CHARLESTON, S.C. -  Indiana State baseball scored three runs in the seventh inning to rally back to take the series finale with The Citadel Sunday afternoon at Joe Riley Park en route to the teams' sixth-straight win and second weekend sweep of the season.
 
Jarrod Watkins led the Sycamores with a 3-for-5 day at the plate, scoring a pair of runs and driving one in while Max Wright went 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
 
During the first two games of the series, Indiana State (11-5) went on top early in the game, but Bulldog starting pitcher Alex Bialakis (2-1) was strong from the start, limiting the Sycamore offense and getting out of an early bases-loaded jam to keep the Trees off the board.
 
Bialakis was able to work with an early lead as The Citadel (8-11) struck for a run in the second inning to take the early lead. The Bulldogs added another run in the sixth on a pair of hits in the inning.
 
Indiana State starter Tristan Weaver battled early in the game, working through a couple tough innings while limiting the opportunities for The Citadel. Weaver would be picked up by the ISU offense in the seventh as CJ Huntley jumpstarted the rally with his first home run of the 2018 campaign on a shot to right field to cut the Sycamore deficit to 2-1.
 
Sophomore Max Wright would score the game-tying run later in the inning after Jarrod Watkins doubled to right-center. That was when the Sycamores went to the bench in redshirt senior Dane Giesler. In his first at bat of the weekend, Giesler sent a ball over the second baseman, scoring Watkins to put the Trees on top.
 
Clay Dungan would add the insurance runs Indiana State needed in the ninth inning after The Citadel loaded the bases. Dungan came to the plate 0-4 with three strikeouts before sending a liner into left field, scoring two runs.
 
Weaver went seven complete innings, allowing just one earned run and striking out three batters, improving to 2-1 on the year. Right-hander Ethan Larrison closed out his fifth game of the season after tossing two innings and striking out one.
 
Indiana State will close out a four-game road swing Tuesday afternoon at Eastern Illinois. First pitch is set for 4 p.m. ET from Coaches Stadium in Charleston.
