For just the second time ever, Purdue baseball has an NCAA Tournament win. The Boilermakers took advantage of a wild North Carolina A&T pitching staff to turn a 3-2 deficit in the top of the fourth into a 14-4 win. It is Purdue’s first NCAA win since beating Valparaiso in the first game of the 2012 tournament and the 38th win of the season gives this group the second most wins in any single season in school history, trailing only the 45 wins by the 2012 team.
Purdue got a pair of runs in the first when Harry Shipley led off with a single and scored on a double from Skyler Hunter.
