Bottom of 9th. Game tied. Bases loaded. One out.

And Tucker gets out of it. Nice job! 

4-4 headed to the 10th.

Despite a less than stellar season, the team has represented themselves very well in this tournament.

2 outs bases loaded for IU top 11th.

Pyne comes through with a 2-run single.  Hopefully, Tucker's got one more solid inning left in the tank.

HOOSIERS WIN 6-4 IN 11! !

No 8 seed knocks out the No. 1 for the first time. 

Way to go, fellas!

Our much maligned pitching staff has really delivered in the last 2 games.  Brehmer's complete game gem last night and Tucker's 6 innings of relief today.  Didn't allow any runs and only gave up 4 hits; 2 BB throwing 98 pitches, 59 for strikes.

Hell of a win - great performance by Tucker this afternoon for 6 innings!

Seeing tweets that this is the first time the #8 seed has eliminated the #1 seed.

We play Rutgers later this evening following Iowa v. Michigan.

The most appropriate way for the IU athletic year to end would be for the baseball team to improbably reach the final game of the Big Ten tournament only to lose to Iowa again.

Well for that to happen Iowa needs to beat Michigan twice (while Michigan would only have to win once) and IU needs to beat Rutgers twice (while Rutgers would only need to win once). Seems unlikely.

This.  Man..  we don't commit that error, that pitching looks nasty.  

[btownqb 8,253]

Our toughness showed up today. I think the offense can be even better. It needs to show up in waves tonight. 

Ridiculous we aren't playing Michigan instead of RU.

The bracket has always flipped when you are in the losers bracket for many years.

They don't want you playing the same teams over and over again, hence they flip the brackets. The fact that Michigan is making a run is surprising. In theory Maryland should of been in that spot and they don't want a team in the loser bracket playing the same team three times in a tournament. By flipping the brackets you guarantee some new match ups and it makes perfect sense.

This is absurd. And i wont be shocked if this game is a catalyst for the NCAA fixing the baseball playoff schedule

Not really. Just keep the teams on the same side. RU got a huge advantage by the extra rest, Michigan got ultra screwed, stupid format.

Michigan won the whole tournament so I think they are fine. They still would of played one less game than IU even if brackets did not flip.  That is what happens when you fall into loser's bracket as IU did.
