The Millikin baseball team swept its opening series at the University Ozarks on February 17-18 in Clarksville, Arkansas.  After winning both games of a double header on Saturday, the Big Blue were 16-5 winners on Sunday.

The Big Blue built on its advantage with single runs in the seventh and eighth.

Millikin got contributions up and down the lineup with the top five spots doing most of the damage.  Leadoff man Devin Crews was 3-6 with a double and two runs scored.  Anthony Bryan was 3-5 with three runs scored and an RBI.  Mason Bruce went 3-5 with a double in the the number three spot with three runs scored and one RBI.  Jake Drada had one hit with two RBIs and two runs scored.  Julian Gutierrez was 2-2 with two walks driving home four runs while scoring twice.  Luke McConnell had two RBIs.  Jon Walters went 3-4 with a two-run homerun and four RBIs.
