LOUISVILLE – It took 29 innings in four games against Louisville, but the Sycamores finally came out on top in yet another close dogfight in an 8-6 extra-inning victory over the Cardinals in ISU's Red & Black Tournament finale on Sunday afternoon.
Indiana State (8-6) kept battling back in what turned out to be another tug-of-war with Louisville (12-7), but a three-run eighth inning and a shutdown performance by Della Gher (1-0) in the final frame pushed the Sycamores to victory.
"We knew coming in that the game was going to be a close one, that we were going to have to fight every pitch every inning until the end," said senior Mary Turitto.
