22, 2007 INDIANA STATE DROPS GAME THREE TO THE BEARS 1-0 TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Bears claimed a 1-0 advantage in the top of the 2nd inning and never looked back in the 7.0 inning 1-0 victory. With the loss the Sycamores record drops to (18-22, 4-13 MVC) and with the win the Bears record moves to (20-23, 9-9 MVC). Junior Darcy Wood started the game for Indiana State and went the whole way pitching 7.0 innings giving up one run on seven hits in the loss. The game was locked at 0-0 heading into the top of the 2nd before Missouri State Sophomore Brook Kempker hit a deep fly that just barely cleared the fence in left field for a one run homerun. This would make the game 1-0 in favor of the Bears and it would prove to be enough for the victory. Missouri State Junior Melissa Porche received her second victory of the weekend as she went 7.0 innings giving up only six hits while not allowing any Sycamore runs to come home. The Sycamore best chance came in the bottom of the 6th inning as they advanced a runner to third base before the Bears tallied the final outs of the inning to end the Sycamore threat. Junior Kelsey Anderson led the inning off with a single followed by another single from Senior Jessica McGivney. Pinch runners came aboard for both batters and with smart base running Freshman Rachel McCleary was able to advance to third base with only one out. The next two batters were retired in order to end the inning. Junior Kelsey Anderson went 2 for 2 and Senior Natalie Kopp went 2 for 3 on the Sycamore Senior Day 2007.
