Hoosiers Dominate in Home Finale
5/11/2025 8:00:00 PM | Baseball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – When head coach Jeff Mercer watched Sunday's (May 11) batting practice, he thought it was as locked in as his team had been all season. Boy, was he correct.
The Indiana Baseball team (29-22, 14-13 B1G) jumped all over in-state rivals Purdue, finishing off the weekend series victory with a 14-4 (F/7) win at Bart Kaufman Field. It marked the third-straight series win over the Boilers and the eighth win in the last 10 tries against the team to the north.
IU took advantage of 13 free passes from Purdue on Sunday afternoon. Redshirt sophomore outfielder Korbyn Dickerson made the visitors pay with a three-run blast that cleared the bullpen in left field. IU's first six runs came off of just one hit.
As the game settled in, IU's bats started to pick up the juice. Freshman shortstop Cooper Malamazian had a pair of RBIs on a double in the fifth and a single in the seventh. The Hoosiers scored six in the seventh inning to bring the run-rule into effect. Freshman first baseman Jake Hanley brought home two on a single and Malamazian finished off the job with a "walk-off" single.
Graduate student right-handed pitcher Cole Gilley (W, 8-3) pitched one inning in Friday's win but was called back to give the Hoosiers some length on Mother's Day. He went six strong innings, allowing just three unearned runs on a home run in the fourth inning. Junior reliever Aydan Decker-Petty (SV, 2) came into the game with the tying run on deck but induced a double play on the only batter he needed to face.
IU's win was the 2,500th in program history – dating all the way back to the 1890's. Mercer has been part of over 200 of those victories and continues the long legacy of successful baseball in Bloomington. Players such as junior outfielder Devin Taylor played likely their final game at Bart Kaufman Field but capped it off with a win.
The final four games of the regular season take IU on the road. First up is the last midweek game of the season on Tuesday (May 13) at Cincinnati. The Hoosiers close the Big Ten campaign at Michigan (May 15-17) before a likely trip to the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha.

Inside the Box Score
• IU's offense took advantage of 13 free passes – scoring the first six runs with just one hit.
• The Hoosier pitchers only allowed one earned run. They only gave up two free passes.
• The top six players in IU's order all had at least one RBI.
• Only three hitters in Purdue's order had a hit.
Notes to Know
• With a win over its in-state rivals, the Indiana Baseball team picked up win No. 2,500 in program history on Sunday afternoon. The Hoosiers also pushed their record over Purdue to 22-9 since the 2014 season. Head coach Jeff Mercer is 13-5 against the Boilermakers.
• Graduate student pitcher Cole Gilley picked up his eighth win of the season with a gutsy six-inning outing against Purdue. He's the first IU pitcher to reach the eight-win mark since Andrew Saalfrank did so in 2019. One more victory would make him the first nine-game winner since 2016 (Kyle Hart – 10).
• Redshirt sophomore outfielder Korbyn Dickerson collected his 75th RBI on Sunday afternoon after scoring four Hoosiers in the series finale. He's just the sixth player in program history with 75 RBIs in a season and the first to do it since future big leaguer Alex Dickerson (75) in 2010.
• IU's pitching staff was as good as it had been all season in the series victory over Purdue. All three starters worked into at least the sixth inning with both Gilley and senior southpaw Ryan Kraft providing quality starts. The Hoosiers worked a 1.80 team ERA and recorded 23 strikeouts to just four walks.
