BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A pitchers dual broke out on a sun-splashed Saturday (April 8) afternoon at Bart Kaufman Field and one swing of the bat decided the 2-0 Indiana baseball victory over Iowa.

Redshirt junior Morgan Colopy provided the only runs of the game on a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning for Indiana (21-10, 6-2 B1G). The ball was hit right down the left field line and caromed off the foul pole to set off the IU celebration.

In the top half of the inning, the Hoosiers cut down what looked to be the go-ahead run for Iowa (22-7, 2-3 B1G) at home plate.

It is the third walk-off victory of the season for Indiana and its first walk-off home run since Colin Hopkins hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning against Illinois (April 9, 2021).

Pitching was the main storyline with sophomores Luke Sinnard and Ryan Kraft combining to throw 10 scoreless innings with 17 strikeouts. Sinnard fanned 12 batters over six scoreless frames with just three hits allowed in the no decision. Kraft (3-1) picked up the win with four scoreless innings and five strikeouts.

A 10th-inning single by sophomore Carter Mathison and the Colopy home run were two of only three Indiana hits in the game. Senior Phillip Glasser had the other hit with a fourth-inning single. Mathison reached base twice with a walk to go along with his single and run scored.

For Iowa, Marcus Morgan allowed one hit over five innings in the start. He struck out seven and walked two in a no decision. Zach Voelker (3-1) took the loss with two runs allowed over 4 1/3 innings of work. He allowed two hits, walked two and struck out two. Six different Hawkeyes collected hits in the game, as Brennen Dorighi and Cade Moss each chipped in doubles.
