ST. LOUIS, MO. - The University of Missouri - St. Louis Tritons baseball team dropped the final game of the series with William Jewell by the score of 7-3. 
 
In the bottom of the third, the Tritons (2-14, 1-3 GLVC) made it 1-0 when Brandon Olion hit a double deep to right center field, scoring Brandon Pasley all the way from first base. Olion moved to third on a Matt DiMemmo base hit to right field, then scored as the ball got past the right fielder to make it 2-0. 
 
In the fifth inning, the Cardinals (16-5, 3-1 GLVC)  had the bases loaded with no one out and plated their first run on a ground ball double play from a nice play by third baseman Logan Mantz, then tied the game at two on an RBI base hit to right field. 
 
The Cardinals threatened in the top of the sixth with a runner on third and two outs, but starter Jack Rhodes got his final batter of the game to ground into a fielder's choice to end the inning. Rhodes went six innings, scattering six hits and allowed just two runs, getting a no decision in the contest. 
 
In the top of the seventh, the Cardinals had their first three batters reach with a walk and two hit-by-pitches. A sacrifice fly broke the tie and gave the Cardinals a 3-2 lead, then an RBI groundout made it 4-2. 
 
The Tritons made it a one run game in the bottom of the eighth on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Logan Mantz, driving in Clayton Stephens who hit a leadoff double to deep center field. 
 
The Cardinals added to their lead in the ninth, scoring their fifth run of the game on a sacrifice fly, then made it 6-3 on an RBI base hit to right field. The Cardinals tacked on another in the inning to make it the final score, 7-3. 
 
Clayton Stephens tallied two of the Tritons' seven hits in the game while also scoring a run. 
 
The Tritons travel to Illinois-Springfield on Tuesday for a midweek GLVC matchup.
