Eleven-Run Seventh Leads Indiana Baseball Past Indiana State
Offense posts first double-digit run inning since 2016 in route of Indiana State
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – An 11-run outburst in the bottom of the seventh inning helped the Indiana baseball program to a 15-4 victory over Indiana State on Tuesday (March 21) at Bart Kaufman Field. It marked the first double-digit run inning for an IU offense since it scored 11 runs in the seventh inning against Butler on March 23, 2016.
Indiana (13-7) opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the second inning, before Indiana State (8-10) scored one in the third. After a two-run Hoosier home run, the Sycamores tallied three runs in the seventh to knot the score at four runs apiece. IU scored 11 runs in the bottom of the seventh to retake the lead. A solo home run in the ninth for ISU capped the scoring.
All nine starters reached base in the game with eight of them collecting hits, led by three-hit nights from sophomores Carter Mathison and Brock Tibbitts. All three of Mathison's hits went for extra bases with two doubled and one home run, and he added two runs scored and three RBIs. Tibbitts singled three times, walked once, drove in one RBI and scored four runs in the game.
Freshman Devin Taylor posted his third career multi-RBI game with three runs batted in on a double in the seventh inning and freshman Tyler Cerny added a pair of RBIs in the 11-run frame. Senior Phillip Glasser chipped in a pair of hits for his 13th multi-hit game and ran his hitting streak to 10 games in the process. He scored two runs and has been on base in all 21 games this season.
In all, 11 pitchers saw time on the mound in the game for Indiana with junior Seti Manase starting the contest. He fired a scoreless inning, while (in order of appearance) freshmen Brayden Risedorph, freshman Ethan Phillips, freshman Ayden Decker-Petty, graduate student Gabe Levy and sophomore Ryan Kraft also fired scoreless frames.
Redshirt-senior Craig Yoho (2-0) got the win after he allowed one run on one hit with two walks and two strikeouts. He entered with two runners on base and one out in the seventh.
For Indiana State, six of the seven pitchers used gave up multiple runs with Jacob Pruitt (0-1) saddled with the loss after allowing two runs on one hit over two-thirds innings of work. Four of ISU's seven hits came in the form of two-hit nights from Seth Gergely and Randal Diaz. Both scored runs in the game and Diaz had one RBI.
