GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Illinois State combined for 17 hits in two games against No. 3 Florida and Florida A&M on Saturday. In the Redbirds' 10-2 setback to the Gators, ISU registered seven hits – the most against Florida in the 15-game series history, while its two runs scored matched a series high against the Gators.
The Redbirds bounced back versus the Rattlers, reaching double-digit hits (10) for the second time this season to take the 6-3 victory over Florida A&M. Alyssa Wiebel's grand slam marked the second one of the season for the junior, joining ISU alums Jordan de los Reyes (2015), Laura Canopy (2013) and Jhavon Hamilton (2013) on the list of Redbirds to have hit a pair of grand slams in a single season over the last six years.
