After being eliminated from the six-team Big Ten tournament, IU's baseball team will travel to West Lafayette looking to spoil Purdue's postseason hopes. The four-game series begins Friday, followed by a doubleheader Saturday and before the season finale Sunday. With just four more conference games left for the Big Ten, the Boilermakers presently sit in sixth place in the conference standings with Northwestern looming three games behind in seventh place. If IU sweeps Purdue, or even wins just three of the four games, they will open the door for Northwestern to tie Purdue in conference play and climb to sixth place by virtue of the overall record tie-breaker. In addition to attempting to spoil the Boilermakers' season, this weekend's series is important for the seniors, who would like nothing more than to end their careers on a good note.
