TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State took advantage of early Southern Illinois pitching and fielding woes and held off a late Saluki rally in claiming Friday night's series opener at Bob Warn Field, 9-7.

The Sycamores (17-16, 6-4) built an early 8-1 lead through four innings as Indiana State took advantage of eight SIU walks, three hits-batsmen, and three Matt Schark errors in taking command of the game early.
