TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Indiana State baseball team (23-13, 4-2 MVC) notched their second straight series win as they defeated Illinois State (9-25, 1-4 MVC) by the final score of 3-2 this afternoon. Freshman Tyler Ward picked up his fifth win of the season, junior Jeremy McKinney notched his fifth save of the year, and senior Andy DeJesus posted a flawless 4-for-4 performance at the plate.

Illinois State drew first blood for the third time this weekend when they scored one in the top of the third inning, but the Sycamores responded with DeJesus singling to left field and senior Andy Young homering for the fifth time this season to push ahead 2-1.
