Indiana State Grabs 3-1 Win to Close Rebel Games

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Indiana State softball team earned a 3-1 win over Bryant on Thursday at the Rebel Games, improving their tournament run to 5-2 this week. With the victory, the Sycamores jumped up to 10-5 on the season.

Lindsey Beisser earned the complete-game win for ISU, scattering five hits and striking out six while walking two. Bryant's Samantha Houseal took the loss over six innings of work, over which she gave up five hits and three runs.

Sophomore Alyssa Marcum finished 2-for-3 on the day, while Beisser, MacKenzie Connelly and Stephanie Robinson each tallied a hit.

ISU jumped out early, scoring in the first inning with two outs. Alyssa Marcum singled to left, and Bailey Wittenauer drew a walk, followed by a Beisser double to center to score Marcum. Connelly then sent a single to left, scoring Wittenauer and putting the Sycamores up 2-0.

Bryant responded in the top of the fifth, plating one run by Lindsay Martin. ISU added an insurance run in the bottom of the inning, as Robinson started off with a single to center. Alyssa Doyle then sacrifice bunted, and Marcum singled to bring Robinson across.

Indiana State's final game of the day against Wagner was cancelled due to rain, while Friday's matchups with South Dakota and LaSalle were also rained out. The Sycamores return to action in their home opener at Price Field on Wednesday, March 17, hosting SEMO in a doubleheader at 3 p.m.
