DALLAS – After nearly a three-hour weather delay, Dallas Baptist would use four home runs to claim the series opening victory over No. 19 Indiana State, 8-5, Friday night at Horner Ballpark.
First pitch between the top two programs in the Missouri Valley Conference came just after 10 p.m. ET in Dallas and it was a pitchers' duel through the first three innings of action.
Geremy Guerrero retired the nine batters he faced until Patriot left fielder River Town reached on a fielding error at third base. Dallas Baptist would make Indiana State pay for the miscue as two-hole hitter River Glenn sent a ball off the foul pole in left field for a two-run home run to jump ahead.
