Andy Nucci (Ft. Wayne, Indiana) and junior second basemanÂ
Adam Schiff (Evansville, Indiana) each picked up a pair of hits.
Game two saw USI's offense stall as the Eagles were only able to pick up three hits. The Eagles' only run came in the second inning when senior catcherÂ
Brian Scroggins (Edwardsville, Illinois) scored on a triple by senior third basemanÂ
Justin Ambs (Zionsville, Indiana).
USI had a strong pitching performance by freshman left-handerÂ
Matt Antey (Newburgh, Indiana), who went six-plus innings, allowing eight hits and two runs. Antey (1-2) also struck out five Knight hitters.
