Did you go to the IU vs Maryland college baseball game? If you didn't, that is why I am telling you about it. If you did then you can just read this to see if iām right. There were a lot of homeruns and good plays. Some of the good plays I didn't put on, because I didn't have time to. Now I will tell you the plays that happened.
First Bobby Whalen (IU) hits one deep in left-center field and gets a double. Then a pitch gets behind the catcher and Bobby steals third and makes it. So then the first homerun hit that I saw was Luke Shilger who hit it off of Luke Sinnard (IU). Then Matt Woods (Maryland) hits a grounder to second and Tyler Cerny dives for it and makes the play to first. Another good play was when Josh Pyne (IU) hit a foul ball way in the air and the pitcher caught it. Then Matt Shaw (Maryland) hits a homer off of Luke Sinnard.
This is Luke Sinnard pitching.
This is Andrew Johnson warming up.
Then Elijah Lambroos (Maryland) hit it to center field who caught it and then Elijah Lambroos (Maryland) hit it to center field who caught it. Another good play was when Hunter Jessee (IU) hits it to third who misses it and Hunter makes a single. Then Peter Serruto (IU) hits it to left field who makes the catch. Ethan Phillips (IU) then picks off first and misses and someone makes it to home and the guy on first makes it to second.
Then Eddie Hacopian (Maryland) hits it to short who misses it and Eddie makes it to first with bases loaded. Matt Woods then hit a grand slam. Then Elijah lambroos hits it to short who misses it again and Elijah makes it first. Two more homeruns were hit after. One was by Ian Petrutz (Maryland) who hit a homer off of Luke Hayden. The other one was by Carter Mathison (IU) who hit a homer off of Andrew Johnsons.
Kyle McCoy, Luke Sinnard, And Ethan Phillips all got hit by a pitch. On IU Luke Sinnard got 10 hits, Ethan Phillips got 5 hits, Gabe Levy got 2 hits, and Luke Hayden got 3 hits. On Maryland Kyle McCoy got 16 ground outs, Ryan Van buren got 0 ground outs, Andrew Johnson got 0 ground outs, and Logan Otto got 1 ground out. On IU Luke Sinnard got 7 foul outs, Ethan Phillips got 0, Gabe Levy got 0, and Luke Hayden got 1. On Maryland Kyle McCoy got 3 foul outs, Ryan Van buren got 2, Andrew Johnson got 0, and Logan Otto got 1.
The final score was 16 to 2 with Maryland winning. This was a hard game for IU as you can tell. IU had a lot of great hits but Maryland's defense was too good.
This is Maryland high-fiving themselves.
