DeLand, Fla. - Chris Ingoglia improved to 16-2 lifetime at Melching Field and freshman Justin Dechert contributed three innings in a 3-0 shutout over Southern Illinois Sunday afternoon.  With the victory, Stetson took the season-opening three-game series from the Salukis and is now 2-1. 

Ingoglia (1-0) was in control from the start, setting down the side in order in the first.  He allowed a single and walk in the second, then retired 10 of the next 11 batters.  The senior lefty registered eight strikeouts and allowed just two walks and four singles. 

Dechert tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings Saturday night and came back with three more Sunday afternoon for his first save.  The freshman gave up one hit and one walk. 

The Hatters executed a run in the third inning to take a 1-0 lead.  Kevin Johnson reached on an error and went to second on Shane Jordan's bunt single.  Following a sacrifice Braedyn Pruitt grounded out to first, allowing Johnson to score the go-ahead run.

Stetson gained some breathing room in the sixth.  Pruitt reached on SIU's third error of the game and Justin Bass followed with a single.  Brian Pruitt then ripped a double over the left fielder's head to bring home Stetson's second run.  Bass later scored on a ground out for the 3-0 final score.

Frawley, Bass and Brian Pruitt each tallied two hits to pace the Hatters.  Frawley batted .444 for the season-opening series. 

Stetson has a day off on Monday before returning to Melching Field at Conrad Park Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. against Bethune-Cookman.
