IU Baseball

[Magnanimous]

Is there any thought/fan fiction of bringing Lemonis back if Mercer can’t turn this thing around?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Hoosiers take the weekend opener 13-3 in a run shortened game.  3 Hoosier pitchers limited Abilene Christian to 6 hits while getting 13 of our own.   Cole Decker had the hot bat going 4-4 with 3 RBI.  Denney had 2 HR; one of which came leading off our 1st inning.

Today's (Saturday)start has been pushed back to 4:00.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Abilene wins today 8-4.  4 IU pitchers gave up 7 hits, walked 8 and then just for fun hit 5 batters.  We had 7 hits coupled with receiving 8 walks and ended up leaving 11 men on base. Malamazian and Decker each with 2 hits and Decker was our RBI leader with 2.  Caleb Koskie with a single in the 5th stretched his hitting streak to 20 games.  It is the first 20-game hitting streak since Alex Dickerson in 2010. Dickerson’s record is 21 games.  We'll try for a series win tomorrow at noon.

Potential weather issues have pushed tonight's first pitch to 7:30.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Caleb Koskie back in the line up after missing Tuesday night. Batting third with a chance to set the all time Hoosier Baseball hitting streak at 22 games.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Well, we're losing 7-2 but Caleb Koskie sets a new hitting streak record.

The flood lights going out for a few minutes due to a glitch late in the game is the perfect message and metaphor from the baseball gods on the state of the program right now. Its why a leadership change is likely needed this year or next.

Mercer really struggles with coaches like Rick Heller whose entire system is based on pitching and fundementals.
