CHICAGO – Indiana State put together two hard-fought games, but Loyola edged out a doubleheader sweep on Wednesday afternoon, winning 5-3 in the opener before shutting out the Sycamores 3-0 in the finale.
The Sycamores (18-24, 3-14 MVC) put up eight hits on Loyola (22-19, 5-12) in the first game but could never overcome a four-run first inning by the Ramblers in the 5-3 defeat. The second contest was a pitcher's duel between Kylie Stober and Loyola's Keenan Dolezal with just eight total hits in the game, but Dolezal yielded only three in the complete game shutout.
