Senior Matt Attema pitched a six-inning complete game, yielding two earned runs on five hits, two walks, and three strikeouts.
Attema received sufficient run support in various ways from the Stars’ hitting. Specifically, three underclassmen stepped up to push Southwest Christian to victory. Sophomore center fielder Colin Provart drove in two runs on an RBI-single, while sophomore Cody Pollock matched Provart with a double that also brought home two.
Sophomore Aaron Johnson crossed the plate three times for the Stars, reaching base on two walks and an error.
