LHP Brandon Keyster is on the mound for IU with an ERA of 5.17 in 5.17 IP and a WHIP of 0.89 with an OBA of .196. IU welcomes Tibbitts back to the lineup and he will be at 1B while batting 7th. Don't look for him to be behind the plate again this season given the injury he had. Former Boiler Stadler will be behind the plate. Brenczewski will be the DH today. It will be Taylor, Pyne and Mitchell at the top of the order with Cerny, Brenczewski, and Stadler in the middle of the order, and Tibbitts, Mathison and Oliver at the bottom of the order.
LHP Jordan Morales is on the mound for PU with an ERA of 4.50 in 62.0 IP and a WHIP of 1.45 with an OBA of .295. The Boiler batting order has two lefties leading off with the rest of the order being righties. Redshirt freshman Luke Gaffney who is hitting .412 on the season and plays 1B, is not in the lineup so he must be dealing with an issue. He has been the B1G Freshman of the Week five times so far this season.
It's 74 degrees and mostly sunny with the wind out of the N at 13 mph and no gusts to speak of and it's blowing in from left center.
1st inning:
T1st:
Taylor led off and he Kd on a full count. Pyne doubled off the wall in RF to put a runner in scoring position with one out.
Mitchell Kd looking on a 2-2 count for the 2nd out. Cerny reached on an infield hit to put runners on the corners with two outs.
Brenczewski singled to drive in Pyne and the Boilers trail for the first time in eight games. There are runners at the corners with two outs and Stadler up.
Cerny was caught trying to steal home to retire the side.
B1st:
Keyster walked the leadoff hitter on a 3-1 count. On a grounder fielded by Keyster, his throw was off at 1B for an error and PU had two runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.
A two-run double gave the Boilers the lead at 2-1 with a runner in scoring position and no outs and the walk and error cost IU two runs with one run unearned.
A flyout got the first out with the runner holding at 2nd.
With a 1-2 count on the next batter, IU went to the bullpen and brought in RHP Drew Buhr with an ERA of 3.67 in 27.0 IP and a WHIP of 1.30.
Yet another error, this time on Pyne a 3rd cost IU what should be an easy out and the ball got through Pyne allowing the runner on 2nd to take 3rd.
A DP ended the inning which included two errors by IU and an unearned run given up to go along with an earned run in a very sloppy inning by IU.
End of 1st: PU 2 IU 1
