2018 NCAA Baseball Tournament: Houston 8, Purdue 4 - Boilers Eliminated
For five innings today it looked like Purdue was going to move on to the Chapel Hill regional final against North Carolina tonight. Purdue scored twice in the fourth and twice in t he fifth to take an early 4-0 lead against the Cougars. Freshman Andrew Bohm was also pitching brilliantly, and had been the beneficiary of three double plays int he first four innings.
Unfortunately, the bullpen completely melted down.
After Bohm allowed two runners to get on with a single and a walk with one out in the fifth Bo Hofstra came on in relief. A double steal moved runners to second and third, allowing Houston to get its first run on a grounder before Hofstra ended the inning with a strikeout.
