The Indians honored two seniors, Emery Ivers and Hunter Gray prior to the contest and each had 2 hits with Ivers homering and Ethan Metz also had 2 hits and 3 RBI in the game.
Carter Davis picked up the win in relief for the Salukis, who have won 2 in a row and are 13-9 on the season. Teegan Rolland took the loss in relief for the Indians, who have lost 11 in a row to fall to 2-16 on the season.
