Thunder baseball team wins weekend series over Elmhurst thanks to Saturday sweep

Carol Stream, Ill. — After suffering a setback in Elmhurst last night, the Wheaton baseball team returned to Lee Pfund Stadium this afternoon for a doubleheader against the Bluejays to decide their regular season series. Elmhurst looked to be headed for the series victory in the first game on Saturday, but a dramatic late rally by the Thunder allowed them to force a determining game three. Wheaton blew its local rival away in the second part of today's twinbill to earn a come-from-behind series win and improve to 3-11 in conference action. Additionally, the Thunder moved above today's opponent in the CCIW standings thanks to the pair of victories on Saturday.
