The Hoosiers failed to clinch the series against the Wildcats as their three-game winning streak ended.
After a brief absence due to injury, the sophomore outfielder homered twice Friday against Abilene Christian.
The Hoosiers tallied five home runs while earning their first road win of the season in conference play.
The Hoosiers led 5-1 before surrendering eight unanswered runs in the final four innings.
That script was turned upside down against the Scarlet Knights.
Indiana found itself on the losing end of a midweek for the first time in 2026.
After being no-hit through four innings, the Hoosiers plated five runs in the fifth en-route to their third-straight win.
Time and time again, the success of Indiana baseball in 2026 is accredited to the contributions it gets from its sophomore class.
The Hoosiers sit 15th out of 17 teams in the Big Ten.
The Hoosiers had an opportunity to clinch the series Saturday but will now look to Sunday’s rubber match instead.
