USI wins 11-8, a grind it out game which is how USI will have to win games this year. Bullpen kept EMU in check after bad first inning. Niehaus is red shot to start off the season.

Happy for the win and yes I see every game as a grind it type game. Just keep fighting and maybe we can improve by conference time so we cam be top 8.

Baseball wins the series with EMU with a 3-1 win. Freshmen pitchers shut EMU down, something the rest of the staff couldn’t. It’s going to take some time but some of these young arms appear to be promising.

Peyton Brown hasn’t made an appearance yet for USI. He’s the big 6’10” RHP who transferred from Campbell University. Anyone know if he’s hurt or something? Figured based on the school he came from being a powerhouse that he might be an important part of the pitching staff this year.

Figured based on the school he came from being a powerhouse that he might be an important part of the pitching staff this year. Good question. I was impressed with the true freshman that pitched the other day though. Hoping they can continue to pitch like that going forward. If we can just keep the other teams from scoring more than 5-6 runs per game we have enough bats to compete. We can’t give up 10 plus per game because we probably don’t have enough bats to overcome that much.

Ball State today and it’s going to be a tough game. They have already knocked off two big ten teams this year and barely lost to big12 team by 1 run. We will have to play a perfect game to even stay close imo.

Not sure what to expect because it’s extremely windy today. I’m sure it’s going to have an impact on the ball flight today. If the wind is blowing out it might be a high scoring game with home runs.

Looks like a bullpen game for USI. Last year those games usually ended up being 10+ runs quite frequently.

Thompson-Allen has been really good for us so far, 2 run triple, USI up 4-1.

10-4 Ball State as typical bullpen game leads to a big number of runs. I understand why Arch does it, although I hate giving up potential wins because we lose so many damn games now. But new world we live in only the conference games matter
But trying to recruit when you are 21 games under .500 cannot be easy.

10-4 is the final, USI 7 hits and 12 strikeouts. Not getting any production from 5 positions right now.
