Hoosiers Clinch Series with 14-3 Victory over Xavier
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana baseball (26-17-2) strung together five multi-run innings and 16 hits to pick up a 14-3 victory over the Xavier Musketeers on Saturday afternoon at Bart Kaufman Field.
Seven of Indiana's 16 hits went for extra-bases, with senior Austin Cangelosi and junior Logan Sowers each homering in the contest. Cangelosi drove in two runs on the afternoon and scored three times, while Sowers went 2-for-4 and added a double. Sophomore Matt Lloyd and sophomore Ryan Fineman each lead Indiana with three hits apiece, as Lloyd drove in three runs while smacking two doubles and Fineman collected two RBI and scored twice. Senior Craig Dedelow and freshman Jeremy Houston also contributed two-hit games as well.
Freshman right hander Cal Krueger started for Indiana, going 4.2 innings, allowing six hits and two runs while striking out three. Junior B.J. Sabol picked up his fifth win of the season, going 1.1 frames without allowing a hit. Junior Brian Hobbie and senior Luke Stephenson closed out the game, combining for three innings and one run.
Sophomore Luke Miller led off the second with a single. Following a strikeout and a fielder's choice that advanced Miller to second, Fineman connected on a base-hit up the middle to score Miller with two outs. Following a walk to Cangelosi, Houston had another single up the middle for the Hoosiers, scoring Fineman to make it a 2-0 game.
After the Musketeers picked up a run in the third, the Hoosiers came back with a two-spot in the bottom of the fourth. Sowers led off the frame with a double to left field. Then with one out, Cangelosi went the opposite way with a two-run shot, his second of the season, to extend the lead to 4-1.
Xavier once again tried to climb into the lead with one spot in the fifth inning before Indiana came back with four in the bottom of the sixth. A walk by Cangelosi, a sac bunt by Houston, and a base-hit by senior Alex Krupa gave the Hoosiers runners on the corners with one out. A walk by senior Tony Butler led to back-to-back bases loaded walks. RBI singles by Dedelow and Fineman later in the inning extended IU's lead to 8-2.
Following a one-run frame by Xavier in top of the seventh, the Hoosiers closed the game with six-straight runs, two in the seventh and four in the eighth. A walk to Houston and a double by Butler led to Lloyd's two-run double in the seventh. Sowers led off the eighth with his seventh home run of the year. From there, Fineman singled and scored on a throwing error, Cangelosi reached on an error and scored on Houston's RBI single, and freshman Pat Loeffler drove in Houston on a sacrifice fly to make it 14-1.
Indiana and Xavier will close out the three-game set on Sunday with a first pitch time of 1:05 p.m.

IU scores a season high in runs in domination of Xavier
by Andrew Hussey
Senior infielder Austin Cangelosi wasn’t able to walk for his graduation Saturday.
Instead, a trip around the bases would have to suffice.
Cangelosi’s first home run since February was part of IU’s offensive explosion against Xavier. Scoring the most runs in a game this season, IU dominated Xavier 14-3 and took the series victory.
After scratching out a 1-0 victory Friday night, IU’s bats could not be contained in game two of the weekend series. The Hoosiers tallied 16 hits and scored a run in five different innings.
“I just think we got some pitches to hit and I think we did a good job of the strike zone of not chasing outside the strike zone,” IU manager Chris Lemonis said. “So the walks and we got some innings going and some big hits on top of it.”
IU struck first against Xavier, plating two runs in the second inning on singles by sophomore catcher Ryan Fineman and freshman shortstop Jeremy Houston.
Xavier remained within striking distance, and in the fifth inning, the Hoosiers missed a huge opportunity to extend their lead. IU loaded the bases, but was unable to score.
When they loaded the bases in the next inning, they did not squander the opportunity again.
IU scored four runs in the sixth inning, extending its lead to six runs.
“Definitely glad to get a second chance there,” sophomore infielder Matt Lloyd said. “Leaving base runners on is huge momentum for the other team. So, it was nice be able to shut them down and come back out and get another opportunity to score.”
The first two runs of the inning came on walks as both Lloyd and sophomore infielder Luke Miller were patient at the plate. Senior outfielder Craig Dedelow and Fineman also both tallied RBI’s in the inning that broke the game open for IU.
“I thought that was huge because if you don’t take advantage of it too many times, it’s going to hurt you,” Lemonis said. “It’s just too much momentum to give to the other team. So, it’s nice to see us really build that big inning there.”
Freshman pitcher Cal Krueger got the start for IU and went four and two-thirds innings, giving up six hits and two runs. Lemonis thought Krueger pitched well.
“He was a little juiced early and doesn’t make it through the whole game or get through the fifth,” Lemonis said. “I hate taking him out in the fourth, but he had given up a couple really hard hit balls. I liked him early in the game.”
IU pitchers gave up 13 hits, but were able to avoid too much damage.
Cangelosi said this team could’ve mailed it in months ago, but turned the corner and have been on a roll, winning four straight series.
“It’s huge,” Cangelosi said. "We’re playing good baseball right now. We just have to build a resume. We want to ply in a regional, we want to win the Big Ten. You can’t just take a weekend off like this even though (it’s) nonconference. We’re out here to win.”
