Baseball Scatters 13 hits in 12-5 victory over Milwaukee Tuesday

The Flames close out the month of March victorious

CHICAGO – The UIC baseball team (8-17-1, 3-3 MVC) picked up a midweek win at Curtis Granderson Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, defeating Milwaukee 12-5 behind a 13-hit performance.
After a scoreless top of the first from the Panthers, UIC quickly got its first run on the board when junior Thomas Curry hit an RBI double, scoring junior Lucas Smith. The Panthers couldn't respond in the next inning; after starting pitcher Jared Lessman struck out five of the six batters he faced before the graduate student was pulled after two innings of work.

Curry came back to the batter's box in the top of the third and crushed a 0-2 pitch 103 MPH off the bat for his second home run of the season. In the following inning, UIC tacked on four more runs behind a pair of two-run home runs off the bats of juniors Jake Busson and Ashton Kampa in the fourth.

The Panthers wouldn't go down without a fight, plating five runs in the top of the fifth to cut UIC's lead to one run. Senior Colin Husko added UIC a second insurance run in the bottom of the sixth, scoring on a ground out off the bat of Curry to give the Flames a 7-5 lead entering the later innings.

The game broke open in favor of UIC when the Flames scoring five runs after the seventh inning stretch with RBI hits from Husko, Smith, Curry and Kampa. Behind the work on the mound from freshmen Aidan Terronez, Charlie Taczy and graduate student Mark Eddie, the Panthers didn't score a run in the later innings, securing a Flames' victory.
