In game one, Joe Morrison held the Gorloks to one run over six sterling innings, scattering five hits, walking one while punching out five.
Webster, who scored first in the 6th inning, saw Wesleyan grab a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the inning on RBI base hits by Corbin Broeker and Nick Salas.
From there, however, the Gorloks would score the games’ final three runs scratching across two runs in the 7th and an insurance run in the 9th.
Steve Larson took the loss out of the bullpen for Wesleyan allowing two earned while striking out two.
