Carthage Takes Rubber Match Against Illinois Wesleyan 6-3

KENOSHA, Wis. — The Carthage baseball team claimed game three of their series with Illinois Wesleyan on Monday afternoon at Augie Schmidt Field with a 6-3 victory.

While the visitors struck first in the top of the second inning, Carthage (11-8, 6-6 CCIW) retook the lead in the third with back-to-back RBI singles from Jake Cinelli and Cody Phelps. The Firebirds would add two more in the third frame off a dropped third strike and wild pitch to take a 4-1 lead, before plating one more in the following inning. After Illinois Wesleyan (11-11, 6-8 CCIW) scored in the sixth, Carthage responded in the bottom of the inning with a single by Ben Levicki that brought in Colton Klein. The Firebirds would go on to win and move to .500 at home and in conference play, with each record sitting at 6-6.
