Youngstown State's winning streak ends

CHICAGO -- Illinois-Chicago scored its fourth unearned run of the game on a walk-off single and error in the bottom of the ninth to defeat Youngstown State 5-4 Friday at Les Miller Field.
The loss was YSU's (9-12, 3-1) first in the Horizon League and ended its five-game winning streak.
Penguins starter Lucas Engle had a solid outing, allowing just one earned run on nine hits while striking out five in eight innings.
Josh Page and Anthony Munoz had two hits apiece, and Mike Turjanica hit his second career home run for the Penguins.
The Flames (9-12, 2-2) scored one run in five different innings, and the Penguins had at least one error in four of those frames.
Chris Rutta was hit by a pitch with one out in the ninth and stole second to get the Flames going. Reliever Andy Svitak fanned Chad Schroeder for the second out, but he walked Nick Rainwater to put runners on first and second. Larry Gempp Jr. then singled through the left side, and Rutta came around to score on Tom Clayton's error in left.
The Flames got a run in the fourth on two errors and a wild pitch to go up 1-0. Ben Trotter hit a leadoff single and advanced to third on a wild pitch and a throwing error by catcher Dustin Wachter. Trotter then scored in the next at bat on Engle's throwing error on Micky Pingree's come-backer.
Penguins tie game
YSU tied it on an unearned run in the fifth when Josh Page scored from first on Dustin Wachter's single to center and an error, but the Flames got an unearned run in the bottom of the inning to make the score 2-1.
Erich Diedrich hit a one-out single to center in the sixth to extend his hitting streak to 15 games, and Turjanica followed with a pinch-hit home run to put YSU ahead 3-2.
After Trotter led off the bottom of the sixth with a home run, the Penguins reclaimed the lead in the seventh when Anthony Munoz singled home Wachter.
UIC tied the game at 4-4 when Chad Schroeder scored on Gempp Jr.'s infield single and an error by Munoz at short.
Diedrich's 15-game hitting streak is the longest for any YSU player since Kellen Dixon's school-record 24-game streak in 2001.
UIC starter Zach Peterson allowed all four runs, two of which were unearned, on 10 hits in 7 1/3 innings. Reliever David Cales earned his first win by throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
