Big Blue Baseball Wins Third Straight

          The Millikin baseball team won its third straight game in Florida defeating Purchase College 3-0 in an early morning contest on March 21 in Fort Myers, Florida.  Millikin is now 5-1 while Purchase College goes to 5-8.
          The Big Blue jump ahead in the first inning on three straight singles by Seth Coffey, Julian Gutierrez and Devin Crews.  Millikin scored twice in the fifth.  Andrew Huss started the inning with a double and scored on an RBI fielder's choice by Coffey.  Millikin's final run came on a Gutierrez sacrifice bunt RBI scoring Anthony Rendina.
Coffey and Gutierrez each had two hits for the Big Blue.
          Millikin got a strong pitching performance limiting Purchase to just two hits.  Freshman Adam Zuk picked up his first collegiate victory throwing six and two-thirds innings allowing two hits while striking out six.  John Fisher threw one and one-third innings of hitless relief.  Ben Peters picked up his second save of the season pitching the ninth inning without allowing a hit and striking out two.  Peters tied the Millikin career saves record with seven.
