CHICAGO, Ill. – The University of Chicago baseball team earned a walk-off win in extra innings in game one, but fell victim to a big inning in game two to split a doubleheader with Beloit College on Saturday.

The Maroons moved their season record to 5-16. The Buccaneers ran their mark to 12-9.

Game One – UChicago 4, Beloit 3 (10 innings)

Beloit got on the board first, tallying a two-run single in the third inning. UChicago tied the game at 2-2 in the fourth. A bases-loaded sacrifice fly by senior outfielder Ricky Troncelliti and an error brought in both runs.

Junior third baseman Andrew VanWazer poked a RBI single in the fifth to put the home team back in front at 3-2. Starting pitcher Alex Terry sailed through the Beloit lineup right up until the ninth inning, when the Bucs tied the game after a single. The senior departed with a pitching line of seven hits, three runs, two walks and three strikeouts in 8-1/3 innings of work.
