TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State turned a season-high three double plays but managed only two hits and committed two errors in a 5-0 loss to Southern Illinois in the first game of a Missouri Valley Conference doubleheader Saturday at Price Field.
The Sycamores (14-26, 2-13) stranded four base runners in the game, three of which were left in scoring position, but most of the opportunities came early in the game. Most notably the chances came in the third inning when a bases loaded situation was cut short by a double play turned by Southern Illinois (25-10, 10-4).
