Pitching Trio Leads Baseball to Shutout of Sam Houston State

Mason Lei, Mark Eddie and Zack Millsap lead the Flames to a 2-0 victory.

HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS – The UIC baseball team (2-3, 0-0 MVC) opened its three-game series against Sam Houston (3-2, 0-0 CUSUA) with a three-pitcher shut-out, defeating the Bearkats 2-0 at Don Saunders Stadium Friday night.

After two scoreless innings in a pitcher's duel between junior Mason Lei and Sam Houston's Ryan Peterson, the Flames broke through in the top of the third. Freshman Sean Cody scored when senior Will Smoot reached on a ground ball that was mishandled by Bearkats infielder Sean Bazmore. Later in the inning, senior Ashton Kampa drove in junior Lucas Smith with a groundout.

Lei was dominant from the outset, tossing 6 1/3 innings while allowing four hits, walking two and striking out 10. Graduate student Mark Eddie followed with 1 1/3 innings of relief, and Zack Millsap secured the final four outs for his second save of the season.
