Hoosiers Race Past Ohio, 17-2
4/22/2023 5:00:00 PM | Baseball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – On a windy Saturday (April 22) afternoon at Bart Kaufman Field, the Indiana baseball program collected a 17-2 decision over Ohio to earn its seventh straight series victory and its sixth straight win overall. The Hoosiers also continue their success at Bart Kaufman Field in 2023 with a venue-high-tying 21st win at home.
Ohio (15-19) opened the scoring for the second straight day with a single run in the second inning, before Indiana (29-11) put up four runs in the second and two in the third to build a 6-1 lead. A solo home run from Ohio in the sixth inning was followed by a three run bottom half of the frame for IU and a four-run eighth accounted for the final margin.
Sophomore Josh Pyne posted his second career four-hit game and added a pair of RBIs for his eighth multi-RBI game of the season. Freshman Tyler Cerny drove in a career-best six RBIs in his first career multi-home run contest as part of a three-hit afternoon. Sophomore Brock Tibbitts added his 14th multi-RBI game of the season with three RBIs and now has an RBI in four straight games.
Senior Phillip Glasser moved his reached base streak to 40 games and sophomore Carter Mathison pushed his streak to 13 straight on base with a home run, single and two walks. Redshirt junior Bobby Whalen and freshman Devin Taylor each extended hitting streaks to nine games, while Taylor has reached base in 28-striaght contests.
A career-high seven innings of work for starting pitcher Luke Sinnard (4-1) included four hits and two runs allowed. The right-hander walked two and struck out eight to earn the victory. Senior Ben Seiler fired the final two innings and allowed two hits with two strikeouts.
For Ohio, Will Sturek and Colin Kasperbauer each hit solo home runs and four other Bobcat hitters posted hits in the contest. Colin Sells (1-2) took the loss with six runs allowed over 2 1/3 innings in a start.
