After 5 in B'town: Augie 8, IWU 3. Augie committed a big no-no in the bottom of the fifth - walking two men with Kevin Callahan coming up! He made 'em pay with a 3-run tater, but it may be too-little, too-late.

Augie leads off the 6th with a triple and RBI single, now up 9-3. The Vikes have 14 hits, the Titans 2.

Mr. Ypsi · April 28, 2012, 04:17:30 PM

Dang - missed opportunity!

Bottom of the 7th, bases loaded with 1 out - DP.

Still 9-3 after 7.

Carthage trails Millikin 2-1 in the 9th...

Final from Decatur: Millikin 2, Carthage 1. When was the last time the Big Blue defeated Carthage?

Millikin beats Carthage 2-1 in game 1. This is rock-bottom for me as a Carthage fan. What a $h!++y season:(

UGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Callahan with another 3-run bomb, his 2nd of the doubleheader. This one puts the Titans up 3-1 in the 3rd.

Wheaton takes care of business and finishes out the series sweep over NCC. They've put themselves in a position to really have a shot at the tourney.

What's really crazy is that if Augie wins game 2 today against IWU, and Elmhurst splits with NPU tomorrow... we could have a 4 way tie for 2nd going into the last weekend... with Elmhurst, Augie, Wheaton, and IWU all being tied at 10-8 in CCIW play. Wheaton is at a clear disadvantage because they've lost the series to all 3 of those teams. What a finish next weekend will be regardless of what happens this weekend! It appears that Augie will lock up a tourney spot with a 2nd win this afternoon, having Millikin in the last series. It's possible that Wheaton might end up having to sweep Carthage to get in, something I'm not sure they've ever done. Even though they could be tied for 2nd in the conference after this weekend, record wise.

The CCIW site is reporting TWO 2-1 victories for Millikin over Carthage. Misprint, or unbelievable truth?

Misprint. According to live stats, Carthage is up 7-5 in the 5th inning of game 2.

If North Park splits with Elmhurst tomorrow, the Vikings will be 11-7 and Elmhurst will be 10-8.

Great game going on in Bloomington, Augie came back to tie the game at 3. IWU got a man on 2nd with none out in the bottom of the 9th but come up empty. Heading to the 10th tied at 3.
