Sycamores offense connects on season-high 21 hits in 14-2 win over Bradley

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Indiana State offense exploded for a season-high 21 hits and scored 14 runs as the Sycamores topped visiting Bradley on Friday night, 14-2, in the first game of the three-game Missouri Valley series.
 
The Sycamores (25-7, 8-2) jumped out to a 5-0 lead through the first two innings courtesy of Luis Hernandez's early three-run home run in support of starter Jared Spencer as Indiana State took control of the game against Bradley (10-20, 4-6) early.
 
Ryan Vogel connected on a two-run home run for the Braves offense in the top of the fifth inning, but the Sycamores continued to strike throughout the lineup with eight players posting multi-hit efforts in the win. Randal Diaz capped the night with a walk-off three-run home run with one out in the eighth inning to secure the run-rule victory at Bob Warn Field.
 
Diaz, Dominic Listi, Luis Hernandez, Adam Pottinger, and Joe Kido all posted three-hit games on Friday night as the Indiana State recorded at least one hit in seven of the eighth innings against the Braves. Parker Stinson, Grant Magill, and Josue Urdaneta also added two-hit games as the Sycamores picked up their second eight-inning run-rule win of the 2024 season.
 
Listi, Hernandez, Stinson, Kido, and Magill all doubled in the win, while Hernandez and Diaz both homered to highlight seven extra-base hits on the day. Hernandez added his second five-RBI day of the 2024 season, while Diaz drove in a season-high four runs in the win.
 
Spencer went a career-high 4.1 innings on the mound as the Centreville, Mich. native recorded his second start of the 2024 season. The left-hander allowed three hits and two runs while striking out a career-high eight batters in taking the no-decision.
 
Cam Edmonson (5-0) went the final 3.2 innings in relief for the Sycamores striking out six while allowing four hits in the winning effort.
 
Vogel and Timmy O'Brien combined for four of Bradley's seven hits in the loss with Vogel's two-run home run in the fifth the Braves' lone extra-base hit.
 
Noah Edders (4-4) took the loss going 3.1 innings allowing 12 hits and seven runs, while Jack Stellano and Theo Zeidler closed out the game on the mound.
