UIS and UIndy needed extra innings to decide their NCAA Division II tournament matchup. Kaden Griffitts stepped to the plate and delivered a two run walk-off homer in the 10th to give UIS a 10-8 victory. That homer came after Drew Ezard tied the game in the bottom of the 9th for the Prairie Stars with a two out pinch hit homer of his own. Those homers undid the six run 9th inning for UIndy, which included a grand slam from Austin Bode. UIS will play UMSL on Friday at 2pm in the winner’s bracket.
