2/21/2023 8:30:00 PM | Baseball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – On a sun-splashed afternoon at Bart Kaufman Field, the Indiana baseball program got contributions from up and down the lineup and from nine different pitchers in a 13-5 victory over Miami (Ohio) to open the 10th season inside the facility.
Indiana (2-2) scored in each of the first five innings to build a 11-4 lead, with a seven-run third inning doing most of the damage. The Hoosiers scored one run in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings, then added two runs in the seventh inning to cap the scoring. Miami (Ohio) (0-4) got one run in the third, three in the fourth and one in the eighth to account for its offense.
Senior Hunter Jessee continued his torrid start to the 2023 season with a 3-for-4 effort at the plate with three runs scored and four RBIs. He produced his second career multi-home run game with a solo home run to right field to open the scoring in the first inning and a two-run shot to the opposite field in the seventh. He also moved his reached base streak to 23 games dating back to the 2022 campaign.
Senior Phillip Glasser, redshirt-junior Bobby Whalen and sophomore Josh Pyne each chipped in multi-hit games, with Pyne posting a three-hit contest with two runs scored. Glasser drove in two RBIs, scored one run and had one triple in the game. The third multi-RBI game of the night came from sophomore Brock Tibbitts who plated three runs in the game, with two coming on a triple in the third inning.
On the mound, junior Seti Manase (1-0) picked up the win with one inning of scoreless work. Freshmen (in order of appearance) Evan Whiteaker, Connor Foley, Cooper Katskee and Brayden Risedorph each made their collegiate debuts and combined to throw four innings with seven strikeouts.
Redshirt-senior Craig Yoho logged the only multi-inning effort with two scoreless frames. He made his first collegiate pitching appearance and played in his first career game since 2020. He allowed two hits and struck out five batters.
For Miami (Ohio), Tommy Harrison hit a solo home run as part of a two-hit night, while Parker Lester and Brian Zapp each posted two-hit nights. Cooper Weiss drove in three RBIs in the game, with Lester and Harrison accounting for the other two runs batted in. Nick Vardavas (0-1) got the start and allowed eighth runs on seven hits over 2 2/3 innings in the loss. He struck out four and walked three.
