The game meant nothing, but the day meant everything on Saturday afternoon at Emory G. Bauer Field.
The Valparaiso University baseball team scored three times in the bottom of the ninth and brought the potential winning run to the plate, but No. 20 Indiana State escaped Emory G. Bauer Field with an 11-9 victory on Friday afternoon. Brady Renfro (Antigo, Wis. / Antigo) drilled what would have been a game-tying home run to deep right with two outs in the sixth, but Indiana State right fielder Parker Stinson leaped up and robbed the would-be home run, a play that proved pivotal in the game’s outcome.
Valparaiso University baseball seniors Kyle Schmack (Wanatah, Ind. / South Central) and Alex Ryan (Lake Mills, Wis. / Lakeside Lutheran) both launched home runs in the first game of their final collegiate series, but No. 20 Indiana State posted crooked numbers in five of the nine frames including a five-run ninth to prevail 13-4 on Thursday afternoon at Emory G. Bauer Field. Schmack is one home run away from tying the program’s career and single-season home run records. The game started with a 24-minute rain delay and it rained on and off throughout during parts of the contest including a steady rain for an inning or two early in the game.
