ISU won the opener 4-2 and Wichita State took the nightcap 4-3.

“We played well enough to win two games today,” coach Shane Bouman said. “It was fun to be a part of Sycamore softball until 22 free bases over the last two innings of game two, and that’s the reason for the split. We have a great opportunity to win a series [today] and I know we will come out ready to play.”

A single by Kelsey Montgomery, two wild pitches and an RBI single by Morgan Allee gave the Sycamores a 1-0 lead in the third inning of the first game, and they scored three more in the top of the seventh. Alexa Cavin had a two-out, two-run double, stole third and scored on a throwing error for a 4-0 lead.

ISU jumped ahead in the second game after Cavin walked and came around on a double by Shelby Wilson asnd an RBI single by Abbie Malchow.

The Shockers tied the score, but ISU had a 2-1 lead after Allee was hit by a pitch and scored on Wilson’s single. It was 3-1 in the top of the seventh when Allee scored on an error after her leadoff single, but the Shockers got two hits and three walks to come from behind in the bottom of the inning.

The finale of the three-game series between the teams, both currently 10-14 overall and 1-1 in the MVC, is 1 p.m. today.

* Rose swept by Illinois College — Illinois College relied on a strong overall effort to sweep Rose-Hulman 5-2 and 5-0 in a Saturday softball doubleheader.

The visitors took a 4-3 lead in the top of the eighth but Carly Heibel drove in the tying run with a double in the bottom of the inning and scored the winning run following a passed ball and a sacrifice fly by Allison Bowman.

Two Taylor pitchers combined for a no-hitter in the second game.

• Sycamores bow out of MVC Tournament

  Indiana State’s baseball was out of pitching, and after a loss to Wichita State on Thursday, the Sycamores were out of second-chances too at the Missouri Valley Conference baseball tournament. What the Sycamores weren’t out of was heart, guts and clutch performances from some unlikely sources. But in the end, Friday’s elimination game rematch against the Shockers was a sampling of ISU’s season overall — the Sycamores were out of luck.

• ISU baseball team builds on success with 14-2 rout

  Indiana State’s baseball victory over Alcorn State on Friday would take on more meaning Saturday if the Sycamores could build momentum and pick up on the good work they did in Friday’s ninth-inning rally.
  Mission accomplished.
  The Sycamores were aggressive from the opening inning at the plate and starting pitcher Devin Moore gave them eight valuable and effective innings on the mound as ISU defeated Alcorn State 14-2 at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a really good experience for everybody. It felt great to finally come out here and put some things together. It’s also really nice when your offense puts a lot of runs on the board,” Moore said.
  Moore’s eight innings of work were as valuable as gold to an ISU team that is short on quality arms due to injury and ineffectiveness. He didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning and one of the two runs he conceded was unearned.

  “We have to be fearless. You can’t be afraid at all,” said Hope, who has also catapulted herself into the NCAA’s elite in the event, ranking 15th in the NCAA with her leap of 13-feet, 9 1/4.
