Indiana Baseball put together a dominant win on Friday. The Hoosiers scored 13 runs in a 7inning run rule win. Center fielder Cole Decker paced the Hoosiers with a 4-for-4 day including a great bunt for a hit late in the game to load the bases with less than two outs. Sophomore Cooper Malamazian got the 100th hit of his college career in the contest. The media met with Decker, Malamazian, and head coach Jeff Mercer following the game.
