Rasmussen Homers Twice as Illinois State Tops Lindenwood, 10-6

NORMAL, Ill. – Third-year junior Auggie Rasmussen hit two home runs in the Illinois State baseball team's 10-6 win over Lindenwood on Tuesday at Duffy Bass Field.

Rasmussen's 1st inning, two-run blast to right field traveled 414 feet while his 4th-inning, two-run blast to right-center field traveled 440 feet as the Redbirds (14-22 overall) pounded out 14 hits.

Freshman Shai Robinson tallied four hits, scoring three times while freshman Daniel Pacella had three hits and knocked in a run while adding a stolen base.

Lindenwood moves to 9-32 overall.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Rasmussen's two-run shot plated Robinson in the 1st inning.

Robinson singled in the 2nd inning to move ISU's lead to 3-0.

Lindenwood got a pair of runs back in the 3rd inning, but a sacrifice fly by second-year sophomore JP Gauthier and a second RBI single from Robinson pushed the Redbird lead to 5-2 before Rasmussen delivered his second two-run homer of the game.

The Lions homered in the 6th inning to trail 7-3 but sacrifice fly by fourth-year junior Shaydon Kubo and single by Pacella pushed the lead out to 9-3.

Lindenwood plated the game's next three runs before Kubo singled home Gauthier as an insurance in the 8th inning.

  • Rasmussen's on-base streak moves to 16 games, the longest by a Redbird this season.
