• Southern Illinois 13, ISU 3 — At Price Field in Terre Haute, Southern Illinois continued a strong offensive weekend and used another explosive late-game surge to defeat Indiana State in Monday's Missouri Valley Conference series finale.
The Salukis struck early for the third straight contest, jumping ahead on a two-run homer from Sydney Potter in the first inning. Indiana State threatened in the bottom half with three straight hits, but SIU starter Emily Delgado worked out of the jam to keep the Sycamores off the board. That early escape set the tone, as SIU steadily added to its lead while Indiana State struggled to capitalize on traffic throughout the first three innings.
ISU had its best offensive frame in the bottom of the sixth. The Sycamores produced four straight hits and plated three runs on RBI singles from Claire Connelly, Mallory Chavez, and Ireland Riley, cutting the deficit to 9–3 and briefly shifting momentum.
But SIU answered immediately in the seventh, loading the bases before Emily Williams delivered the decisive blow, a grand slam to center, to push the lead to 13–3 and seal the victory.
ISU (18-19 overall, 6-8 conference) continues MVC play with a series Friday and Saturday at Illinois State.
