Bullpen meltdown leads to loss

Coach Ken Henderson argues a double play call that ended the sixth inning on April 19, 2015, at Itchy Jones Stadium. Despite arguing the call, the Salukis still led 7-3 over Illinois State University after six innings of play. The Salukis defeated Illinois State 9-7, bringing their record to 9-31 for the season.

The Dawgs fell behind in the fifth inning after sophomore pitcher Michael Baird walked the leadoff batter and gave up a single and suicide squeeze bunt in his last inning of work. Senior Colton Selvey would take over in the sixth and gave up two more runs to push the deficit to 4-0.
