Warrensburg, Mo. - The No. 11-ranked Central Missouri Mules defeated the Missouri Southern Lions 13-0 in game one and then 8-1 in the nightcap to sweep a doubleheader Saturday (Apr. 28) in Warrensburg, Mo.

Will Feil scored four times and drove in a run with three hits to pace the Mules offensive attack in the first game.

The Mules led 2-0 against Lions' starter Scotty Roberson after the first inning before erupting for eight runs in the third inning, led by a two-run double by Iain Dykins to put Central up 10-0.

Kris Webber allowed no runs and only two Lion hits to gain the win for the Mules in the opener.

Central (43-8, 25-5 MIAA) scored the first run of the nightcap in the first off Lucas Vestal, but the Lions (15-30, 8-22 MIAA) responded by tying the score in the third.

Justin Heuther led off the inning with the only Lion hit of the second game against Mules' hurler Jared Potts and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Juan Hernandez.

But the Mules took control by scoring three runs in each of the next two innings to take a commanding 7-1 advantage.

Potts was the winning pitcher for UCM in game two after allowing only the one run in six innings of work.

The Lions and Mules will conclude the weekend series with a single, nine-inning contest Sunday (Apr. 29) at 1 p.m.
