Since the magical 2012 season, when Purdue went 45-14, won its first Big Ten title in 2013 years, its first Big Ten Tournament ever, made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 25 years, hosted a regional, and got its first ever NCAA Tournament win, Purdue baseball has been in a funk. With an early 2-1 lead and Lance Breedlove on the mound Purdue gave up 5 runs in the second inning against Kent State in the winner's bracket final. The Boilers were one strike away from getting out of the inning without giving up so much as a hit, but it all came apart in that inning and the Boilers have struggled ever since.
