TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State softball finished off their fall slate of games with a sweep of their doubleheader against Wabash Valley College.

The Sycamores won game one 19-0 which included a 16-run fifth inning. Game two was a 14-4 victory to complete the sweep.

"The offense was clicking for us. It's good to see our hitters' string quality at-bats together. Our pitchers were able to work out of some jams early on and the defense made some crucial plays behind them. I thought the team played with a lot of energy which helps make us better," Head coach Mike Perniciaro said.

The games were played at Terre Haute South High School due to ongoing renovations at Price Field.
