Gorski's Walk-Off RBI Single Gives IU 4-3 Victory over Ball State
4/25/2017 11:11:00 PM | Baseball
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana Baseball (22-16-2) walked off on the Ball State Cardinals, 4-3, on Tuesday night from Victory Field in Indianapolis in 10 innings.
Freshman Matt Gorski delivered the game-winning RBI with two outs in the 10th. He finished the night with two hits and an RBI. Three other Hoosiers found themselves with two-hit nights, as seniors Alex Krupa, Tony Butler and sophomore Ryan Fineman all had multi-hit nights. Butler chipped in an RBI, as did freshman Jeremy Houston. Junior Logan Sowers scored twice in the effort.
Freshman Cal Krueger worked the first three innings and mixed two runs with three hits and three strikeouts. Juniors Kade Kryzsko, B.J. Sabol and sophomore Tim Herrin combined for six innings of relief and held the Cardinals to just one hit during that time. Sophomore Matt Llyod (3-1) picked up the win.
Two-straight singles opened the second for the Hoosiers. Sowers led off with a single up the middle, while Gorski followed with a base-hit back to the pitcher. After a groundout advanced both runners, a balk on Ball State's Kevin Marnon granted Sowers to touch home and put Indiana up, 1-0.
Ball State responded with two runs in the top of the third to take a 2-1 lead.
The Cardinals remained in the lead until the bottom of the seventh when Indiana served up both the tying and go-ahead run. Sowers walked and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt. Fineman's infield single pushed Sowers up to third, while Houston scored Sowers on a single. Krupa then set up Butler for an RBI single to left field, which scored Houston and gave Indiana a 3-2 lead.
Ball State set itself up well in the eighth inning with the first two Cardinals reaching base with walks. Herrin then retired the next three with strikeouts. A one out run for Ball State in the ninth tied the game, 3-3.
Indiana tried to end the game in nine innings when Fineman and Krupa each singled, but the Hoosiers would come up empty.
Ball State picked up two quick outs in the 10th frame before the Hoosiers mixed small ball along with some two-out magic to produce the game-winner. Junior pinch hitter Laren Eustace was plunked and stole second base before Ball State decided to intentionally walk Sowers to put two on. Gorski then delivered the game-winning RBI single to the outfield to bring Eustace around from second and give the Hoosiers the 4-3 victory
Indiana hosts the 15th-ranked Maryland Terrapins for three games from Bart Kaufman Field beginning this Friday at 6:05 p.m.
