DELAND, Fla. – After a slow start to Sunday's (March 2) contest, the Indiana Baseball team (6-6) scored 14 unanswered runs to pound Mount St. Mary's, 20-7, in a run-rule shortened game. IU scored seven in the fourth inning and five in the sixth inning to bring the 10-run rule into effect at Melching Field.
The Hoosiers picked up six extra-base hits in the victory, capped off by a mammoth three-run home run from redshirt sophomore Korbyn Dickerson. He finished the day with three hits and six RBIs. IU walked 11 times and got hit by five pitches.
Sophomore catcher T.J. Schuyler was tasked with replacing redshirt senior Jake Stadler in the second inning. Stadler returned to the lineup after missing four games through illness. But he was forced to leave the contest after he took a pitch to the eye that deflected off his helmet.
Schuyler made his impact known in his fourth game of the weekend. He smacked a two-run double in the third inning and finished with four runs scored on the afternoon. He finished with five hits in four games in Florida while catching 29 of the 31 possible innings.
Six different players in IU's order had multi-hit efforts. The top four hitters in IU's lineup combined for 11 hits, seven runs, 11 RBIs and six walks. Dickerson, junior outfielder Devin Taylor and freshman first baseman Jake Hanley all had three-hit contests.
IU's pitching struggled through the first four innings but veteran reliever Drew Buhr (Save, 2) came on to settle the score. He threw the final three innings – all scoreless – while striking out four. He lowered his season earned run average to 1.29 across five outings and 14 innings pitched this year.
The Hoosiers closed the weekend with a 3-1 record, picking up a pair of wins over Mount St. Mary's and one against Stetson. IU scored 50 runs in four games while combining for 54 base hits. Despite some inconsistency, the IU pitching staff gave up just 20 earned runs on the weekend.
