Pool E Recap: Day Three (Saturday)

GULF SHORES, Ala. - Indiana University Southeast fell 10-0 to Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) in five innings on the final day of pool play, but due to beating Lubbock Christian (Texas), the only other 2-1 team in the pool, the Grenadiers advance to the double-elimination bracket.
