Beacons Fall to Sycamores in Home Opener

The Valparaiso University baseball team played at Emory G. Bauer Field for the first time in 2026 in Game 21 of the season on Saturday, as the Beacons fell 18-2 in seven innings to visiting Indiana State. Sophomore Case Sullivan (Carmel, Ind. / Carmel) led the team with two hits including a double for the squad's only extra-base knock.
 
How It Happened
  • Indiana State started the scoring with a three-run homer in the top of the first.
  • A two-run double and two-run homer in the third expanded the lead to seven.
  • The Sycamores poured on five more in the fourth, three in the fifth and three in the sixth as they posted crooked numbers in five of the first six frames.
  • Redshirt senior Dylan Immel (Brownsville, Wis. / Lomira) was a bright spot for the Valpo pitching staff. He retired the side in order in the top of the seventh including a pair of strikeouts.
  • The Beacons got on the board in the bottom of the seventh as Brayden Pleau (Appleton, Wis. / Kimberly) lashed a two-run single. Sullivan followed with a two-bagger, but the Beacons stranded two in scoring position in the final frame.
Up Next
The Beacons (6-15, 0-4 MVC) will look to bounce back on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Emory G. Bauer Field in Game 2 of the series against Indiana State. A link to live stats will be available on ValpoAthletics.com.
