USI takes the series from UTM, 10-3

Victory is win #400 for Ramirez

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball completed a series over the University of Tennessee at Martin with a 10-3 victory Sunday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. USI is 22-18 overall and 6-9 in the Ohio Valley Conference this season, while UTM goes to 19-2o, 6-9 OVC.
 
Sunday's victory is career-win number 400 for USI Head Coach Chris Ramirez. Ramirez is 400-249-1 during his 13 seasons (49-47 at USI; 152-80 at Lenoir-Rhyne; and 199-122-1 at Illinois Springfield).
 
USI got on the scoreboard early with home runs in the second and third innings. Graduate centerfielder Khi Holiday sent a two-run drive over the left field wall for a 2-0 lead in the second, while graduate leftfielder/rightfielder Noah Foster blasted a three-run shot over the same wall for the 5-0 lead after three frames. The home run was the first of the year for Holiday and the second of the year for Foster.
 
The Screaming Eagles increased the lead to 6-0 in the fourth inning on a groundout by senior first baseman Patrick McLellan to score Holiday. The Skyhawks closed the gap in the sixth to 6-1 and in the eighth to 6-3.
 
USI would respond with four runs in the bottom of the eighth to seal the eventual 10-3 victory. Junior catcher Drue Saenz and Holiday highlighted the frame with a two-run single and a RBI-single, respectively.
 
On the mound, junior right-hander Ean DiPasquale was dominant through seven innings, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning. DiPasquale (3-1) allowed three runs, two earned, on two hits and three walks, while striking out five in seven-plus frames of work.
 
Senior right-hander Andres Gonzalez finished the game on the mound for the Screaming Eagles and posted his fourth save of the season. Gonzalez, who is tied for first on the team in saves, allowed a hit and a walk in 1.1 innings to close out the game.
 
Up Next for the Screaming Eagles:
 
The Screaming Eagles close out the four-game homestand Wednesday when they host the University of Evansville for a 6 p.m. first pitch. The Purple Aces are 15-22 overall and 8-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference after taking two of three from Belmont University this weekend.
