Sycamores set NCAA, Indiana State records with 36-6 win over Wagner

GASTONIA, N.C. – Indiana State's bats exploded with a 20-run third inning as the Sycamores secured the series with a 36-6 win over Wagner on Sunday afternoon at CaroMont Health Park.
 
The Sycamores (2-1) held a 5-0 lead through the first two innings courtesy of Nick Sutherlin and Carlos Pena two-run home runs and a Thomas Emerich RBI double, before taking control of the game with one out in the third. The Sycamores had 21 consecutive batters reach base with all nine Indiana State players in the lineup either recording a hit, scoring a run, or driving in a run during the inning.
 
The 20-run frame marked the most runs scored in the third inning by an NCAA Division I team according to the NCAA Baseball Record book, breaking the previous mark of 19 runs set by Clemson back on March 21, 1998, in the third inning against Maryland.
 
Jorge Cartagena started the third-inning rally with a double to left field, before Keegan Garis drew a walk. Eli Gipson brought home the Sycamores' first run of the inning with an RBI single scoring Cartagena to open the onslaught of runs. Jeremy Martinez (RBI double), Emerich (two-run single), Carter Beck (RBI single), Sutherlin (RBI walk), Cartagena (RBI walk), Garis (two-run double), Gipson (two-run single), Beck (two-run single), Weston Fulk (RBI single), Cartagena (RBI walk), and Garis (two-run double) provided the runs over the inning as Indiana State built an early 25-0 lead through three innings.
 
The Sycamores added 10 more runs in the fifth inning. Sixteen batters went to the plate over the inning with Cartagena and Martinez connecting on three-run home runs to give Indiana State a 35-1 lead. Alex Nevils added an RBI single in the sixth to put the cap on the Sycamores' 36 runs in the contest.
 
Freshman right-hander Ty Brooks (1-0) was the beneficiary of the Indiana State offense. The Milford, Ind. native carried a no-hitter into the fourth inning on his way to allowing four hits and two runs (one earned) while striking out four in his first collegiate win.
 
Garis and Martinez both recorded a team-high four hits as Indiana State tied a school record with 29 hits in Sunday's contest. Cartagena and Martinez both drove in five RBIs apiece, while Sutherlin and Garis both scored five runs each in the win.
 
Garis (two), Martinez (two), Pena, Sutherlin, Cartagena, and Emerich all doubled, while Pena, Sutherlin, Cartagena, and Martinez added home runs as the Sycamores connected on 12 extra-base hits in the series finale.
 
Aaron Moss, Cole Chace, Colby Morse, and Cole Pacheco combined to go the final 4.0 innings on the mound to close out the Sycamores' win. Chace recorded his first collegiate strikeout over a scoreless seventh-inning, while Morse and Pacheco made their Indiana State debuts on the mound.
 
Colin Trizuto (0-1) took the loss on the mound for Wagner (1-2) after going 2.0 innings allowing four hits and five runs (three earned). Overall, 10 different Seahawks pitchers saw time on the mound on Sunday afternoon.
 
Bryce Phelps led Wagner's offense with three of the Seahawks' 12 hits in the loss. Diego Taverez and Phelps both doubled, while Jeffrey Delamota drove in two RBIs.
