CALDWELL, Idaho - No. 1 ranked Lewis-Clark State scored five runs on only one hit in the top of the tenth inning, as the Warriors completed a three-game sweep of Albertson College, defeating the Yotes, 6-1, at Simplot Stadium.

ACI reliever Richie Snider walked the first five men he faced in extra innings, with a free pass to Beau Mills bringing in the eventual winning run.  The Yotes would go to the pen, but Kris Bittner allowed a sixth walk and a two-run single to Kyle Greene to cap the five-run rally.

L-C (19-1, 6-0 Region I) took a 1-0 lead in the third on a Mills RBI single, but a pair of double plays, an outfield assist at home plate, and a pickoff at third base kept the Warriors at bay.  Andrew Brock stymied the big bats of the top-ranked team, allowing just one run on six hits in seven and a third innings of work.

The Coyotes (15-5, 6-3) drew even in the sixth, as Adam Roach rapped a two-out single and moved to second on a walk to Dane McGrady.  Drew Echanis followed with an RBI single to center to tie the score.  ACI nearly won it in the ninth, as the Yotes got a two-out single from Luke Howarth and a walk to Tyler Smith, but Warior shortstop Mark Thompson made a nice back-handed stop of a Pat Burke smash in the hole, getting the lead runner to send the game to extra innings.

Brian Parker notched the win for L-C, allowing just one run on three hits in four-plus innings of relief.  Starter Jared Joaquin allowed just two hits in his four-plus innings of work.

Howarth had a pair of hits in the loss for ACI, while Brett Wyatt and Greene each had two hits for the Warriors, who extended their win streak to seven in a row.

ACI returns to action next weekend, traveling to Portland for a three-game series at Concordia.
