INDIANS POST 7-0 TRIUMPH

JONESBORO, Ark. -- Southeast Missouri State University's baseball team used dominating pitching to roll past host Arkansas State 7-0 Wednesday afternoon.

Todd Pennington, Mark Frazier and Jeff Hilz combined on a three-hitter as the Indians improved their record to 6-4. ASU fell to 3-8.

Pennington (1-0) got the win. He pitched the first six innings, allowing just one hit while striking out five and walking six. Pennington hurled five hitless frames before ASU finally reached him in the sixth.

Frazier gave up one hit and one walk in two innings while Jeff Hilz fanned the side while allowing a hit in the ninth.

The Indians banged out 11 hits, led by Zach Borowiak with three, including two doubles. Borowiak drove in three runs and also scored three times.

Brian Hopkins and Denver Stuckey added two hits apiece. Hopkins also scored three runs.

Southeast, which played errorless ball, broke on top with a run in the second inning. The Indians added one in the third, one in the fifth, one in the seventh and broke things wide open with a three-run ninth.

ASU starter Michael Castleberry (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks in 2 2/3 innings.

The Indians will play a home game today for the first time since Feb. 11 when Harris-Stowe visits Capaha Field for a 2 p.m. start.

Following today's action, the Indians won't play at home again until March 17.

Southeast was scheduled to visit perennial national power Creighton for a two-game series this weekend, but those contests have been canceled because of extremely bad weather in Omaha, Neb.
