WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A brief lead in the sixth inning was the lone bright spot in a disappointing end to a weekend sweep at the hands of in-state rival Purdue. The Indiana Baseball team (21-30, 7-20 B1G) dropped an 11-8 contest on Sunday (May 10) afternoon at Alexander Field. With the defeat, IU's run of 12-straight Big Ten Tournament appearances comes to an end.

It was IU that had to come from behind in the weekend finale. Freshman right fielder Owen ten Oever (two-run) and freshman second baseman Landen Fry (three-run) each hit home runs in the sixth inning as the visitors crawled out of an early hole. Fry and sophomore shortstop Cooper Malamazian each had multi-hit efforts in the contest.

After using a majority of its bullpen arms in the first two games, Purdue jumped all over the IU pitching staff. Redshirt junior right-handed pitcher Jacob Vogel kept the game tight in the middle innings before coming out of the game in the bottom of the sixth. Gradaute student right-handed pitcher Kaden Jacobi (L, 1-2) would come in and allow the inherited runner, and one of his own, to score as Purdue took the lead back. A three spot in the seventh provided the Boilermakers all the support they would need.

A tough weekend comes to a close with IU getting outscored by just six runs in the three losses. It's the first time that IU has been swept by its rival since the 2011 campaign. The year will come to a conclusion next weekend in the regular season finale against Illinois (May 14-16).

Notes to Know
• Freshman second baseman Landen Fry hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the sixth inning of Sunday's game. It was only his second home run of the year but both have been extremely impactful. He had a sixth inning home run in the Sunday contest at Nebraska that briefly tied the game.

• Sophomore outfielder Cole Decker laced a double to right field to extend his hitting streak to seven-straight games. His streak is the longest active one on the team and is the second best in his young career (9 – April 5-18, 2026) this season.
