25, 2007 THE #19/22 SALUKIS PAW THEIR WAY TO VICTORY OVER THE SYCAMORES TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Day one of the weekend series saw the Salukis snatch two victories from the Sycamores by scores of 7-0 and 6-2. The Sycamores would look to take one back from the Salukis on Day 2 as the clubs met for a 12:00 noon game at Price Field on the Campus of Indiana State University. Despite their best efforts the Sycamores couldn’t seem to get it going off of the starting pitcher for Southern Illinois, Senior Cassidy Scoggins. Scoggins would pitch a complete game shutout, 7.0 innings, allowing only three hits while striking out seven Sycamores. The pitcher for the Sycamores was Junior Darcy Wood, only three days removed from her 23 strikeout performance against Saint Louis. Wood would take the loss on this day as she went 5.1 innings giving up two runs on seven hits while striking out three Salukis. The game ended by a score of 2-0 in favor of the visiting Salukis of Southern Illinois. The Salukis scored runs in the 2nd and 5th innings with the backbreaker coming off the bat of Becky Wegmann in the 5th as she hit a solo homerun over the left field fence. It looked as if the Sycamores would start a rally in the bottom of the 7th as Junior Katie Iocoangeli hit a double off the right field wall with two outs but the Sycamores failed to bring her around as Sophomore Lauren Kebely flied out to end the game. Iocoangeli finished 1 for 3 with the double. Seniors Jackie Chomicki and Stephanie Spychaj went 1 for 3 respectively, each notching a single. With the loss the Sycamores are now (15-13, 1-5 MVC) while the #19/22 Salukis of Southern Illinois are now (27-6, 8-0 MVC). The Sycamores
return to action on Wednesday, March 28 as they travel to Normal,
Illinois for a two game twinbill. The first game will start at 3:00
p.m. followed by a 5:00 p.m. game central time.
