Box Score

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Western Kentucky left-hander Devyn Terbrak fired a no-hitter, striking out 14 batters in the process, as the Hilltoppers completed a three-game sweep over South Dakota State in their nonconference baseball series with a 3-0 victory Sunday afternoon at Nick Denes Field.

WKU improved to 13-4 on the season, while the Jackrabbits fell to 3-8 overall.

Terbrak allowed only two baserunners in the complete-game effort, issuing a walk to Adam Benes in the first inning and hitting Jordan Sagedahl with a pitch in the sixth. Terbrak struck out at least one batter in every inning except the eighth and fanned the side in both the sixth and ninth frames.

The Hilltoppers gave Terbrak all the run support he would need by putting together a two-out rally in the bottom of the second. After SDSU starter Blake Kunz struck out the first two batters of the inning, Kirk Liebert dropped down a bunt single and came around to score on Camden Ross' double to right center. Brett Blomquist tallied the third consecutive hit of the inning with a single that plated Ross.

Kunz would go on to strike out five and walk one over 4 2/3 innings, while Ryan Bourassa notched seven strikeouts over the final 3 1/3 innings on the mound for the Jackrabbits.

WKU added an unearned run in the eighth inning for the final tally.

Bloomquist led the Hilltoppers' seven-hit effort by going 2-for-2 with a walk.

SDSU continues its Spring Break trip with a Tuesday night game at Lindenwood. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at the Lou Brock Sports Complex in St. Charles, Missouri.
