ST. CHARLES, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball dropped a 13-2 decision to #10 (NCBWA)/#16 (ABCA) Lindenwood University in a rain delayed game two in St. Charles, Missouri. The Screaming Eagles go to 19-15 overall and 15-11 GLVC, while the Lions end the afternoon 22-4, 18-4 GLVC.
 
The Eagles fell behind early, trailing the Lions, 7-0, after three frames, before they could get on the scoreboard. USI freshman designated hitter Gavin McLarty and senior shortstop Kobe Stephens singled in runs to pull the Eagles within 7-2 after the top of the fourth. The 7-2 deficit would be as close as the Eagles would come in the contest.
