The opening weekend of Hoosier Baseball has come and gone. In four games played in South Carolina, Indiana finished with a record of 3-1, the lone loss coming to a good Oklahoma Sooners team. On the other hand, the Hoosiers chalked up victories against Kansas State, South Alabama, and Coastal Carolina. Those last two wins are big ones, as they came against a pair of teams that could be competing for NCAA Tournament bids and could be highly ranked in RPI later this season. Let’s take a look at some of the ups and downs of the weekend.
