CALDWELL, Idaho – Brock Ephan hit a first inning grand slam, helping Lewis-Clark State complete a 4-game sweep of College of Idaho, winning the series finale, 11-1, at Wolfe Field.
Ephan hit his third home run of the series, hitting the first pitch he saw in the opening frame deep over the left field wall, to stake the No. 9-ranked Warriors (20-2, 11-1 CCC) to a big early lead.
The Yotes (13-18, 5-11) got a run back in the second, as
Matthew Clay and
Weston Miller singled, with
Tanner Leaf plating Clay with a sacrifice fly. However, the C of I could not get the clutch hit they needed the rest of the afternoon – stranding a pair of runners in the second, sixth and eighth innings.
LCSC added a 2-run single from Luke White in the third and broke the game open with a 4-run seventh inning.
Clay led the Yotes with a pair of hits, while White went 3-for-4 in the win for LC.
C of I has next weekend off before starting the second half of the Cascade Conference season at home, hosting Corban on April 3-4.
