JACKSONVILLE, Ill.- The Illinois College Blueboys baseball team hosted Millikin University on Tuesday in a doubleheader. The team suffered two losses to drop to 4-11 overall this season.
GAME 1- Illinois College 2, Millikin University 16 (7 innings)
The highlight for IC in game one came from
Jon Tate with a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning to put the Blueboys on the board.
Louie Bartletti also had an impressive showing going three for four at the plate.
Millikin was able to get their offense going early to jump to a demanding lead. This would prove too much to overcome as the Blueboys would suffer the loss in game one.
Cullen McBride suffered the loss at the mound pitching 1.0 innings with one strikeout.
GAME 2- Illinois College 0, Millikin University 20 (7 innings)
The second game of the day proved to fall in the Big Blue's favor once again. Millikin got off to a hot start to put the game out of reach for the Blueboys.
Jacob Smith suffered the loss at the mound pitching 1.1 innings.
IC will begin conference play on the road facing Cornell College in a doubleheader on Saturday, 3/25 at 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM.
