With the game tied and one out in the ninth inning, Michael Basil fell behind in the count 0-2 very quickly and looked a bit overmatched by the first two pitches. Falling behind didn't phase the junior shortstop from Cincinnati, Ohio as he would drill a hard single through the left side of the infield. The single would start a rally for the Hoosiers that culminated with Basil scoring from third on a bases-loaded, two-out wild pitch from MSU's Tony Weiber.

In this video, Basil talks about the late-inning rally that gave the Hoosiers their 16th victory of the season (sixth in Big Ten play), left fielder Will Nolden's spectacular inning-ending throw home to nail MSU's Anthony Cheky and about how IU has been able to win three-straight walk-offs at Sembower Field.
