MACON, Ga. - Indiana State baseball racked up a season-high 17 base hits Friday night at OrthoGeorgia Park as the Sycamores defeated Mercer, 12-7 in the series opener. With the victory ISU improved to 10-1 on the year and 8-1 on the road.
"I like the way we showed up to the park with focus. Obviously, we get off to a 7-0 lead but after that I just feel like we weren't sharp and we made some mistakes that we typically don't make," head coach Mitch Hannahs said after the game.
Six of the Sycamores 17 base hits were extra-base hits with three coming on doubles while ISU struck for a trio of home runs.
