Jordan Wilcox
Still alive.
Bouncing back from an extra-innings loss, the Western Washington University baseball team knocked Iowa out of the National Club Baseball Association Division 1 World Series in Tampa Monday.
With former Coupeville High School star Jordan Wilcox chipping in with a hit, a walk and a run, the Vikings toppled the Hawkeyes 6-3 in a loser-out game and advanced to the semifinals.
Western (2-1) will face Penn State (2-0) Tuesday. Win that and they’ll get a second crack at the Nittany Lions Wednesday.
Win both and they play in the title game Thursday against either James Madison (the team that beat them) or Florida.
Against Iowa, Western broke a 3-3 tie with a run in the top of the fourth, then added two insurance runs in the fifth, more than enough as their hurlers shut down the Hawkeyes after the second inning.
Wilcox is hitting .333 with three RBI in the World Series, and added three more assists and a pair of putouts while patrolling second base for the Vikings.
