Ethan Phillips starts on the mound for IU.  Behind the plate for Kent State is Sears and on the mound is Roebuck.  I kid, I kid, but Roebuck really is the KSU pitcher.

We draw first blood with a Tibbitts SF in the 1st inning and the bases loaded to lead 1-0.

 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Halfway point and Hoosiers lead 3-1.  Phillips pitched 2 innings and we've used a pitcher an inning since then.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Our winning streak is at 8 games with a 4-3 win over Kent State.  Season record now 18-7.

We picked up a run in the 7th to make it 4-1.  KSU scored 2 in the 8th on a bases loaded single after we'd loaded the bases via walks.  Risedorph took the mound in the 9th and set KSU down in order for the save.

Hoosiers with 10 hits.  Glasser 3-5 and Tibbitts 2-3 on the day.  We left 10 on base.

This weekend we'll be at Penn State for a weekend series.

After 5 complete Hoosiers trail 1-0.  Bothwell started but was pulled for Katskee after 1.2 innings.  Bothwell faced 11 batters -- walked 4; hit 2 and threw a WP.  Katskee gave up a solo HR in the 3rd and was replaced to start the 4th by Brooks Ey.  He's given up a hit and struck out 4 in his 2 innings.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Foley took the mound in the 6th.  Walked 2 and balked them to 2nd and 3rd.  Infield single made it 2-0.  Whiteaker started the 7th and gave up a solo HR to make it a 3-0 ISU lead.  After a walk and a single with 1 out, Whiteaker was replaced by Seiler.  He gives up a single to the first batter he faced and it's 4-0 at the end of 7 innings.  We've managed just 5 hits off 3 Sycamore pitchers.

Hoosiers get beat 4-0.   

ISU played some really good defense tonight and made the plays that snuffed out potential IU rallies. 

We host Iowa this next weekend.

That Hollycross guy IU saw for five innings is probably the best arm they have seen this season and his numbers back that up (0.47 ERA). He went multiple shutout innings against very highly ranked Kentucky and Miami also so the Hoosiers are far from the first high powered offense he has completely befuddled .

Just one of those days. Focus on winning the Iowa series which is most important. RPI will stay between 25-30 and keep team in position for an at-large bid should they win the games they are supposed to down the stretch.
