The Hoosiers 3-0 Win Clinched the Series

By Micah McVicker

For the first time since Big Ten play began, Indiana won the second contest of a three-game series, as they claimed a 3-0 win against the Georgia Southern University Eagles Saturday at Sembower Field. Freshman starter Kyle Hart worked with a lead for only the second time since then, and he posted the Hoosiers first complete game shutout since senior Drew Leininger did it against Central Michigan in 2010. Scoring in the first inning for the second game of the series, the Hoosiers staked Hart to a 1-0 lead. Hart, who surrendered only five hits, said the change of his approach was minimal. "I generally try to keep a mindset of pitch the same with a lead or without a lead, but it definitely made me more comfortable," he said.

Perfection persists another week

By Micah McVicker

Perhaps a bit more anticlimactic than the prior two, but a wild pitch by Michigan State closer Tony Wieber allowed junior shortstop Michael Basil to score from third, giving the Hoosiers a 3-2 win and their third consecutive walk-off win at Sembower. It was made possible by redshirt freshman left fielder Will Nolden.
