PISCATAWAY, N.J. – It was a back-and-forth game on Friday (April 15) at Bainton Field, as the Indiana baseball program dropped a 5-3 decision to Big Ten-leading Rutgers. The Hoosiers grabbed the early lead, but the Scarlet Knights late rally proved the difference.
Indiana (13-19, 2-5 B1G) got an unearned run in the third inning before a solo home run from Rutgers (28-6, 9-1 B1G) tied the game. Both teams scored in the seventh and eighth innings, with IU pushing one run across in each frame. The Scarlet Knights tallied one in the seventh and three in the eighth – all unearned – to claim the win.
