Baseball Edges Out Purdue Tuesday Afternoon

The Flames Now Prepare for Their First Missouri Valley Conference Matchup

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The UIC baseball team (8-8) earned a road win Tuesday afternoon against Purdue. The Flames used three clutch ninth-inning pinch hit appearances to rally for a late victory. 
  • The Flames took control early on Tuesday, as Charlie Szykowny plated the game's first run, off a single from AJ Henkle that gave UIC a 1-0 lead.
  • A leadoff single from Jackson Bessette in the second inning, a walk from Cole Conn, and a fielder's choice off the bat of Zane Zielinski brought home another run, running the score to 2-0.
  • The Boilermakers responded in the bottom of the third inning, scoring three runs with two separate RBI singles, putting Purdue on top 3-2.
  • Jake Jarvis added a solo home run to right center field in the sixth inning, doubling the Purdue advantage to 4-2.
  • Clutch pinch hitting appearances in the ninth inning from Breck Nowik, Ryan Nagelbach, and Carson Roberts propeled the Flames to a 6-4 lead, capped off by a go-ahead RBI single from Roberts.


 
  • Matt Zahora earned the win in relief, and Peter Newton earned the save in his fourth appearance of the season, setting Purdue down in order in the bottom of the ninth.
