Starting the season with 19 straight games away from home is never easy, but with a grass field north of the Mason-Dixon Line Purdue often does not have a choice. It regularly means five straight weekends on the road before we can guarantee good enough weather for a home game. The trip is almost over though, and for the baseball Boilers, it can’t come soon enough.
After a solid 8-1 start that included a championship in the Alamo Irish Classic and two wins in the Stetson tournament Purdue’s bats have fallen silent. Last weekend they dropped 2 of 3 at Tulane.
