Baseball Drops Series to Millikin on Sunday

DECATUR, Ill. -- The North Park baseball team dropped game three at Millikin University on Sunday, 10-7.

Millikin took a 3-0 lead early on two run scoring singles and an RBI groundout before North Park's Ranko Stevanovic drove his fourth extra-base hit in two games with an opposite field homer in the fourth inning.

The Vikings added runs in the fifth on a wild pitch and a Big Blue error, to tie the game, before freshman Alex DiVito delivered a big two-run single into right field to give the Vikings a 5-3 lead.

However, Millikin responded with seven runs in their next two trips to the plate.

The Vikings closed the gap in the eighth when Justin Swanson drove an RBI triple to center field and plated another run on a Big Blue infield error, but it would not be enough. Millikin held on, 10-7.


Quick Hits:

  • Swanson, Stevanovic, Zach Lingk, and Reece Arakaki all collect two hits
  • DiVito led NPU with a 3-for-5 day, two RBI
  • Extra base hits for Lingk (2B), Swanson (3B), and Stevanovic (HR)


What's Next?

North Park (8-14, 2-2 CCIW) will make the short drive to River Forest to take on Concordia (IL). First pitch is set for 3pm.
