HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The Terriers were on the board in the top of the first inning as a pair of one-out singles and a fielder's choice left runners on the corners. An error by Illinois State's defense then allowed the first run of the game to cross the plate for Boston.
  • Illinois State had its first baserunner in the bottom of the second as Dayna Kennedy drew a leadoff walk.
