Indiana came into the weekend with the worst ERA in the Big Ten. Purdue came into the weekend with a bullpen that was struggling mightily. That meant there was going to be some offense between the Boilermakers and Hoosiers.
There was definitely some offense.
Purdue got the best pitching performance of the weekend by far in the opener from starter Jackson Smeltz, then Sunday’s doubleheader lasted more than eight hours and had a ton of hits. In the end, Purdue was able to barely hang on for a much needed conference series win.
Saturday
Purdue 17, Indiana 0
No, that is not a typo.
