BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University celebrates its annual "IU Day" worldwide for, among many other good reasons, encouraging charitable behavior.

The Hoosier baseball team almost took that too far, however, Wednesday night against arch-rival Purdue.

Indiana pitching issued four walks in the first and three more in the seventh to fuel Purdue rallies, and an IU error kept the Boilermakers alive in the ninth, before Hoosier senior Cade Bunnell capped a 7-6 win in the 10th with a one-out, bases-loaded single.

"Hey, we did our best to keep you guys out all night," IU coach Jeff Mercer quipped to the media post-gamed after his team climbed to 20-12 on the season.
