In his ninth start of the year, IU's Joey DeNato went toe-to-toe with Michigan State's starter Tony Buccifero in a matchup of two of the Big Ten's best pitchers. In seven strong innings, DeNato allowed two runs on seven hits, while striking out three and walking one. Throughout the contest, DeNato worked in a variety of breaking balls to complement the command he had on his fast ball.

In this video, DeNato talks about the Hoosiers' ninth inning rally, what pitches were working for him on the mound and about his extra little motivation to beat the school that his father and uncle graduated from.
