Millikin Headed to CCIW Championship Game after Win over Pioneers

The Millikin baseball team is headed to the championship game of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament after downing Carroll University 4-0 on May 21 in Carol Stream, Illinois.
 
The Big Blue broke out the power in the first inning with Gabe Soria and Brent Beals hitting solo home runs. Millikin added a run in the second when Andrew Auton leadoff with a double and scored on a RBI single from Garrett Fritz. Beals tripled to lead off the fourth and scored on an RBI ground out from Auton to make it a 4-0 Big Blue lead. Soria and Beals each had two hits for Millikin.
 
In addition to being a force at the plate, Beals was the winning pitcher throwing seven shutout innings allowing three hits while striking out five.
 
TJ Pfaffle had two hits for the Pioneers.
 
The Big Blue improve to 30-13 on the season. Millikin will play at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 22 against an opponent to be determined at the Wheaton College Field in Carol Stream, Illinois. The Big Blue need one win the tournament and earned the CCIW's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Millikin will be hosting an NCAA Regional May 27-30. By advancing to the Championship game undefeated, Millikin's opponent would have to beat the Big Blue twice to win the tournament.
