Zach, Chris, Carl, and Cass discuss a tough series sweep in Iowa City By Carl James @jovian34 April 29th, 2025 Indiana went 1-3 on the week, suffering a series sweep to the B1G leaders in Iowa over the weekend, which shut the door on the Hoosiers chances for a third straight at-large bid to the NCAA Tourney. The week started on a very bright note with a run rule win over a good Ball State team at Victory Field in Indianapolis Wednesday night. The Hoosiers got eight straight batters on base on the way to a 9-run fifth inning. Friday night in Iowa City saw the Hoosiers continue solid play. The pitching was exceptional with Pete Haas and Ryan Kraft combining for 5 scoreless innings to start the series. Gavin Seebold gave up an early solo shot but settled in to keep the Hoosiers tied with Iowa at one-run a piece forcing extra innings. IU’s batters reached base 14 times in the game, but couldn’t get the big hit. Iowa walked it off in the 10th with a 2-strike squeeze play. The rest of the weekend was tough to watch. Hoosier hitting was ineffective at even running up pitch counts and getting on base. Cole Gilley and Ben Grable were hit hard both days. That combination eventually lead to Iowa winning both games by run-rules. Indiana dropped to 9th place and 12-12 in the B1G conference. With 12 teams invited to the tournament, Indiana is still in a pretty good spot to qualify for the only chance they will have to make the NCAA’s: winning the conference’s automatic bid. In former coaching news today, Mississippi State relieved head coach Chris Lemonis of his duties. Lemonis was head coach of the Hoosiers from 2014-to-2018 leading Indiana to 3 regionals in four year. Lemonis won the 2021 National Championship with the Bulldogs, setting a high bar that they have struggled to return to. They also promoted former IU pitching coach Justin Parker to interim head coach for the remainder of the season. YouTube: Audio:
