CHICAGO, Ill. – MATC baseball had its five-game winning streak snapped during its road doubleheader Sunday against South Suburban, where the Stormers managed to earn a split after taking the second game in dominant fashion.

MATC's offense was stifled in the opener, totaling just three combined hits in an 5-0 loss before bouncing back to in Game 2 to earn a 15-6 victory. The series split moved the Stormers to 19-14 overall, including an 8-7 road record.

"Getting a split against a really good South Suburban team made for a great day," MATC head coach Caleb Bounds said. "Our offense made great adjustments after Game 1 and provided the pitching staff with a ton of support.

"We had multiple batters step up in big moments and be clutch in the game," Bounds added. "I think we scored 11 runs with two outs. That was the most impressive stat of the day."
