Tuesday saw possibly the biggest matchup of the season at Bart Kaufman Field as IU hosted No. 9 Louisville in its final non-conference game of the regular season. It didn’t disappoint.
A pair of regional rivals, both ranked nationally, went head-to-head in what turned out to be a sloppy contest that Louisville ultimately took 8-7.
It looked like Indiana was going to get a strong start out of true freshman Gabe Bierman after the first inning, but the Louisville area native didn’t last much longer than that. The Cardinals got to him in the top of the second inning, putting up a pair of runs and that was it for him.
