Titan Baseball Loses 7-5 to Redbirds in Horenberger-Bass Classic

NORMAL, Ill. -- The Illinois Wesleyan baseball team lost, 7-5, at Division I Illinois State in the 10th Horenberger-Bass Classic, played at Duffy Bass Field on Wednesday, April 12.

The Titans are 14-8 overall while the Redbirds improved to 10-21. Illinois State leads the Horenberger-Bass Classic series, 8-2, and has an 87-70 advantage in the all-time series dating back to 1890.

Offensively, Illinois Wesleyan's recent large outbursts was slowed on Wednesday as IWU managed just eight hits with no extra base hits. Sophomore Stephen Billington, starting at shortstop for the ailing Jarrod Juskiewicz, and sophomore leftfielder John Bosco each had two singles for the Titans. Billington also provided two RBI.

Starting pitcher Mike Plecki (1-1), the first of six IWU hurlers, took the loss, going the first three innings and allowing five runs (three earned) on five hits.

What's Next?
Illinois Wesleyan has a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin doubleheader at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 14, against North Park.
