Schwarber And Purdue

By Micah McVicker

While my feature story about the 2013 IU baseball season -- scheduled to run tomorrow -- covered IU's increased pitching depth, I asked sophomore catcher Kyle Schwarber what he thought about the way the Hoosiers' 2012 season ended. Though Schwarber won Most Valuable Player honors at the Cape Cod League, he anticipates another matchup with Purdue. "It was more kind of goal-oriented for me because the way it ended, the way personally, I made a mistake in the game," he said.
