Siewert, Perez key Westminster win

ELGIN -- The Westminster Christian baseball team knocked off visiting Kirkland-Hiawatha 8-3 on Friday in non-conference action.

Brandon Siewert (4-for-4, 2 doubles, 2 RBIs), Chadd Schroy (home run), Brandon Weingartner (double, RBI) and Ryan Perez (2 RBIs) provided the offense. Perez (3-0) earned the win, coming on in relief to strike out seven, walk one and allow two hits in four innings.
