Indiana Hoosiers: stats | roster
entry by Carl - March 1, 2025, 12:01 p.m.:
Indiana and Stetson will go at it again. Indiana will have Saturday starter Cole Gilley (1-0, 2.61 ERA, 0.79 WHIP) go, despite this being the third game of the weekend.
recap of Friday night's 8-1 Hoosier win
Indiana has played three games in three days and used a lot of pitching. Gilley will be tasked with going deep in this one. It's tough to say who would be available out of the bullpen. Possible candidates are Brayton Thomas, Jacob Vogel, Ryan Kraft, and Matthew Bohnert.
Kraft and Bohnert are rested and experienced, but both have struggled so far this season in limited action. Coaches had high hopes for those two. Bohnert is coming off a year off from injury and Kraft is coming a summer where he dominated in the Northwoods League.

entry by Carl - March 1, 2025, 12:20 p.m.:
Andrew Wiggins now leads the team in on base percentage (.641) and takes over for Joey Brenczewski at lead-off and Designated Hitter. Hogan Denny, who coach Jeff Mercer, touted as the team's best hitter in the fall, returns to the starting lineup in right field. Denny is just 1 for 20 on the season. Hopefully some time on the bench and in the cages has helped him to get right. Schuyler, who filled in for an ailing Jake Stadler yesterday, is back in the starting lineup today. Schuyler had several big hits and threw out a would-be-base-stealer in each of yesterday's games.
entry by Carl - March 1, 2025, 1 p.m.:
Per the IU radio broadcast Brenczewski and Stadler are both dealing with the same "stomach bug" and that is why they are not playing today.

Hanley does work a full count, but Gonzalez has his third 1-2-3 innng of the game. At 84 pitches he may still have another inning in him. Stetson has another game today, so they may want to ride him longer and give Indiana less opportunities against a bullpen righty.
