ST. JOSEPH, MO. – A quartet of Missouri Western State University batters tallied multiple-hit outings Tuesday, April 23, topping a non-conference victory at Griffon Park.
 
Senior outfielder Ryan Koval (Olathe, Kan.), junior infielder Quinn Gundelfinger (Nixa, Mo.), sophomore outfielder Anthony Taggart (Topeka, Kan.), and senior infielder Travis Wiese (Vancouver, Wash.) all compiled two-or-more safeties to guide a 13-hit attack for head coach Damian Stambersky's squad. Taggart and Koval each tripled while junior infielder Kaden Doan (Frisco, Texas) also ripped a three-bagger, and senior catcher Noah Cook (Urbandale, Iowa) clouted his fifth home run of the season.
 
All of that output lifted the home team to 11 runs and a quick 6-0 lead over visiting Quincy University of Illinois. The visitors crept as close as 7-5 before Missouri Western State University (19-25) plated four of the final five runs to close out an 11-6 victory.
