TROY, Ala. – The Indiana baseball program dropped both games of a doubleheader at on Sunday (March 13) on Riddle-Pace Field. The Hoosiers dropped a pair of tightly contested contests, 6-4 and 7-4.

Indiana (6-9) had its chances in each game of the doubleheader, but Troy (11-5) was up to the task in each game. In game one, IU took an early lead with two runs in the first inning, before Troy scored three times in the third. IU answered with two more in the fourth to recapture the lead, but the Trojans scored two in the fourth and one in the sixth to cap the scoring.

The Hoosiers then took a 3-0 lead in the first inning of game two, but Troy answered back with four of its own in the opening frame. IU tied the game in the third inning, but the Trojans scored one in the sixth and one in the seventh, before escaping a ninth-inning threat by IU.

Six different Hoosiers collected hits in the first game of the day. Graduate student Tyler Doanes and senior Phillip Glasser each reached base twice, while redshirt-junior Matthew Ellis and freshmen Josh Pyne and Carter Mathison all collected one RBI. Senior Bradley Brehmer (1-1) took the loss with five runs allowed over 3 2/3 innings.

Glasser and Pyne each collected three hits in the nightcap, and Doanes was on base twice. Pyne plated a pair of RBIs and Brock Tibbitts hit his fourth home run of the season and scored twice. IU out-hit Troy, 9-5, but the Trojans benefited from six walks and two hit-by-pitch, and five two-out hits accounted for all seven runs.

Starting pitcher John-Biagio Modugno (0-3) took the loss with four runs allowed in two-thirds of an inning of work. He walked four, allowed two hits and struck out two. Reliever Reese Sharp came out of the bullpen and stranded two inherited runners. He went on to throw 5 1/3 innings and allow one run on one hit. He struck out seven and walked one.
