TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Indiana State baseball team saw their five-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday, as the visiting SIU Edwardsville Cougars scored three two-out runs over the sixth and seventh innings to claim a 6-3 victory on Bob Warn Field at Sycamore Stadium.

The Sycamores scored first on Wednesday, coming on the first of three hits of the game for senior Robby Ort. Redshirt senior Koby Kraemer singled with two outs in the opening inning, scoring on a double into the left-center by Ort for 1-0 ISU lead.

The Cougars came back for three runs in the top of the second inning, including a solo home run by Drew Johnson and a two-out two-run single by James Vazquez.

Ort drove in one run in each of his next two trips to the plate, scoring junior Cody Zimmerman with a one-out single to center in the third and plating Kraemer on a two-out double to right-center in the fifth to tie the game at 3-3.
