IU held to one hit in loss
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana struggled offensively, hitting a season-low one time, allowing Michigan State to even the weekend series with a 7-0 win in the first game of a Sunday doubleheader at Bart Kaufman Field.
Despite the lack of hits, Indiana trailed just 2-0 heading into the seventh inning, when the Spartans scored five runs on four hits, including three doubles.
MSU led off with a single and a walk before its first of a pair of 2-RBI doubles in the stanza made it 4-0. A ground-rule double gave the Spartans a 5-0 lead before the visitors added another 2-RBI double to take a 7-0 lead.
Michigan State registered six hits in the first six innings, but only scored twice, notching solo runs on RBI singles in the top of the second and sixth innings, the latter of which was aided by a throwing error on a fielder's choice.
IU starting RHP Jake Kelzer went 5.2 innings and gave up just one earned run despite allowing five leadoff batters to reach base. Kelzer retired six straight batters after MSU's leadoff double in the third and retired nine of 10 heading into the sixth, when MSU scored six runs over the next two innings.
The Hoosiers were shut out for just the second time this season.
Sophomore OF Craig Dedelow had IU's lone hit, his 48th of the season to rank second for IU, in the top of the third.
GAME NOTES
••• Indiana fell to 23-16 overall and 6-9 in Big Ten play.
••• Indiana tallied a season-low one hit in the loss, with Craig Dedelow accounting for IU's lone base knock.
••• The loss snapped a five-game series win streak vs. Michigan State and evened the series at one game apiece. IU has still won seven of the last 11, but MSU leads the all-time series, 101-89-1.

••• Indiana has limited its error total to one or less 26 times this season.
••• Senior DH Scott Donley saw his season-long 15-game hit streak snapped. Donley's 15 straight games with a hit are the most for any Hoosier this season.
