The William Jewell College baseball team was swept by Maryville University in a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader Sunday at Weber Field, beating the Cardinals 2-1 and 4-2 to earn the series victory three games to one.

The wins improve the Saints to 11-11 on the season and 7-5 in GLVC play while Jewell falls to 7-15 overall and 5-7 in league action.

In the opener the Cardinals trailed 2-0 before scoring their only run of the game in the top of the seventh as Jared Patton's fielder's choice scored Colman Waheed but Maryville was able to hold on for the narrow 2-1 win. 

Waheed led the Cards going 2-3 with a run scored. 

Drew Mitrisin (2-2) was the tough luck loser tossing six innings giving up only three hits, two ones, and one walk while striking out two. 

In the second game, Jewell got off to a 1-0 lead when Waheed drove home Sam Morman in the top of the fourth.  Maryville answered back with two runs in the bottom of the sixth and two more in the bottom of the eighth. 

Jewell then scored one in the ninth as Waheed's triple scored Bryan Rezin.  That would be as close as the Cardinals would get as Maryville would take the game 4-2. 

Billy Kirkpatrick (1-3) took the loss after giving up 9 hits and four runs (two earned) in 7 innings.  He did strike out six and walked only one. 

Waheed again led the Cards offense going 2-4 with two RBI's. 

William Jewell will host Rockhurst University on Tuesday, April 1 at Talley Stadium on the Jewell campus in Liberty, Mo.  First pitch is set for 12:00 p.m.
