TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Josue Urdaneta extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Indiana State (9-6) a 5-4 win over Southeast Missouri (13-3) Wednesday at Bob Warn Field.
 
INS completed a two-game sweep of SEMO and improved to 7-0 all-time against the Redhawks.
 
With one out in the bottom of the ninth, the Redhawk defense broke down behind reliever Kyle Miller. SEMO committed back-to-back errors and pinch-hitter Jackson Taylor walked after that to load the bases. Urdaneta, ahead 2-1 in the count, drove Miller's third offering down the right field line for the game-winning hit.
 
An error figured into both teams scoring three runs in the second inning.
 
Lincoln Andrews led off the top of the second with a single to right and advanced to third when Joel Vaske reached on a one-out error. After Spencer Parker flied out, Ben Palmer ripped a two-out single to right scoring both Vaske and Andrews to put SEMO ahead, 3-0.
 
In the bottom half of the inning, Parker Stinson reached on a one-out error and touched home on an ensuing double to left by Sean Ross. Two hitters later, Seth Gergely doubled down the left field line with two outs and Ross scored. On the next play, Grant Magill singled home Gergely to tie the game at 3-3.
 
INS took its first lead in the bottom of the third courtesy of a solo home run by Stinson.
 
SEMO, however, used a solo home run of its own by Jevon Mason to bring the game to a 4-4 deadlock in the top of the seventh.
 
The Sycamores had runners at first and third with one out, but Blake Cisneros silenced the threat when he forced Randall Diaz to hit into a fielder's choice and Urdaneta to fly out. Andrew Keck tagged Magill on a close play at home prior to Urdaneta's pop up to short.
 
SEMO committed three errors that led to four unearned runs for INS.
 
Kyle Miller (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season. Miller gave up a hit and walked one with his only run allowed unearned.
 
Bryce Grossius, like Cisneros, gave SEMO nice work out of the bullpen. Grossius threw three scoreless innings with four strikeouts.
 
Joey Hurth was credited with the win for INS.
 
Offensively, the Sycamores outhit the Redhawks, 10-7.
 
Mason and Ben Palmer each went 2-for-4 with a run scored to lead SEMO. Mason added one RBI and Palmer knocked in two runs, as well.
 
SEMO remains on the road to face its fifth Missouri Valley Conference opponent this year when it heads to Missouri State for a three-game series beginning Friday.
