Sycamores rally past Dallas Baptist on Friday night

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Parker Stinson connected on the go-ahead two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning and Connor Fenlong shut the door on Dallas Baptist on Friday night as Indiana State secured the series win over the Patriots with the 11-10 win.
 
Senior Day: Indiana State will recognize seniors Jordan Schaffer, Aaron Beck, Jake Ridgway, Raine Richter, Sean Ross, and Jack Parisi in a pregame ceremony at Bob Warn Field prior to the 11 a.m. ET first pitch. The ceremony is scheduled to take place around 10:40 a.m., so come early to honor the six seniors in their final collegiate home game.
 
Trailing 10-9 after six innings, the Sycamores (25-20, 10-10 MVC) mounted their final comeback of the day in the bottom of the seventh as Joe Kido led off the inning with a base hit to centerfield. The redshirt sophomore stole second base to move into scoring position before DBU (33-20, 11-9) reliever Kyle Amendt (0-1) retired Luis Hernandez to put the first out on the board.
 
Stinson followed by jumping on the first pitch he saw and driving the ball over the tree line beyond the right field fence for his third home run of the season and giving the Sycamores the 11-10 lead.
 
Fenlong (S, 5) entered in relief of Jared Spencer (2-3) in the top of the eighth and allowed just one batter on base the rest of the way, striking out four on the way to his fifth save of the year.
 
Jordan Schaffer paced the Sycamores with a three-hit game, while Keegan Watson homered for the second time in as many nights as Indiana State wrapped out 13 hits in the win. Seth Gergely added his third triple of the year and Josue Urdaneta connected on a two-run double as Indiana State secured the season series against DBU with the win.
 
Spencer pitched a scoreless seventh inning on the way to picking up the win and leading a Sycamore pitching effort that saw eight different players take the mound on Friday night. Jake Ridgway drew the start, while Raine Richter, Brennyn Cutts, Matt Gauer, Joey Hurth, and Jack Parisi all saw time on the mound in the ISU win.
 
Miguel Santos connected on three of DBU's six home runs in the game, while Jace Grady homered twice to highlight his four-hit game as DBU utilized the long ball in the contest. Nate Rombach also homered in the Patriot loss.
 
DBU starter Chandler Arnold allowed seven hits and seven runs (six earned) while striking out eight over 4.1 innings of work. Amendt went 2.1 innings in taking the loss, while Zach Heaton and Connor Mackey also saw time on the rubber on Friday.
