It will be RHP Evan Whiteaker on the mound for IU with an ERA of 1.38 in 13 IP.
LHP Isaiah Coupet will be on the mound for OSU with an ERA of 1.08 in 25 IP.
Mathison is the DH with Ellis behind the plate.
It's 46 degrees at game time with the high to reach 54, and it's windy with a wind at 22 mph out of the west.
1st Inning:
T1st:
Whiteaker opened the game by walking the first four batters faced to walk in a run with no outs and the bases still loaded.
Whiteaker lasted just the four batters and he threw just four strikes in 20 pitches and Mercer went to the bullpen to bring in RHP Gabe Levy, who has struggled this season with an ERA of 8.31 in 8.2 IP.
Levy walked the first batter he faced on a 3-1 count to walk in another run and IU has walked the first 5 batters faced. Levy almost walked another batter but got a pop out to 2B on a full count for the first out.
A single that hit off the pitchers mound went into CF to score 2 runs to make it 4-0. Another single scored a run to make it 5-0 and all of the walks have scored. IU tried to turn a DP but after Cerny got the runner at 2nd, he committed an error on the throw to 1st and another run scored which was unearned to make it 6-0. A GO ended the inning.
B1st:
It's going to be difficult to come back in this game against one of the best pitchers in the B1G who has an ERA of 1.08 in 25 IP and IU may have given away the B1G season opener in the first inning.
IU goes down in order.
OSU 6 IU 0
