DES MOINES, Iowa – A two-run home run by Jordan de los Reyes sealed Illinois State's series sweep of the Drake University softball team with a 10-2 win in five innings on Saturday afternoon at Buel Field.
Illinois State (22-17, 12-3 MVC), the Missouri Valley Conference leader, took the first inning lead after two runners reached base on a pair of errors by the Bulldogs. A sacrifice fly allowed both of the Redbirds to advance before back-to-back singles gave Illinois State the 3-0 lead after one inning.
Drake (20-23, 3-12 MVC) answered in the second inning with a pair of runs.
