Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Monmouth ran their win streak to seven with a 15-5, 12-9 sweep Thursday at Illinois College.
 
The Scots banged out 15 hits in the opener and used another late-inning surge to put the game away. Leading 7-2 in the top of the seventh, Harry Sanchez delivered a two-run double to collect his first two of four RBIs in the game and trigger the Scots' four-run inning. Sanchez knocked in another run in the eighth and one more for good measure in the ninth to earn Tyler McDonald his third win of the season.
 
Ridge Greenman earned the Game 2 win as Sanchez, Austin Hardy and Nic Stevens drove in two runs each. Monmouth used a big inning early to set the tone, pushing five runs across the plate to take a 5-2 lead.
 
IC fought back after trailing 9-6 entering the bottom of the fifth. The Blue Boys batted around scoring three runs with two outs to knot the game at 9-9.
 
Monmouth had a quick answer, scoring three runs of their own in the top of the sixth with two out. After Bryson Sheppard opened the inning with a double and sacrificed to third, Ryan Sparks milked a two-out walk to set up Jake Starkey's run-scoring double for a 10-9 lead. Hardy then delivered his two-run, two-out double for the 12-9 win.
 
The Scots will host the Blue Boys on Sunday in Monmouth's home season finale. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but the forecast for rain Saturday caused the game to be pushed back a day.
