(Marion, IL)- Southern Illinois starting pitcher Cody Hall threw a complete-game, 4-0 shutout against the Slammers Saturday night to tie the series at one apiece.

Southern got things rolling right away. With one away in the bottom of the first, Carlos Mendez hit a sacrifice fly to take the 1-0 lead. Chad Maddox gave the Miners an insurance run later in the inning, doubling home Alvaro Ramirez.

The game remained scoreless after that until the sixth when Jason Ganek launched a two-run home run over the left field wall to make it 4-0.

Following Jim Schult's fantastic Friday night pitching performance, Cody Hall went the whole way for Southern Illinois, holding the Slammers to only three hits while walking three and fanning five.

Steven Maxwell was stuck with the loss for Joliet, while Daniel Carela threw hitless relief in the seventh, while Mike Barsotti made his debut with the Slammers and threw a 1-2-3 inning.

The series wraps up Sunday with a 5:05 start before Joliet returns to Silver Cross Field for a six-game homestand. Fans can listen live on AM 1340 WJOL with Aaron Morse calling the action.
