ALBION, Mich. – Drew Weaver threw his second complete game of the season and Kellan Huang matched his longest start of the season as Albion College took a pair of Monday baseball games, 11-0 and 9-2, from Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association rival Kalamazoo College at Champions Stadium at Frank Joranko Field.

The victories lifted Albion to a split of the four games with Kalamazoo. Albion, 16-11 overall and 11-5 against MIAA rivals, maintains third place in the MIAA standings with 12 league games remaining. The Britons have series against the two teams tied for the MIAA lead, Adrian College and Hope College, and fourth place Trine University left on the schedule.

Weaver (3-2) allowed four hits in pitching his first shutout at the collegiate level. He did receive help from his defense.

• Catcher Jordyn Finney threw out a runner trying to steal second to end the first inning
• Alex Fultz doubled to leadoff the second inning, but he was picked off on a throw from Weaver to shortstop Joe Turnbull
• First baseman Andrew Arszulowicz snared a line drive and he tagged the base to double up the baserunner
• Turnbull started a 6-4-3 double play to get the last two outs of the sixth inning

Albion broke a scoreless game by scoring five times in the third inning. Finney delivered a big blow with a single scoring Justin Charron and Huang.

Eight of the nine batters in Albion's starting lineup collected a hit. Sean Haddlesey and Huang collected two hits apiece and Olszewski drove in three runs.
