CHICAGO – Indiana State couldn't escape the rain or the big inning Sunday as an eight-run frame in the third proved too much to overcome in a 14-8 loss at Loyola Chicago.
Sunday's game had been delayed two hours in an effort to escape the weather but Mother Nature had other plans as the game was bookended with rain at the start and finish, with the latter causing a short rain delay. In between, Loyola Chicago (20-14, 4-8 Missouri Valley) used a three-run first and an eight-run third to jump out to an 11-3 lead.
From there on out, Indiana State (13-23, 1-10) kept having to play catch up.
