Hilltoppers finish sweep of Marshall with 8-1 win Sunday

Western Kentucky finished a four-game sweep of Marshall on Sunday at Nick Denes Field.

The Hilltoppers’ pitching again dominated the Thundering Herd, and WKU closed out its third series against a Conference USA foe with an 8-1 victory.

Luke Stofel got the start – the second of his WKU career – and allowed three hits and one run in five innings of work. He struck out three and walked one in the outing. Ryan O’Connell allowed four hits and struck out four in four shutout innings of relief.

WKU pitchers Devyn Terbrak, Jake Kates and Sean Bergeron threw three straight complete games in the first three games of the series with the Thundering Herd.
