Hey everyone! I'll be providing updates for Indiana baseball's home opener against Purdue today. Stay tuned, game is scheduled to start at 3 p.m.

Sophomore pitcher McCade Brown on the mound for the Hoosiers to start the game.

McCade Brown follows up a strikeout by hitting Purdue batter Evan Albrecht with a pitch. He advances to first base with one out.

Brown walks Purdue's third batter. Two on base, one out in the first inning.

 

[DJFezler]

Brown hits another Purdue batter and loads the bases at the top of this opening inning.

If it wasn't for the fact we need four starters for the weekend, I wonder if Brown would have been on the mound to start this game. He was on the mound in the 7th against Ole Miss when they scored four runs which was the difference in the game. He's off to a shaky start this season.

 

[DJFezler]

Drew Ashley gets on base for the Hoosiers. Grant Richardson follows with a pop up to left field that's dropped by Ben Nisle. Hoosiers on first and second.

Very fortunate to allow just one run to start the game. Two opportunities with loaded bases for Purdue and Brown finishes the inning strong.

Jordan Fucci hits a double between left and center field to clear the bases and put three runs on the board for Indiana.

3-1 and one out for the Hoosiers.

 

[DJFezler]

Indiana swinging very well in this first inning. Cooper Trinkle nails a single to left field that brings home two more.

The Hoosiers have 3 hits, 5 runs and 2 outs remaining.

They lead 5-1.

The hits just keep on coming!!! Even Houston, who hasn't been hitting his weight, is getting in on the act.

 

[DJFezler]

Indiana ends the first inning with 4 hits and 7 runs. The Hoosiers are taking advantage of 2 Purdue errors.

 

[DJFezler]

Quick start to this inning, nothing going for the Boilermakers and the Hoosiers are back up to bat.

 

[DJFezler]

The game is moving along now as the scoring has slowed. Indiana recorded one run in the second and faces two outs with one runner on base in the third.

Indiana leads 8-1.

 

[DJFezler]

Freshman David Platt steps onto the mound to start the fourth inning.

 

[DJFezler]

Indiana earns three runs in the fourth inning and brings the score to 11-1 over Purdue.

 

[DJFezler]

A six-run fifth inning gives Indiana a 17-1 lead over Purdue. Everyone is pitching in on the runs.

A six-run fifth inning gives Indiana a 17-1 lead over Purdue. Everyone is pitching in on the runs.

I'm rooting for a three touchdown lead in this game against the Boilers.
