BLOOMINGTON, Ind. ––– In the second of two games on the weekend, Indiana fell short on Saturday afternoon at Bowlin Stadium in five innings, losing 12-4.
Nebraska led 4-1 early on before the Cornhuskers scored seven runs in the third inning to pull away and take full control of the game. They finished it off with an RBI single in the bottom of the fifth.
That loss split the weekend series as Indiana won 6-2 last night in Lincoln.
With the loss, Indiana is now 29-13 and 8-8 in the Big Ten
NEBRASKA 12, INDIANA 4 (F/5)
KEY MOMENTS
• Indiana threatened in the top of the first inning when Brianna Copeland singled and Avery Parker and Kinsey Mitchell walked to load the bases. The Hoosiers couldn't capitalize, though.
• Nebraska opened the scoring when Kacie Hoffman scored on an error at home to go up 1-0 in the bottom of the second. Then, Jordy Bahl was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to make it 2-0.
• In the next at bat, Samantha Bland singled through the left side to bring the lead to 4-0.
• In the top of the third inning, Taylor Minnick got the Hoosiers on the board with a solo home run off the right field foul pole.
• Nebraska brought the lead to 10 in the third inning. Ava Bredwell stealing home, RBI singles from Bland, Ava Kuszak and Hoffman along with an RBI double from Lauren Camenzind made it an 11-1 game.
• In the top of the fourth, Parker hit a bases-clearing double to the right center gap to cut into the lead and make it 11-4.
• Camenzind finished the game with an RBI single to shortstop to bring home the winning run and make it a 12-4 run rule in the fifth inning.
NOTABLES
• Indiana is now done with their two, two-game series on the season. They previously played a two-gamer against Iowa at home (March 15-16).
• Avery Parker (3) and Taylor Minnick (1) each charted RBIs.
• Minnick's home run was her 40th of her career.
• Indiana has seven regular season games remaining.
