ST. LOUIS, MO. – Senior Kyle Dermody recorded save numbers five and six on the season, helping the University of Missouri-St. Louis baseball team to a pair of non-conference shutout victories over McKendree on Wednesday afternoon.
 
Dermody came into both games with runners on base as the visiting Bearcats (14-25) threatened to rally.
 
The Tritons won by scores of 3-0 and 1-0 to improve to 21-17 overall. UMSL, which avenged a 10-6 loss at McKendree earlier this season with today's two wins, has also won eight of its last night games.
 
UMSL will travel to No. 22 ranked and GLVC West Division leader Drury this Friday and Saturday in the Triton's final league road series of the season.
 
GAME 1: UMSL 3, McKendree 0
The Tritons broke open a scoreless game with a three-run fourth inning – all with two outs. Senior pinch hitter Spencer Thompson drew a full count bases loaded walk to bring the first run in, while senior Paul Richmond followed with a two-run single down the left field line.
 
Juniors Matt Meyer and Luke Hayes and Dermody combined for the shutout. Meyer went three innings in the start, allowing just one hit, while Hayes, who recorded his first win of the season, scattered five hits, while striking out four in three and one-thirds of an inning. Dermody recorded his fifth save of the season, getting the lone batter he faced to ground into a double play to end the game.
 
Five different players recorded a single for the Tritons.
 
GAME 2: UMSL 1, McKendree 0
Three consecutive hits in the bottom of the sixth inning helped the Tritons break a scoreless game, including freshman Jake Beckwith's ground-rule RBI double, which accounted for the game's only run. UMSL had just three hits previously in the game and Beckwith finished with two of the Tritons' six in the game.
 
McKendree used a single and a double to put runners on second and third bases in the seventh inning before Dermody came into to retire the final two Bearcat hitters to help complete the sweep.
 
Junior Dan Droege collected the win in one and one-thirds of an inning of relief, scattering two hits, while junior Chris True allowed just two hits in five innings in the start, while also striking out five.
