After winning the doubleheader at home on Friday, the Millikin baseball team made it a swept of the four game series defeating Wheaton College twice on April 3 in Wheaton, Illinois. Millikin won game one 9-6 and took the second game 28-5 in seven innings.
 
In game one, Garrett Fritz hit his second home run in as many days to put the Big Blue up 1-0 in the top of the second. Wheaton answered back with a five run bottom of the second inning to go up 5-1. The Big Blue cut the lead to 5-4 in the fifth inning scoring three runs including a leadoff home run from Andrew Auton. The game was tied at 5-5 heading into the eighth inning. Auton again homered for Millikin this time with a man on base to make it 7-5 Millikin. Wheaton cut the lead to 7-6 before Millikin added two insurance runs in the ninth on a two-run home run from Brent Beals.
 
Beals finished the game 2-4 at the plate with a homer and double with three RBI and three runs scored. Auton, Kyle Kane and Tommy Shaw each had two hits for Millikin.
 
Sam Reichert led Wheaton in game one going 3-5.
 
Jared Buzan was the winning pitcher for Millikin in relief throwing two innings allowing two hits. Beals picked up his sixth save of the season.
