No hits, but Purdue plates a run on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch. Indiana clearly has little faith in its bullpen depth and now the Hoosiers are in real danger of this game getting out of hand.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 2:41 p.m.:
Decker-Petty walks the batter trying to bunt on 4 pitches. Bases loaded, nobody out. Decker-Petty is in real trouble.

Indiana's luck gets worse and worse. A hit-and-run is a pitch way outside that Mitchell tries to hit but can't reach. Pyne is thrown out. Mitchell gets a soft two-out hit. Then a would-be gapper is collected via a diving catch. Iwinski completes another shutout inning and the Hoosiers are still behind and haven't seen the bullpen yet.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 2:26 p.m.:
Josh Pyne draws a 4-pitch walk on Iwinski's 88th pitch. A mound visit, but Iwinski remains in the game.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 2:25 p.m.:
Top of the order is up for the third time against Iwinski. Taylor flies out to the warning track yet again. Lots of loud outs for the Hoosiers. They are going to have to find some grass if they expect to compete in this critical game.

Purdue outfield which was a disaster on Saturday, robs a hit from Jake Stadler. It's another 1-2-3 inning for Iwinski. Purdue has to be very happy with how things are going.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 2:14 p.m.:
It's an 8-pitch at bat, but Carter Mathison flies out to center. Iwiniski now at 69 pitches.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 2:11 p.m.:
Indiana really needs to get going offensively in the fifth. This is not a top-notch pitcher the Hoosiers are facing. They can't let him eat more innings. You can't count on late inning heroics in every game.

Hoosiers: 0 runs | 3 hits | 0 errors
Boilermakers: 2 runs | 5 hits | 0 errors

Iwinski gets his second 1-2-3 inning of the game and has held the Hoosiers scoreless through the first four frames. He's mixing pitches up well and now has his pitch under control with about 60 pitches. Depth is critical for Purdue.

entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 1:33 p.m.:
A safety squeeze is fielded by Aydan Decker-Petty but he freezes and is late throwing to first.
My opinion: it's the second inning of a Sunday game with a big Hoosier offense. They are giving you an out. Throw it to first and take it.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 1:31 p.m.:
Like Friday the Hoosiers hand the ball to the guy they expected to carry the bulk of the game's load with a deficit and a baserunner.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 1:29 p.m.:
A productive fly ball puts a runner on third with one out. Dustin Glant is out to make the pitching change. Rybarczyk lasts just 1.1 innings and is responsible for a base runner that will likely score on a contact out. Aydan Decker-Petty is new Hoosier pitcher.
entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 1:27 p.m.:
Both starters looked hittable in the first. Indiana is hoping Rybarczyk can settle in for his second inning as well. Turns out to not be the case as the first pitch fastball is hammered for a double.

Hoosiers: 0 runs | 2 hits | 0 errors

entry by Carl - May 5, 2024, 1:12 p.m.:
Despite being announced as TBA, Indiana again has been consistent with Ty Rybarczyk being the Sunday starter. Purdue hitters are seeing him well with two hard hits to start this one. Runners on the corners with one out.

Great piece of hitting as Devin Taylor hits a 3-1 pitch into left for a single. Josh Pyne lines out on a well hit ball to Mike Bolton Jr in left. Bolton dove to make the catch.

I cannot overstate how important this game is:
1 game out of 1st in B1G Standings
This is a must win for RPI to get into at-large range by end of season as IU can only afford two more losses (must go 7-2 down the stretch)
Big resume to get this one on the road
It's been a long time since the road team has won this rivalry series and even longer since Indiana has won one in West Lafayette.
