CINCINNATI – It got a little tense in the ninth inning, but a flyball to center field ended an 11-9 victory for the Indiana baseball program at Cincinnati on Wednesday (April 19) evening at UC Baseball Stadium.

Indiana (27-11) scored in each of the first three innings to build a 7-0 lead, thanks in large part to a five-run second inning. Cincinnati (15-23) got four runs in the bottom of the fifth, but IU got those runs back with four runs in the top of the seventh. The Bearcats put up five runs in the ninth inning to cut into the final deficit.

Senior Phillip Glasser set the top at the top of the lineup with two hits, one walk, one hit-by-pitch and four runs scored in the contest. His first inning baes hit moved his reached base streak to 37 games. Freshman Tyler Cerny had two extra base hits – including a home run - and drove in three RBIs. With three RBIs in a return to his hometown, freshman Devin Taylor now has 11 multi-RBI games on the season, and he hit his ninth home run of the season to move his reached base streak to 27 games.

Freshman Brayden Risedorph (2-0) picked up the win with four scoreless innings of work in the start. He allowed just two hits and struck out a career-high seven batters. Four Indiana relief pitchers allowed nine runs on nine hits with five walks and nine strikeouts.

Kerrington Cross drove in five RBIs in the contest on a 3-for-5 night at the plate and Kameron Guidry drove in two RBIs. Cole Harting and Lauden Brooks each scored two runs, with Brooks posting a two-hit night. Starting pitcher Tommy O'Connor (0-1) took the loss with six runs allowed on three hits over 1 1/3 innings of work.
