TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Redshirt junior sent Sycamore fans home happy Sunday afternoon at Bob Warn Field when he hit an RBI infield single to walk off Oakland in the ninth, 5-4.
After battling illness for the past week, junior made his presence known as he led off the bottom of the ninth with a double to center, putting all the pressure on the Golden Grizzlies.
Friis moved to third on a sacrifice bunt before Oakland loaded the bases, looking for a double play. That was when Giesler belted the first pitch he saw to the first base side to give ISU the win.
