TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Becky Malchow went 2-for-3 with an RBI and hit her third career triple as Indiana State swept Saturday's Missouri Valley Conference doubleheader over Valparaiso with a 7-4 win at Price Field.
Half of the Sycamores' eight hits were for extra bases in the game as Indiana State (14-10, 2-0) used powerful bats and fast runners from the very start.
It began in the first inning when Bailey Martin was awarded home on an obstruction call. The Trees tacked on three more runs in the third inning behind a Brooke Mann RBI double, a Bella Peterson sac fly and a wild pitch.
