Clark tied the game at 3-3 as his ground out to second allowed Stalnaker to score and Szink to move to third. An error on the Lakers' first baseman on the next play allowed Szink to score the winning run.

Grand Valley was limited to one hit the rest of the way as Alex Zander pitched the sixth and Lautanen took the hill in the seventh to record his sixth save of the season, third-most in the GLIAC.
