I think Rutger is in a hurry to get back to New Jersey.  God only knows why!  Hoosiers looking for the series sweep with an 8-0 lead after 2 complete.

I'm a jinx.  Rutger scored 4 in its 3rd, 3 in its 4th and 3 more in its 5th.  We're now tied at 10-10 after 5 complete.  It's batting practice Sunday as Rutger has a dozen hits; we have 10.

Rutger scores 2 more in the 6th and again in the 7th and go back to NJ with a 14-11 win.  We blew an 8-0 lead!  That hurts!  

4 IU pitchers torched for 15 hits that included 4 HR.  We had 13 hits of our own that also included 4 HR but obviously it wasn't enough.  Alex Cooper had 3 hits and 3 others with 2 each.  Strader today's RBI leader with 3.  

Wednesday we'll host IU Indy at 5:00.  Next weekend we'll be at Maryland.

The IU women are pretty good.  They spotted Maryland 4 runs and trailed 4-0 after 4 complete.  Scored 4 of our own in the 5th to tie it up.  Both teams scored a run in the 6th and then we added 3 in our 7th to win the series opener 8-5.  In the 7th, Alex Cooper had a solo HR and Madalyn Strader had a 2-run shot.  Hess started and was relieved in the 4th by Mannon who finished the game.  They limited the Terps to 6 hits and walked just 2 batters.  We only had 7 hits of our own but 3 went the distance.  In the 5th, Alli Gavin had a 2-run shot.  Saturday's game scheduled to start at 2:00.

Hoosiers take game 2 of the series 10-2 in a run-shortened game.  Kinda odd in that we scored 10 runs and only had 6 hits.  But Alex Cooper had a grand slam, Madalyn Strader a solo shot and Avery Parker a 2-RBI triple.  Ella Troutt started and pitched 4 scoreless innings but got in trouble in the 5th and Aubree Hooks came on and closed it out.  Collectively they only allowed 5 hits and 1 BB.

Go for the series sweep tomorrow at noon.
