#23.   Winning streak continues with a 9-3 win.  We unlimbered our bats scoring 4 in the 5th, 3 more in the 6th and 1 in the 7th.  We had 10 hits including HRs from Kern (3-run) and solo shots from Minnick and Copeland.  4 Hoosiers with 2 hits each.  Copeland pitched a complete game scattering 6 hits and walked 1.  She struck out 8.

Streak is over.  Minny wins 6-5 scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 7th.  They loaded the bases via an error, single and a walk.  With 1 out, a sac fly was the game winner.

We scored 5 in the 3rd with timely hitting and a Minny error.  They bounced back in their 4th with 2 runs and added a run in the 5th and in the 6th to tie it up at 7 apiece going into the 7th inning.  Johnson started; relieved by Copeland to start the 4th and in turn relieved by Kleiman in the 6th.  Hoosiers with only 5 hits and we left 7 on base.   

New winning streak starts tomorrow.

Hoosiers get beat 8-5.  We lost our second game in a row and we lost the weekend series.

Minny tied it up at 5-5 in the 5th and added 3 more in the 6th on a bases loaded 2-out triple off Kleiman.  She faced 10 batters and gave up 3 runs on 3 hits and 2 BB in 1.1 innings.

We host Louisville Tuesday night and visit Notre Dame on Wednesday.  We're back in Bloomington next weekend to host Nebraska.  Need to get our mojo back ASAP.

Highlight last night was Copeland's 100th career strikeout.  Also last night, the team set a new season record for RBIs and there's a lot of games yet to be played.

After 4 complete ND leads 5-1.

ND scored 2 in the 3rd to lead 2-1.  IU misplayed a bunt and a Copeland WP led to the Irish runs.  

In the ND 4th, nothing went right for our Hoosiers and ND scored 3 more runs.

We're just not firing on all cylinders tonight.  ND pitcher is in control with 5 strikeouts and allowed just 1 hit.

After 5, it's 8-1.

Going from bad to worse.  ND scored 3 more in the 5th.  Our offense hasn't produced (2 hits); our pitching let us down and we've committed 3 errors. Montgomery replaced Copeland in the 4th and faced 8 batters allowing 4 hits and walked 1 and replaced by Johnson in the 5th.

Nebraska(27-13) (7-4) in town for a weekend series.  All 3 games will be televised on B1G+.  Have to get back in a groove after the Notre Dame fiasco.

Nebraska is among the top performers in the Big Ten offensively. The Huskers are ranked in the top five in seven categories: batting average (.323), runs (205), hits (333), doubles (65), home runs (44), RBI (192) and slugging percentage (.515).
