LHP Ty Bothwell is on the mound for IU with an ERA of 4.87 in 40.2 IP and a WHIP of 1.23 with an OBA of .245. The batting order is pretty much the same as in recent games with the exception of Pyne who is batting 8th and Bode who is batting 9th as the DH.
RHP Travis Luensmann is on the mound for PSU with an ERA of 4.86 in 37.0 IP and a WHIP of 1.51 with an OBA of .200. The Nittany Lions have four lefties at the 1 thru 4 batting order and follow that with four righties with a lefty in the 9th position. The first four in the batting order are hitting .321, .380, .424, and .347.
As I post this, it's partly sunny with a temp of 56 with the wind at WNW at 8 mph with gusts up to 18 mph.
1st inning:
T1st:
Bothwell gave up a solo homer to open the game. The shift on the next batter didn't work as the batter singled where Cerny would normally be, and still no outs.
Another single put runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Another single scored a run with runners on the corners with no outs, and Bothwell had given up four consecutive hits.
A DP ball scored another run to make it 3-0 with two outs and the bases empty. A grounder retired the side.
B2nd:
IU's bats better be hot for this game with the hot hitting PSU team already having plated three runs.
Mathison grounded out to the pitcher. Oliver Kds for two outs. Taylor flied out and IU went down in order.
End of 1st: PSU 3 IU 0
