In our opener for the weekend, East Carolina used 6 IU pitchers for batting practice banging out 16 hits, drawing 6 walks and getting 3 HBP to win 17-4.   8 of the 16 hits were extra bases and included 3 HRs.  We managed 10 hits but left 13 on base.  Glasser went 4-4 and Mathison 2-4.  Try again tomorrow.

Hoosiers trailed 3-0 after 5 but scored twice in the bottom of the 6th on a 2-run single by Jessee.  A Mathison ground out tied it up at 3-3 going into the 7th.

Luke Sinnard pitched the first 6 innings throwing 84 pitches and was relieved by Yoho to open the 7th.  Sinnard allowed 2 earned runs on 4 hits, 2 BB and struck out 6.

Hoosiers take a 10-4 loss vs. Long Beach State today.  LBS with 12 hits off 5 IU pitchers including 2 HRs off starting pitcher Manase.  Staff also contributed 5 BB, 2 WP and 1 HP.  Defensively, we were a sieve with 4 errors and only 4 of LBS 10 runs were earned.  On the flip side, we had 8 hits, all singles.  Ellis with 2 RBIs.  We left 7 on base.

On Wednesday, we'll host Purdue Fort Wayne.  Next weekend Bellarmine will be in Bloomington for a 3-game series.
