Hoosier Notes Before The Series

The Hoosiers continue to be on the outside looking in when it comes to the NCAA Tournament. If college baseball had a Joe Lunardi-esque “Last 4 Out” or “Next 4 Out”, the Hoosiers would likely be on one of those lists at the time of this writing. Indiana needs a series win here against the Wolverines and then needs to put up a good showing in the Big Ten Tournament. All of this is possible. The Hoosiers - per findings from iuhoosiers.com - rank 23rd nationally in on base percentage and rank 1st in the big ten with an OBP of .419. The bats are awake, the talent is on this squad top to bottom, and the urgency is now to keep the ball rolling.


Series Prediction

Going against the predictions from warrennolan.com, the unbelievable resource for all things college baseball, I predict a series win for the Hoosiers. Warren Nolan is predicting a Wolverine sweep, but I see these Hoosiers coming out strong, knowing that they need to improve their resume to make the NCAA Tournament.


Game 1: 8-5 WIN for the Hoosiers

Game 2: 4-1 LOSS for the Hoosiers

Game 3: 10-6 WIN for the Hoosiers


Stay locked in on Hoosier Huddle for all things Indiana University sports. When the big ten baseball tournament comes around at the end of the month, we’ll have expanded baseball coverage as the Hoosiers look to bolster their resume for the NCAA tournament.
