SURPRISE, Ariz. – As the college baseball season gets going, the Indiana Baseball team (0-3) has yet to find any rythym at the plate. The Hoosiers were one-hit and held scoreless by No. 7 Oregon State in a 6-0 loss on Sunday (Feb. 16) afternoon at Surprise Stadium.

Through three games, IU has mustered just eight runs in 28 innings. The Hoosiers have just 18 hits to their name this campaign. Sunday was the first time IU was held scoreless in a game since a 12-0, seven-inning loss against No. 16 Alabama (March 1, 2024) at the Frisco Classic last season.

IU's pitching staff managed to keep a potent Oregon State offense quiet for most of the game. The Beavers scored four off of starter Pete Haas (L, 0-1). But the home team managed just two runs off of IU's bullpen in the final five innings. Redshirt senior pitcher Matthew Bohnert tossed a scoreless inning of relief in his IU debut.

Freshman first baseman Jake Hanley managed the only hit of the day for IU, a line drive single in the eighth inning that landed just in front of the center fielder. The Hoosiers loaded the bases in the eighth but left them stranded for the fifth time this weekend. IU is hitting just .105 (2-19) with runners in scoring position this weekend.

IU will look to salvage the final game of the weekend tomorrow morning (Noon ET) against UNLV. Flo College will handle the broadcast duties on the final day of the Sanderson Ford Collegiate Baseball Classic.
