Five Sycamores homer as Indiana State tops Indiana in midweek 15-7 win

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State's offense combined for five home runs and Cam Edmonson shut down the Indiana bats in an extended relief appearance as the Sycamores topped the visiting Hoosiers on Tuesday afternoon at Bob Warn Field, 15-7.
 
Randal Diaz, Luis Hernandez, Parker Stinson, Mike Sears, and Adam Pottinger all homered on Tuesday as the Sycamores (15-4) improved to 2-0 inside the friendly confines of The Bob in their final tune-up before the start of Missouri Valley play this weekend. Sears added a three-run double on his way to a six-RBI contest in powering ISU to the win.
 
The Sycamores overcame an early 6-0 deficit scoring three runs in the third and fifth innings, before erupting for a seven-run sixth inning to win their second consecutive home game against the Hoosiers (11-10) dating back to last season.
 
Indiana took the early lead taking advantage of a pair of Sycamore fielding miscues including a fly ball single that fell in the infield sparking a three-run second inning. Jake Stadler added a two-run single in the top of the third inning to give IU an early 6-0 lead.
 
The Sycamores steadily chipped away at the IU advantage with Hernandez (two-run HR) and Stinson (solo HR) connecting on back-to-back home runs to get on the board in the bottom of the third inning. ISU tied the game up on Sears' three-run shot over the scoreboard in right center in the bottom of the fifth, before sending 10 batters to the plate in the sixth inning scoring seven runs highlighted by Sears' three-run double and Pottinger's two-run home run to go ahead 13-7.
 
The run support benefited Edmonson (2-0) as the redshirt senior left-hander quelled the IU bats during the middle part of the game. Edmonson entered the game with two on, none out in the top of the third inning and gave up Stadler's two-run single before retiring the next three batters to escape the early jam.
 
He retired six of seven batters at one point and ended his 4.0-inning stint on the mound retiring the final three IU hitters he faced before turning the ball over the Zach Davidson in the seventh.
 
After ISU's seven-run frame in the sixth, Davidson took the mound in the top of the seventh and retired all nine batters he faced. The senior left-hander recorded a pair of strikeouts in recording his second save of the season.
 
Dominic Listi, Hernandez, Stinson, and Sears all posted multi-hit games on Tuesday afternoon as the Sycamores connected on 13 hits in the win. Both Stinson and Hernandez were hit by two pitches apiece, while Sears posted his first three-hit game of 2024.
 
Cole Gilley took the no-decision for the Sycamores allowing six hits and five runs over 2.0-innings of work. His time on the mound was marred by an infield popup that fell leading to a big Indiana inning. He added four strikeouts in his first collegiate start.
 
Devin Taylor paced Indiana going 3-for-5 from the plate with a pair of RBIs as the Hoosier offense was limited to 10 singles in the game. Nick Mitchell added two hits and scored twice, while Carter Mathison added a pair of runs in the loss.
 
Brayden Risedorph (0-3) took the loss on the mound going 1.1 innings allowing four hits and six runs while striking out two in a relief appearance. Overall, eight IU pitchers saw time on the mound on Tuesday afternoon.
