Illinois Swept By Maryland in Saturday Doubleheader

The Illinois baseball team fell in both games of their doubleheader with Maryland on Saturday at Illinois Field. 

 

Trailing 5-1 in the ninth inning, the Illini loaded the bases. Jacob Campbell connected on a two-out, 2-run double off the wall in left field that nearly left the park. Campbell finished the game 2-for-3 with the double and two RBI.

 

The other run for the Illini came in the fourth inning on an RBI fielder's choice off the bat of Justin Janas.

 

The Illini got out to a 1-0 lead in the third inning after a two-out rally. Jackson Raper singled, Ryan Hampe walked and then Janas came up and lined an RBI single to right-center field. The Terrapins were able to take the lead in the top of the fourth and held it for the rest of the game.

 

Justin Janas has reached base safely in a career-high 16 games and Brody Harding has an eight-game on-base streak.

 

Maryland (21-14) took the series with both wins.
