It looked like the Hoosiers were on the verge of a potential nightmare just two hitters into the Bottom of the 1st inning on Friday in Nashville. A few pitches later, Indiana got a glimpse of the fortune it would have with the inexperienced Highlanders.
Here's the glimpse:
Actually, there were two glimpses. One was the triple play, obviously. The other, and more subtle glimpse, was the strike out. It was a look into the Hoosiers' immediate future, because over the next two hours, Kyle Hart was dealing.
The junior ace allowed two hits to start the ballgame, but after that retired 14 of the next 16 Radford hitters and had faced just one more than the minimum through six innings.
