MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Golden Gophers evened up their series with the Indiana State baseball team on Saturday, scoring twice in the third inning and once in the seventh to earn a 3-0 shutout victory inside the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.

Minnesota's Ben Meyer threw the complete game shutout, fanning 11 ISU batters while allowing five hits and no walks. Senior Devin Moore started for Indiana State and took the loss, allowing two runs on five hits over six innings with six strikeouts. Junior Kurt Kudrecki pitched the final two innings for ISU, allowing one run on two hits with two strikeouts.

The Golden Gophers (12-7) got their first baserunner against Moore in the third inning, coming on a one-out single by Bobby Juan.
