Sycamores fall behind early in Saturday afternoon loss to the Tigers

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Pacific took advantage of a trio of home runs and strong pitching from starter Adan Perez as Indiana State fell behind early in dropping the Saturday afternoon contest to the visiting Tigers, 14-2, in eight innings.
 
The Tigers (10-10) utilized JT Waldon, Kordell Brown, and Jake Tandy home runs in the first two innings on their way to building a 7-0 lead early at Bob Warn Field. The Sycamores (8-11) battled back in the middle frames with an RBI single from Eli Gipson and Carter Beck's solo home run, but Indiana State was unable to put together a sustained rally in the run-rule shortened game.
 
Gipson recorded two of Indiana State's five hits in the contest, while Carlos Pena and Keegan Garis both doubled to highlight the Sycamore offense. Beck's home run, his fourth of the season and second of the weekend, went over the tree line in right field in the fifth inning.
 
Colby Morse (2-1) took his first loss of the season allowing seven runs and seven hits while striking out one over 1.2 innings. Carson Seeman went 3.1 strong innings in relief with a season-high five strikeouts, while Jack Armstrong added 2.0 shutout frames with four strikeouts prior to a 1:15 lighting and weather delay at Bob Warn Field. Brady Banker, Wes Lyerly, and Caden Schrader also saw time on the mound in the loss.
 
The top four batters in the Pacific lineup combined for 11 of the team's 15 hits, 10 RBIs, and eight runs, while Brown added a three-run home run at the bottom of the order as a part of the Tigers' power display at the plate. Tandy went 4-for-5 from the plate with three runs and a pair of RBIs to standout at the plate.
 
Perez (4-0) went 5.0 innings, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out seven in his fourth win of the season. Josh Souza worked 2.0 scoreless frames, while Justin Iglesias worked a scoreless eighth inning to close out the contest.
