ST. LOUIS, MO — Lindenwood leadoff man Charlie Isom-McCall had two RBI singles, a stolen base, and scored two runs in the Lions’ 9-1 win over Saint Louis University in a midweek, non-conference game, Tuesday night at the Billiken Sports Complex.
It was the first of two matchups between the Lions and Billikens this season. The second meeting will occur on May 5 at Lindenwood’s Lou Brock Sports Complex in St. Charles.
On Tuesday, the Lions led the entire game, after scoring runs in the second and third innings to take a 2-0 lead. Saint Louis got a run back in the bottom of the fifth, when sophomore centerfielder Ahmaad Duff singled, stole second and third, then scored on a sacrifice fly by teammate Drew Kleinheider.

The game stayed tight until Lindenwood broke it open with four runs in the top of the seventh — and they did so with just one hit. Lindenwood centerfielder Kam Edwards, who had two hits in the game, led off the inning with a single, stole second, then advanced to third following walks to teammates Filip Sarota and Owen Ralph, which loaded the bases.
The Lions then had four straight batters drive in a run without any hits. Sam Driscoll was hit by a pitch. Isom-McCall drew a walk. Will Geary was hit by a pitch and then William Zare drew a walk.
Suddenly, Lindenwood led 6-1. The Lions piled on three more runs in the ninth to complete what would be the team’s fourth straight win.
After suffering through a couple of tough losing stretches at the beginning and end of March, Lindenwood’s record is now back at the .500 mark at 18-18. Saint Louis, which has a 2-6 record in April, is 15-21 on the year.
The Lions will return to Ohio Valley Conference play this weekend, with a trip to Kentucky to play a three-game set against Morehead State. SLU will try to bounce back right away, with another midweek, non-conference game on the road against SIU-Edwardsville on Wednesday. First pitch for that contest will be at 6 p.m., and the game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
The Billikens will be back home this weekend, when they’ll host a three-game series against Atlantic 10 Conference foe, Davidson. Those games will also all be streamed live on ESPN+.
