Indiana secured a series victory over Michigan with an 8-4 win in Friday’s regular season finale at Bart Kaufman Field. Jasen Oliver hit two home runs, and four pitchers held Michigan to just three hits.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana finished the regular season Friday against Michigan with a well-rounded performance.
With this win, Mercer and the Hoosiers enter postseason play with a 30-22-1 overall record and a 15-9 mark in Big Ten play. Indiana clinched the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, which begins Tuesday in Omaha, Neb. The Hoosiers are squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble, as they entered the Michigan series ranked No. 63 in the 64-team field, per“Moale is a real thing,” Mercer said. “Going into it with a little confidence, you feel good.
That would be it for Risedorph, who gave the Hoosiers three solid innings. He allowed just one hit, one unearned run, zero earned runs, zero walks and struck out four. Lefty Ryan Kraft was the first Hoosier out of the bullpen, and he retired Michigan in order in the fourth. But the Wolverines got to Kraft in the fifth, thanks to a two-run home run from Kyle Derneddee to left field, which cut Indiana’s lead to 6-3. Kraft finished with two runs allowed in 1.2 innings of work.
Decker-Petty walked two batters, and Jonathan Kim reached on a throwing error from Oliver to load the bases with two outs. Michigan’s Mitch Voit drove the ball deep to left field, but Taylor caught the third out with his back just inches from the wall. A grand slam would have made it a one-run game, but instead the Hoosiers exhaled as they escaped a jam with an 8-3 lead.
