Hoosiers Beat PSU, 3-2

by rocksballer58 on Apr 19, 2009 3:15 PM EDT

On Saturday, the Hoosiers made the doubleheader sweep over the Penn State Nittany Lions. They beat them by a score of 3-2. The Hoosiers improved to 18-18 and are now 8-3 in the Big Ten.

In the first game of the series, the Hoosiers won by 14 runs, 15-1. Then in the second game Penn State got them but now the Hoosiers have got them back. Indiana is now one and a half game behind the Ohio State Buckeyes for first place in the Big Ten standings.

Matt Bashore had done brilliant in pitching and so did Chris Squires, who was pretty stellar out of the bullpen. Bashore allowed very small numbers to the Nittany Lions in the seven innings he played in: two runs on six hits and a walk. Squires also did well, picking up his third save of the year, and only allowed one hit.

John Phegley and Alex Dickerson had RBI singles while Brian Lambert had an RBI triple for the Hoosiers. Jerrud Sabourin had two hits in the game. But he wasn't the only one. Dickerson and Lambert had two hits, as well, in the win.

Nittany Lions', Mike Lorentson, did horrible as he allowed ten hits in the five innings he had pitched in. But the damage did get worse.

The Hoosiers did great and are looking to expand as the season goes through. Their record in the Big Ten, 8-3, is the best start they have had since 2002. That is seven years!

Indiana has now earned a split, or better, in each of the last eight Big Ten series, the longest streak out of every other team in the conference! The Hoosiers are 19-7 in their last 26 Big Ten outings.

Pretty good, huh?

The Hoosiers will be going strong on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. On Tuesday, they will be facing, and host, the Louisville Cardinals at four o'clock P.M. Then on Wednesday, they will be traveling to face the Indiana State Sycamores on the same time, four o'clock P.M.

I am a big fan of the Sycamores and Hoosiers, so I would like to see how it turns out. Let's see how the Hoosiers do in the future. They are looking good, maybe great, this year!

More College Baseball for the Hoosiers coming soon!

Hoosiers have a baseball team?

They do have a pretty decent catcher…he played in the Cape league a couple of years ago.

Indiana has the worst campus of all the Big 10 schools IMO

Is there an age limit to post?

This post was by an elementary school kid right?

lol!

Give the kid a break: he’s in the 6th grade BSD Journalism Apprenticeship. Mike/Kevin/Ruts are always trying to expand their blogistani reign, and what better way than to implement a training program? Of course, part of his (her?) training is taking their lumps from we the BSD faithful.

But I’m biased towards tailgating, as you may imagine. -ts

my bad....

I had not seen any of his posts before (just not paying attention) and ended up really confused based on the grammar and the Hoosiercentric focus. G’luck to the kid – there is a joke in there about already being a step ahead since he likely currently lives with his mom but I’m not going to make it! (just kidding guys – you know we all love this blog!)

though I could be wrong :-p

oh....

haha…I’m an idiot. I looked at the profile and he did look to be about 6th grade and had a couple of posts so I thought it seemed plausible that the powers that be greenlighted his posting.
