Taylor Breaks Program Home Run Record in Defeat
4/19/2025 6:00:00 PM | Baseball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – While trying to work through some pitching struggles in the middle of a heavy rainstorm, the Indiana Baseball team (21-18, 11-9 B1G) fell behind early and never recovered on Saturday (April 19) afternoon at Bart Kaufman Field.
Maryland hit five home runs and tallied up 17 runs to even the series in Bloomington with a dominant 17-4 (F/7) victory. The Hoosiers had an early lead on a solo home run from redshirt sophomore outfielder Korbyn Dickerson but 14 unanswered runs from the visitors – heading into a rain delay – made all the difference.
Junior outfielder Devin Taylor got over the hump and broke the program's all-time home run record with a monster blast out of the stoppage. It was his 12th of the season and the 48th of his illustrious career for the Hoosiers. Sophomore infielder Jasen Oliver also got in on the action with a two-run blast.
Graduate student Cole Gilley (L, 7-2) didn't have his normal stuff and struggled with command through the pouring rain. He was able to work just two innings in the start. Underclassmen Seth Benes and Brayton Thomas did a good job of powering through the final four innings out of the bullpen.
IU is now set up to play its fifth rubber match of the year tomorrow (April 20) against the Terrapins. It is still looking for the first win of the season in a series-deciding scenario after losses to Penn State, UCLA, USC and Illinois earlier in the year. First pitch is now set for Noon ET at Bart Kaufman Field.

Inside the Box Score
• Maryland hung 14 runs before the rain delay.
• All four of IU's runs came via the long ball.
• The Hoosiers' pitching staff allowed eight free passes.
• The Terrapins' offense hit five home runs.
Notes to Know
• Junior outfielder Devin Taylor broke the program's all-time home record with his 48th career long ball on Saturday afternoon. He came into the afternoon in a four-way tie for first place but mashed a fast ball to center field to move into sole possession of the school's home run record.
• The 17 runs that IU allowed were the most in a game since giving up 30 to Iowa on the final weekend of the regular season in 2022. Most of the first 14 runs were allowed while IU's pitching staff was trying to work through a downpour of rain on the mound. The Hoosiers needed five arms to get through seven innings on Saturday.
• The Hoosiers are set to play their fifth rubber match in Big Ten play tomorrow (April 20) afternoon. IU has lost all four series-deciding games in conference play this year but will look to break that streak with a big win at Bart Kaufman Field.
Up Next
The weekend set with Maryland finishes up tomorrow afternoon at 12:00 p.m. ET. The game will be streamed on B1G+ and can also be heard on the Indiana Sports Radio Network via IUHoosiers.com/Audio.
