LACEY, Wash. --- For the fourth GNAC doubleheader in a row, the Western Oregon baseball team split as the Wolves took game one against Saint Martin's 10-6 before falling in game two 3-1 Sunday at Saints Field.

In those four split doubleheaders in a row, the Wolves (11-13 overall, 6-6 GNAC) have also won the first game each time.

In game one, the Wolves trailed 2-1 heading into the third when a six-run outburst highlights by a two-run single by Danny Alvarado made it 7-2 WOU. The Saints (9-19, 4-8) scored in the fourth before a two-run homer in the sixth by Justyn Herzog made it 9-3. Alvarado added an RBI double in the ninth to make it 10-3 before SMU scored three in the ninth to make the final 10-6.

Arturo Alvarez picked up the win, going 5.1 innings and giving up three runs on eight hits with four strikeouts.

Alvarado, a redshirt sophomore playing in his first game as a Wolf, led the way at the plate - going 4-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run. Herzog finished 2-for-4 with the homer, two RBI and three runs while John Olseson went 2-for-5 with a run.

In game two, SMU scored three in the first and made it stand - though WOU threatened in the seventh and final inning. Oleson was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, Curran Mitzel followed with a single up the midddle and Herzog walked to load the bases with no outs. After a WOU strikeout, Spencer Six hit an RBI groundout to first to cut the Saints' lead to 3-1. But that's as close as WOU would get as SMU was able to get the final out of the contest without any more damage.

Jacob Memmott picked up the loss, going one inning and giving up three runs on four hits with a strikeout and a walk. Shane Bailey (2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 SO) and Devin Bell (3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 SO) combined to toss five shutout innings in relief - giving up just two hits.

The Wolves play a midweek contest at George Fox in Newberg on 2 p.m. Wednesday and don't play against until host MSU Billings March 29.
