Four years ago Purdue was in the midst of a program changing season. Now it is at rock bottom.
Purdue has been playing baseball since 1888 and, by no means, is a blue blood in the world of college baseball. It still has not seen as season as bad as this one.
This weekend Purdue traveled to Northwestern, who carried an identical 2-16 Big Ten record into the three game series. The Boilermakers had an excellent chance to win a series or at least win a game.
The Wildcats swept Purdue instead, sealing a last place finish in the Big Ten with one more conference series to go.
