ST. LOUIS, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball stunned Saint Louis University, 10-2, Tuesday afternoon in St. Louis, Missouri. USI watched its record go to 7-9, while SLU had its 10-game winning streak snapped in going to 10-4.

Eagles' senior centerfielder Evan Kahre (Evansville, Indiana) led the USI offensive attack with three hits, three runs scored, and a RBI. Kahre was responsible for all four USI's runs in the seventh when he cleared the bases with a single and the help of a SLU error.
