CONWAY, S.C. — Jalin McMillan hit his first career collegiate home run for Illinois baseball Sunday, but the Illini concluded the Coastal Carolina Invitational with a 12-4 defeat to host Coastal Carolina.
McMillan homered in the seventh inning ahead of an RBI double from Anthony Drago, and the Illini (6-7) recorded their other two runs in the fourth on a Mark Skonieczny RBI groundout and a Jack Yalowitz RBI double.
But the Chanticleers (9-7) jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Illinois’ Andrew Mamlic (2-2) and added four more runs in the eighth inning to put the game out of reach.
