IU Baseball

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

In a game played at Wrigley Field, our Hoosiers took the weekend opener 9-2.  Neubeck started and pitched 6 innings of 4-hit shutout ball.  Vogel and Rivera closed it out limiting the Wildcats to 3 hits and 2 runs. We had 11 hits in thegame.  Denny went 3-5 and Hanley 3-4.  ten Oever who's been on a real tear was 2-3 and led the way with 3 RBI.  Decker 2-4 with 2 RBI.

Wildcats take today's game 7-4 despite the fact we outhit them 11-5.  Unfortunately, 1 of their 5 was a 3-RBI double and another a 2-4 run HR.  Thomas and Yarberry split mound duties this afternoon for IU.  Denny went 4-4 but not a one of his 4 hits scored a run.  Malamazian was our RBI leader with 2.  Rubber game tomorrow at 2:00 ET.

And Northwestern wins the weekend series winning 9-6 today.  Both teams scored a run in the first inning but NW scored 5 in its second and we had to play catch up from there and despite scoring 3 in our 8th we couldn't complete a comeback.  NW had 12 hits (4-HR) off 4 IU pitchers plus we issued 8 BB.  We could manage just 6 hits.; Hanley had 3 RBI.  To add insult to injury -- our first series loss at Northwestern since 2006.

 Next weekend we play at PUke and the following weekend is the regular season finale (mercifully) hosting Illinois.

I've mostly ignored the baseball team the last couple of seasons. Any chance IU makes a coaching move now, or are we in for another forgetable season next year?

This season was over almost immediately. That stinks the worst because I’ll usually tune in a watch some games if we are near tournament worthy. This team was immediately not that despite preseason rankings indicating we’d be close. I don’t pretend to know what the right move is for Indiana baseball in this case, but it feels like a change is needed.

Mercer is in the last year of his contract. I'm guessing we'll have a new coach next season.
