IU falls 5-2 in Lexington: Three Things
Auston Matricardi IU has now lost three of its last four games and the schedule only gets tougher with a weekend series against Michigan up next and a midweek matchup with Louisville following that.On Tuesday the Hoosiers had a chance to get a top-50 RPI win over a rival when they traveled to Lexington to take on Kentucky. They fell flat.
IU (31-17, 12-6 B1G) fell in an early hole as starter Tommy Sommer gave up a pair of runs in the first inning after a walk, a hit batter, and a passed ball that might have bounced off the batter’s foot.
From there the Wildcats (24-24, 6-18 SEC) cruised, going wire-to-wire and winning 5-2.
