WKU Baseball came home with a four-game series sweep over the Marshall Thundering Herd last weekend.

On Friday in game one the Hilltoppers came out on top of a high scoring affair 10-6. Saturday's double-header saw WKU come out on top of game one 6-1 and win another high-scoring affair 15-5 in game two.

Sunday's finale ended up the same score as Friday's opening game, 10-6, as the Hilltoppers would complete their second sweep of the Thundering Herd this season.

Game one included a career day at the plate from second baseman Ray Zuberer III, as he would tally a four for five day with two doubles and two home runs. Relieving starter Jake Kates, pitcher Ryan O'Connell picked up the win allowing just one run and whiffing a pair in 2.1 innings pitched.

In a seven-inning double-header on Saturday outfielder Justin Carlin was just the second Hilltopper since at least 2005 to hit three home runs and eight RBI in a game. WKU would combine for 18 hits in both games, giving up just 11 to dominate Marshall in games two and three.

The Hilltoppers would find comeback energy in game four on Sunday as they headed into the ninth inning down 6-2. Outfielder Jackson Swiney tagged a pinch-hit grand slam in the ninth to give WKU the lead and take care of the sweep to give the Hilltoppers an 8-0 record against Marshall for 2021.

WKU now sits at 23-21 and 13-11 in conference play with two conference series left on the schedule. The are currently tied for third in the Conference USA East Division with upcoming opponent Florida Atlantic.

The Hilltoppers will host the Owls in their last four-game home series of the season beginning Friday. First pitch is set for 5:00 PM CT at Nick Denes Field.
