USI thwarted by WSU in series finale, 6-0
University of Southern Indiana Baseball was limited to four hits and lost the series finale, 6-0, at Washington State University Sunday afternoon in Pullman, Washington. The Screaming Eagles watch their record go to 5-6, while WSU goes to 10-1.
The USI hitters were stymied throughout the game, only getting two hits from senior leftfielder Ren Tachioka (Japan) and freshman second baseman Caleb Niehaus (Newburgh, Indiana) through the first seven innings. Tachioka, who had a team-best two hits in the game, and senior centerfielder Evan Kahre (Evansville, Indiana) posted USI's best chance to score in the eighth with back-to-back hits, but were stranded at second and third.
WSU took control with single tallies in the first and second; added a pair of tallies in the fourth; and sealed the victory with runs in the fifth and seventh to conclude the 6-0 final.
USI sophomore right-hander Gavin Seebold (Jeffersonville, Indiana) took the loss for the Eagles. Seebold (1-1) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk, while striking out three in five innings of work.
