Bears whack Sycamores to claim 7th MVC series
SPRINGFIELD–The best team in the Missouri Valley Conference continued adding to its success, on Saturday, as the Missouri State baseball team hammered Indiana State, 10-3, to claim its 7th league series. Freshman pitcher, Michael Yusypchuk, picked up his first win six outings. Yusypchuk tossed five innings, and only allowed two runs, while striking out four Sycamores. At the plate, the Bears bashed three home runs–two of them were back-to-back–Tyler Epstein and Curry Southerland left the yard in the second inning, as part of a 6-run frame that gave Missouri State a comfortable 6-0 cushion. Caden Bogenpohl swatted the team's final homer of the game in the home-half of the 5th inning. Bogenpohl's 10th of the year was also his 30th career blast. The sophomore centerfielder is 5th Bears player to hit 10 or more home runs this spring. The Bears will celebrate Mother's Day and Senior Day on Sunday in the series finale at Hammons Field at 1 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

MoState's Yusypchuk throws gem
I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. Missouri State baseball is playing a road series at Southern Illinois. The series was delayed because of rain and cold. The Bears and Salukis are playing a double header Monday. In our Bear Nation update. But in Sunday's single game, Missouri State pitcher Michael Yusypchuk threw a gem. The freshman from Edmonton, Canada threw a seven inning complete game. The right hander scattered four hits over the seven innings and gave up only one run in the Bears 12-1 victory. For Yusypchuk, it's his second complete game in back to back starts. That hasn't happened since 2012 when Pierce Johnson pulled that trick. Johnson is pitching for the Atlanta Braves now. Missouri State and Southern Illinois are fighting for first place in the Valley. We'll have highlights on the news. For more sports watch Ozarks First news at nine and ten. I'll see you then.
