With the regular season winding down, college baseball coaches are getting their teams prepared for the postseason.
A non-conference game between the University of Illinois Springfield and Benedictine University of Springfield at UIS Athletic Field on Tuesday gave them a tune-up before the final push through conference play.
UIS won 12-1 in eight innings. It was the first meeting between the teams since 2011 when the Stars won 6-3 in their inaugural season.
A trio of seniors powered the Stars at the plate. Infielder Nick Sanders went 2-for-5 with four RBIs. Infielder Blake Baker scored three runs, hit a double and had a RBI. Outfielder Adam Unes went 2-for-4 with a double.
The Prairie Stars (23-18) have nine games left before the postseason gets underway.
The win was featured by The State Journal-Register on April 23, 2014.
