NEW ALBANY, Ind. - The Indiana University Southeast baseball team extended its record setting winning streak to 15 games on Saturday as the Grenadiers completed the series sweep over Berea College. The Grenadiers defeated the visiting Mountaineers of Berea 12-2 in five innings during the first game of the day. The offensive attack did not fall off in the second game of the doubleheader as the Grenadiers out-scored Berea 13-0 to win in five innings.

The IU Southeast baseball team has not lost a game since Feb. 28 when the team fell on the road to Lindenwold University. With today's victories, the Grenadiers have swept this year's conference regular-season series with Berea.

IU Southeast is also now an undefeated 4-0 in the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC) standings and is currently in sole possession of first place in the conference regular-season standings. Asbury College is currently one game back of the Grenadiers in second place in the KIAC.

With today's wins, the IU Southeast baseball program is now and undefeated 14-0 at home this season at the Koetter Sports Baseball Complex.

IU Southeast Head Coach Ben Reel is happy to start the season undefeated in conference play but knows his player's effort has to continue.

"This is a great way for us to start conference play," said Reel. "With that said, we still have a lot of work to do for our guys to get where they want to be this season. I am also very proud of how we ran the bases this weekend. We stole a lot of bases and it paid off for us offensively."

The Grenadiers will not relax and reflect on this weekend's victories for very long according to Reel, "It might be spring break week but we are going to get back to the hard work that has allowed us to play so well on Monday morning before traveling to Bellarmine University on Tuesday."

The Grenadiers are combining for a .308 batting average and have outscored opponents 172-116 in 24 games. Coming into today's doubleheader with Berea, the Grenadiers had stolen 57 bases in 68 attempts. That ranks the Grenadiers No. 40 in the NAIA for stolen bases and No. 32 in the number of stolen bases attempted.

Next up for the IU Southeast baseball team is NCAA Division II Bellarmine University. The Grenadiers will travel to Louisville, Ky. on Tuesday (3/23) for a single nine inning game with the Knights. First pitch is set for 2 p.m.

The Grenadiers will return home next Friday when it begins its regular-season conference series with Asbury College. Friday's doubleheader with Asbury will begin at 4 p.m. at the Koetter Sports Baseball Complex.
