NORMAL — Jordan Lussier didn’t make it easy on himself Saturday at Duffy Bass Field.
Yet the Illinois State right-hander was even tougher on Indiana State.
Lussier did not enjoy a 1-2-3 inning but pitched seven scoreless frames as the Redbirds downed No. 23-ranked Indiana State, 5-0.
“That’s my best start so far,” said Lussier, a freshman transfer from Chandler-Gilbert Community College. “Everything was working. It was a good day. My fastball and slider were both on today. I was very confident with both.”
Lussier (4-1) allowed six hits, struck out five and walked one.
