Sycamores fall in Tuesday night slugfest at The Bob

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State was unable to keep pace in a slugfest on Tuesday night at Bob Warn Field as the Sycamores fell at home to visiting Indiana, 17-12, to split the season series against the Hoosiers.
 
Indiana State (18-19) jumped ahead early with a five-run first inning as the Sycamores connected on three home runs in the opening frame off the bats of Caden Miller, Nick Sutherlin, and Caleb Niehaus. The Hoosiers (15-21) responded from there with Indiana connecting on six home runs, including two from Caleb Koskie on their way to scoring in seven consecutive innings to avenge their earlier 5-4 loss to the Sycamores at Bart Kaufman Field back on March 24.
 
Trailing 15-5 after the top of the sixth inning, the Sycamore offense came back to life late in the contest as Nick Sutherlin connected on his second home run of the game to spark a four-run rally. Jeremy Martinez, Colin Sander, and Carter Beck all connected on RBI singles in the frame to pull the Sycamores back to within 15-9.
 
The Hoosiers scored runs in both the seventh and eighth innings to stretch the lead back out, but Indiana State answered both times with Caleb Niehaus connecting on an RBI fielder's choice in the seventh and Emil Estrella singling home Colin Sander in the eighth. John Curl added to the Sycamores' run totals with a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth, but Indiana State was unable to break through to keep the game alive in falling late.
 
Five different Sycamores recorded multi-hit efforts in the game with Nick Sutherlin and Emil Estrella both recording three-hit games on Tuesday night. Sutherlin added a pair of home runs, while Caden Miller tripled and homered in driving in a team-high three RBIs. Colin Sander and Carter Beck both doubled in the loss.
 
Trevor Fenters (0-1) took the loss on the night after surrendering three hits and three runs over 0.1 innings of work. Carson Seeman, Brady Banker, and Jaxon Sparks all helped slow down the Hoosier offense in the game combining for 5.1 innings allowing eight hits and three runs while striking out three.
 
Caleb Koskie provided the big bat for the Hoosiers' lineup going 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBIs. Altogether, six Indiana players recorded multi-hit games with Ayden Crouse, Cooper Malamazian, Cole Decker, and Will Moore homering in the win.
 
Anthony Gubitosi (1-0) took home the win on Tuesday allowing one hit over 2.0 innings while striking out three. Jacob Vogel was effective late in the contest with 2.0 innings allowing three hits and a run while striking out four.
