Baseball Cruises to Series Opening Win Over Illinois State Friday

Flames use strong offense, stellar pitching to dominate Redbirds

NORMAL, Ill. – The UIC baseball team (17-29, 13-9 MVC) opened a critical three-game series at Illinois State (22-25, 11-11 MVC) on Friday, with the Flames holding a one-game advantage over the Redbirds in the MVC standings coming in to the game.
 
UIC wasted no time jumping out to an early advantage, striking for two runs in the opening half inning on a James Harris two-RBI double to left center field. David Cox notched his own RBI double an inning later, giving UIC the 3-0 lead headed to the third inning.
 
The Flames blew the game open in the third inning, plating three more runs highlighted by a two-RBI single from Jackson Bessette and an RBI double from Cox.
 
Dillon Schueler was outstanding for his third straight start, not allowing an earned run over seven innings and striking out a season-high 10 on the night.
 
The Flames added a pair of insurance runs in the top of the eighth on a Thomas Curry double, and despite a trio of Redbirds runs in the ninth, UIC cruised to a series-opening 8-3 victory.
