After Indiana’s Devin Taylor unleashed a frozen rope throw to second base to retire Purdue’s Breck Nowik on an unconventional 7-4 putout, Ryan Kraft pumped his fist, walked into the third-base dugout and received hugs from his teammates.
Indiana baseball won a crucial series over Maryland from April 18-20 at Bart Kaufman Field in Bloomington. It took home a come-from-behind win in the series opener and shook off a Saturday beatdown to take two of three games versus Maryland, which swept Indiana when the two last met in Bloomington in 2023.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more brutal one-two punch than what Indiana baseball experienced last week. Between blowing a 12-3 lead in the rubber match versus USC on March 29 and suffering an ugly, five-error loss to No. 18 Louisville on April 1, the Hoosiers got punched in the mouth.
There aren’t many freshmen in college baseball as imposing as Indiana’s Jake Hanley. Standing at 6-foot-6, 235 pounds, he is the team’s biggest position player by height and weight. He plays like the oldest, too – he’s one of three Hoosiers to start every game this season. Less than halfway through his first campaign, the Mason, Ohio native has shown the poise of a seasoned veteran.
Indiana baseball (13-11, 5-4 Big Ten) had UCLA in a rare spot last weekend — the Bruins dropped just their third home game in 15 tries on Friday night and were in danger of losing their first conference series of the season. Jeff Mercer’s team took advantage of season-best performances from starter Ryan Kraft (4.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R) and reliever Cole Gilley (4.2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 6 K) en route to a 5-1 victory. Devin Taylor, Korbyn Dickerson and Tyler Cerny — all likely suspects — hit home runs in Friday’s win.
After a 10-run victory over Ohio State in game one of Friday’s doubleheader, Indiana freshman Hogan Denny strode to the plate during the nightcap for the biggest at-bat of his young college career.
With an 0-2 home record, the Hoosiers have yet to win at Bart Kaufman Field this season
After a puzzling midweek loss versus Northern Kentucky that dropped Indiana to 6-7, the Hoosiers are set to begin Big Ten play with a three-game series at Penn State (9-1) beginning at noon Friday. Penn State burst onto the scene and made a run at the conference tournament title in Omaha last May. The Nittany Lions returned most of their offensive firepower and entered this year with NCAA Tournament aspirations.
Indiana baseball went 3-1 in its final non-conference weekend series of the season in DeLand, Florida, picking up two mercy-rule wins over Mount St. Mary’s and splitting two games with Stetson. The Hoosiers improved to 6-6 after scoring 50 runs in their latest four-game stretch, racking up 19 extra-base hits and 24 walks.
Indiana baseball returned to Bloomington looking to parlay the momentum from a 3-0 weekend in Cary, North Carolina into a midweek victory over Xavier. Instead, the Musketeers got the better of the Hoosiers for the second time in 11 days, taking advantage of three Indiana errors, five hit batsmen and two crucial inning-ending double plays en route to an 8-4 victory.
Before Indiana’s season-opening trip to Surprise, Arizona, head coach Jeff Mercer acknowledged that his team’s defense would not be up to par. The Hoosiers committed seven errors in four games, dropping a pair of contests against UNLV, losing in extra innings to Xavier and being shut out by No. 7 Oregon State. Indiana is 0-4 for just the second time in Mercer’s seven-year tenure.
As usual, Indiana baseball has no shortage of tough tests on its non-conference schedule this season. Kicking off the campaign is the Sanderson Ford College Baseball Classic in Surprise, Arizona. The Hoosiers bookend a four-game weekend with tilts against UNLV, and sandwiched between a pair of games against the Rebels are resume-boosting opportunities against Xavier and No. 7 Oregon State.
Before Indiana men’s basketball tipped off at No. 11 Michigan State, head coach Mike Woodson made a pair of lineup changes. Veteran guard Trey Galloway replaced sophomore Myles Rice as the point man and sharpshooter Luke Goode replaced Malik Reneau. Ironically, it was Indiana’s two big men that led them to a 71-67 upset win — Woodson’s first victory at the Breslin Center in his last trip to East Lansing.
If one thing is at a premium in college baseball, it is pitching depth. It’s not unique, but this is the reality for Indiana. Entering his seventh season at the helm, Jeff Mercer’s squad has all the offensive firepower to make a run at the Big Ten title and its third straight NCAA tournament appearance. The question lies in whether the Hoosiers can stay healthy — last year, they didn’t.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Curt Cignetti facilitated the greatest single-season turnaround in college football history. He turned one of the nation’s biggest punching bags into a College Football Playoff team in one season with a cast of overlooked Power Four players and Group of Five standouts, earning countless coach of the year honors for his efforts. That said, No. 10 Indiana’s 27-17 loss at No. 7 Notre Dame in the first round of the Playoff showed that good coaching only goes so far without high-end talent.
When No. 10 Indiana (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) visits No. 7 Notre Dame (11-1) to open the College Football Playoff on Friday night, it will put an end to months of chatter and speculation about whether or not the cream and crimson-clad Hoosiers belong amongst the big boys of college football.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – On Dec. 11, 2023, X user Drew Janda wrote in a now-famous post, “The haters said I couldn’t do it. And they were correct.”
Two weeks removed from taking down Michigan to improve to 10-0 for the first time ever, Wolverine fans are undoubtedly rooting for No. 5 Indiana (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) as it visits No. 2 Ohio State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) for a game that features massive conference title and College Football Playoff implications.
Indiana football and head coach Curt Cignetti have agreed on a contract extension, according to IU Athletics. Per release, Cignetti will earn an average annual salary of $8 million with an additional $1 million retention bonus.
Indiana hosts Michigan in a marquee matchup between an unbeaten powerhouse and a middle-of-the-pack team mired in an identity crisis. In the past, Michigan would be the former and Indiana the latter, but the maize and blue are a far cry from the group that hoisted the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy 11 months ago. So too, are the Hoosiers, who got walloped 52-7 when they traveled to Ann Arbor last year.
