NORMAL, Ill. – Indiana State's 2025 baseball season came to an end on Tuesday night at Duffy Bass Field as the No. 8 Sycamores fell to the No. 5 Illinois State Redbirds, 14-4, in an elimination game at the Missouri Valley Baseball Championships.
On a day plagued by weather delays that pushed the original 2:30 p.m. ET start time back to an 8:30 p.m. ET start, the Sycamores (24-31) jumped on Redbirds' starting pitcher Tyrelle Chadwick (6-3) early as Carlos Pena opened the game with a leadoff solo home run over the right field wall.
