NASHVILLE – Zach Frey pitched a complete game gem as he helped No. 3 seed Indiana State stave off elimination as the Sycamores defeated Presbyterian 9-2 Saturday in the NCAA Nashville Regional at Hawkins Field.
Entering the elimination game, Frey held career highs in strikeouts and innings pitched from Indiana State's 2019 NCAA run against Vanderbilt when the right-hander pitched five innings and struck out five Commodores.
Frey (1-1) destroyed those career highs against Presbyterian, pitching the complete game while retiring 10 Blue Hose batters on punchouts. The Bloomington, Ill., native tied his high for strikeouts through the first four innings and continued to pound the zone late.
