Indiana Hoosiers 0, Iowa Hawkeyes 10 (7 innings)
Inning by inning details in the Live Game Blog | Box Score
All but one of Indiana’s four baserunners on the day reached the first time through the order. Two othose were erased with ground ball double plays. At no point on the day did the Hoosier offense even reach second base. Three Hoosiers got singles: Will Moore, Devin Taylor, and Hogan Denny. Andrew Wiggins got his first start in several weeks and drew a walk. Korbyn Dickerson was kept hitless throughout the entire series.
With that, there wasn’t much Indiana pitching could do to help, but even they struggled. Ben Grable started and ended his outing with 1-2-3 frames, but he allowed six runs in the second and third innings. Grable did strike out eight Hawkeyes, but six hits and two walks were very costly.
Jackson Yarberry was really good right out of the bullpen, getting the first five he faced out. Then he allowed a solo homer and walked a batter before a Tyler Cerny fielding error on a very hard-hit choper right to him was bobbled and extended the inning to allow Iowa to get to 10 runs with a three-run blast that put the rune rule in play. Since it happened so fast, they failed to get graduate student Drew Buhr into the game. He was supposed to throw a single inning as part of his recovery from injury. That will now likely get pushed back to Tuesday night.
Indiana never recovered in the series from losing in walk-off fashion on Friday night. While they only scored once in that game, the approaches looked good and they ran up the starter’s pitch count in the process. In that game they just left guys on base. Saturday they looked overmatched, Sunday they just seemed non-competitive.
They’ll head back to the Hoosier state for a midwek bout against Evansville at 6pm ET on Tuesday.
