Baseball Drops Regular Season Finale

Titans finish third in CCIW standings

BLOOMINGTON, ILL. -  The Illinois Wesleyan University baseball team celebrated its senior today, May 4, at Jack Horenberger Field, against College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin foe North Park University. The Titans dropped the game, 15-2, and dipped to 23-15 and 12-8 in the CCIW. The Vikings move to 28-11, 16-4 in the league to earn a share of the CCIW Regular Season Championship and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming tournament.

North Park scored in the first three innings to take control, 9-0, and never looked back. 

Junior Jimmy Gurgone (Mokena, Ill.-St. Laurence) and sophomore Tommy Willard (Downers Grove, Ill.-Downers Grove South) each picked up RBIs in the loss. IWU's eight hits were spread evenly among eight players, while NPU finished with 15 hits, four of which were for extra bases.

On the mound it was a rotation for the Titans that saw seven players throw throughout the game. Senior Josh Ralston (Frankfort, Ill.-Lincoln-Way East) took the loss as the pitcher of record.

The Titans will be the No. 3 seed in the CCIW Tournament, which will be held May 8-11, at North Park University. IWU will square off against either Augustana or Carthage depending on the outcome of today's doubleheader in Rock Island, Ill. The game will take place Wednesday, May 8 as game two of the tournament. Times are yet to be determined.
