Sycamores Fall to Drake in Doubleheader Opener

DES MOINES, Iowa – Bailey Martin doubled in the fourth inning but Indiana State stranded the only two baserunners the Sycamores put aboard in a 10-0, 5-inning loss at Drake in the first game of a Missouri Valley Conference doubleheader Saturday.
 
Indiana State's only threat came in the fourth as the Sycamores (11-19, 1-6) put two runners on with Martin's double followed by Shaye Barton getting hit by a pitch. But back-to-back strikeouts ended the threat, preventing a State score. ISU would not put another runner on base the remainder of the game.
 
Drake (20-13, 6-1) powered its way to 10 runs on 12 hits in the game with seven of those 10 runs coming in the first two innings. The Bulldogs were led by Kennedy Frank's 3-for-3 day at the plate with three RBI and two runs scored.
 
Abbey Kruzel (0-4) was charged with the loss after allowing six runs on five hits while walking two. Nicole Newman (12-6) claimed the complete game shutout win with one hit allowed while striking out 13.
 
PLAYER OF THE GAME
Bailey Martin gets the nod after she drove a double to the wall in right center. That broke up a no-hitter by Drake pitcher Nicole Newman and ended a string of 31 consecutive putouts.
 
STAT OF THE GAME
By getting plunked by a pitch in the fourth inning, Shaye Barton recorded her 20th career hit by pitch. That ranks fifth all-time at Indiana State.
