Screaming Eagles shut down by Panthers, 3-1

CHARLESTON, Ill. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball managed only one hit and lost to Eastern Illinois University, 3-1, Saturday afternoon at Coaches Stadium in Charleston, Illinois. USI is 20-16 overall and 4-7 in the Ohio Valley Conference this season, while EIU goes to 20-11, 9-2 OVC.
 
The Screaming Eagles trailed 1-0 and were hitless until the fifth inning when senior catcher Micajah Wall sent a shot over the left field wall to tie the score, 1-1. The home run was Wall's team-best fourth of the season.
 
The home run would be all that the USI bats would produce in the game as EIU broke the tie with a tally in the bottom of the fifth and sealed the 3-1 decision with a run in the eighth.
 
USI junior right-hander Ryan Weller took the loss despite a strong start for the Screaming Eagles. Weller (2-3) went six innings, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out four batters.
