RHP Jared Kollar is on the mound for Rutgers with an ERA of 2.66 in 47.1 IP. Rutgers is hitting .326 as a team and there is not a weak hitter in their lineup, as everyone but one player hits over .300, and the one that doesn't is at .289.
In the 1st, Whalen led off with an infield single and then reached 2nd on a WP. A walk to Glasser put two on with no outs, and Ellis then hit into a DP, something he has done a few times this season, leaving a runner on 3rd. Kollar then got a K to end IU's 1st.
In RU's 1st, Modugno, with an ERA of 9.59 in 25.1 IP, struck out the first batter, but then walked the next two batters to put runners on 1st and 2nd with one out. IU got the 2nd out on a force out at 3rd, with runners still on 1st and 2nd. A flyout ends RU's 1st as both teams failed to take advantage of scoring situations in the 1st.
