God I wish I had been at the game today.

Hoosiers win 6-5.

We let 4-13 Southern Indiana hang around far too long.  USI held a 5-2 lead into our 6th and a Minnick grand slam gave us our first lead of the day.  We had 9 hits with 4 Hoosiers getting 2 each.  Minnick's 4 RBI from her grand slam was the big difference.

Berry opened on the mound but only pitched a single inning giving up 4 hits and 2 runs.  Reyes relieved and was pulled in the 6th for Copeland after giving up 4 more hits and 3 more runs.   Copeland set them down in order in the 7th and it was game over.

Iowa in town for single games on Saturday and Sunday this coming weekend.
