There weren’t going to be any midweek games this season, but an April rainout with Illinois left Indiana scrambling to coordinate a makeup.
IU finally got the game in on Tuesday — it just didn’t get the result it wanted. Or, frankly, needed. A solo home run by Illinois’ Taylor Jackson in the top of the 10th inning sent the Hoosiers to a 3-2 loss at Bart Kaufman Field, marking the program’s fourth defeat in six games.

The tying run stood on second base when IU pinch hitter Jake Skrine struck out swinging to end the ballgame — a fitting finish on an afternoon when the Hoosiers repeatedly failed to produce with runners on base.
