Big Blue Baseball Falls to Illinois Wesleyan

          The Millikin baseball team lost a home conference doubleheader to Illinois Wesleyan on April 23 at Sunnyside Park in Decatur, Illinois.  The Titans won game one 9-7 and downed the Big Blue in game two 9-0.
          The Titans jumped out to an early lead in game one with three runs in the first and three more in the second.  The Big Blue fought its way back into the game with one in the first, two in the third, two in the sixth and two in the ninth.  Millikin had the tying run on base in the ninth, but Titans shortstop Jarrod Juskiewicz made a stellar catch to end the game.
          Mason Bruce picked up three hits in game one for Millikin.  Keith Askins and Michael Guddendorf each added two hits.  Julian Gutierrez had three RBIs for Millikin.
          Matthew Mardis was 3-4 for the Titans with a double, home run and three RBIs.  Mitch Pfieffer, Mike Plecki and Stephen Billington each had two hits for Illinois Wesleyan in game one.

          Millikin's Seth Coffey picked up base hits in both games extending his hitting streak to 25 straights.
