3/27/2021 4:05:00 PM | Baseball
EAST LANSING, Mich. – The Indiana University baseball team defeated the Michigan State Spartans, 10-4, at McLane Stadium in East Lansing, Mich. on Saturday afternoon.
With the victory, the Hoosiers improve to 11-2 on the season overall and in Big Ten conference play. The Spartans fall to 6-8 on the year and in league action.
KEY MOMENTS
• After a OF Drew Ashley walk and an INF Cole Barr double to left-center field, runners were at second and third for INF Paul Toetz. The freshman came through and gave IU an early, 1-0 lead with an RBI infield groundout.
• With the score tied at 1-1 after two full, the Hoosiers played long-ball in the top of the third to take a 5-1 lead. Ashley hit a laser over the left-field fence for a solo home run to get the scoring started.
• After a Toetz double and a walk to DH Kip Fougerousse, INF Jordan Fucci hit a rocket deep down the right-field line for a three-run blast.
• Indiana added three runs in the sixth inning courtesy of a double play, wild pitch and an error to push the lead to 8-1.
• In the eighth inning, Barr was back at it, lining a two-run double down the left-field line to make the score 10-1.
NOTABLES
• RHP McCade Brown (3-1) earned the win for the Hoosiers, striking out seven in five innings of work, allowing just one run on three hits.
• Indiana's 11-2 start in Big Ten play is the best for the team since also starting 11-2 in league action in 2016.
• Ashley extended his on-base streak to 38-games dating back to the 2019 season.
• Ashley and Toetz have at least one hit in all 13 games this season for the Hoosiers.
• RHP John Modugno tossed two perfect innings of relief, striking out two.
• Ashley's four runs scored are the most for any Hoosier since Elijah Dunham scored four against Rutgers on May 18, 2019.
• Indiana's 10 runs are a season-high.
• LHP Braden Scott struck out the final two batters of the game.
UP NEXT
• The Indiana Hoosiers will conclude their Big Ten series at Michigan State on Sunday, Mar. 28. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET.
