The Sycamore offense did its part in the win, coming through with eight hits, including two insurance runs in the ninth inning that proved to be huge. Heading into the final inning with a 3-2 lead, Dane Giesler singled to leadoff the frame before Tony Rosselli, who pinch ran was able to come in on a Danny Camilo sacrifice fly for the first run. Brandt Nowaskie came up with his second hit of the night on an RBI single to left to extend the Sycamore lead to 5-2.
 
Austin Conway entered the game with two outs in the ninth, inducing the fly ball to record his fourth save of the season and securing the win for the Sycamores.
 
Indiana State tied the game at one in the third on a Clay Dungan RBI single that scored Nowaskie from third. The Sycamores would take the lead in the sixth on a Dungan RBI double which scored Dominic Bifano who reached to leadoff the inning. Dungan would be sent home in the very next at bat when Chris Ayers doubled to right-center.
 
The Sycamores came up with clutch at bats during the game, going 4-of-11 with runners on and 3-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
 
Dungan, Ayers and Nowaskie each came up with two hits each. Ayers doubled twice to go along with an RBI while Nowaskie doubled and drove in a run. Dungan recorded his third multi RBI game of the season finishing with two.
