CHARLESTON, Ill. – Indiana State scored two critical runs in the seventh inning and thwarted an Eastern Illinois rally in the nick of time as the Sycamores claimed a doubleheader sweep with a 5-4 win in the nightcap at Williams Field in Charleston Wednesday evening.
The Sycamores (13-20) held a 3-2 lead entering the final inning when Leslie Sims drew a one-out walk and made the Panthers (10-29) pay for it. She would steal second to move into scoring position then moved to third on another stolen base. A throwing error by Eastern Illinois – their fifth error of the doubleheader – allowed Sims to score.
