Sycamores Fall to Sacred Heart in Season Opener

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – An error in the second inning led to four unearned two-out runs as Indiana State dropped a 4-0 decision to Sacred Heart in the season opening game for the Sycamores at the Chattanooga Challenge.
 
The Sycamores (0-1) would continually threaten throughout the game, putting runners in scoring position in three of the last four innings, but couldn't push anyone across the plate and left 10 runners on base. Sacred Heart (1-0) also would threaten to add to its lead but couldn't push any more runs home. The Pioneers best chance came on a double steal attempt in the seventh but SHU's Lauren Delgadillo was thrown out at the plate.
 
Sacred Heart scored its first run on a fielding error by Leslie Sims with two outs in the second inning, allowing Jennie Boisvert to score. Kylee Harvey singled to right field in the next at bat, driving in two more runs before Delgadillo drove in the fourth and final run of the game with a double to left center.
 
Indiana State returns to action at 5 p.m. Friday afternoon as the Sycamores face the host Mocs of Chattanooga.

Della Gher was impressive in the circle in relief, striking out four and only allowing two hits in 5.0 innings.
 
STAT OF THE GAME
Indiana State threw out two of the three Sacred Heart runners attempting to steal in the game, including a play at the plate on a double steal attempt that ended the seventh inning for the Pioneers.
