Terre Haute, IN 47809 3 2012 Season In Review The 2012 season began with 10 straight road games for the Indiana State baseball team, with trips to Hammond, Louisiana, for three games with Southeastern Louisiana, Huntsville, Alabama, for four games in a tournament hosted by Alabama A&M, and Richmond, Kentucky, for a three-game set with Eastern Kentucky. Indiana State went 6-4 in their opening road swing as junior Robby Ort paced the team early in the season, going 20-for-40 (.500) at the plate with five doubles, three home runs and 15 runs batted in through ISU’s first 10 games. Indiana State’s 11-10 win over Eastern Kentucky sparked a 13-game win streak for the team, a span that stretched from March 4-23. The Sycamores swept their six-game homestand at Bob Warn Field, in- cluding a 10-0 victory over Eastern Illinois and a 13-8 win over in-state rival Indiana. Freshman Kyle Rupe turned in 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings against EIU, before ISU scored in seven of their eight innings at the plate against the Hoosiers. Indiana State completed the Robby Ort homestand sweep by winning three games over Tennessee Martin and First Team All-MVC one game with SIU Edwardsville. Saint Patrick’s Day Weekend sent ISU to San Antonio, Texas, as the Sycamores took part in Notre Dame’s annu- al tournament in the Lone Star State. Clutch pitching and hitting led ISU to a four-game sweep of the tournament. Indiana State defeated Kansas, 2-1, in the opening game of the tournament, before senior Kyle Burnam delivered a walkoff win in game two as ISU topped Houston Baptist, 4-3. ISU and Notre Dame battled for the tournament title over the next two days, with the Sycamores winning 6-4 in 10 innings on Saint Patrick’s Day before taking home the tournament trophy with a 6-1 victory on Sunday. Redshirt junior Koby Kraemer hit a two-out, two-run triple in the 10th inning on Saint Patrick’s Day to defeat the Fighting Irish before Rupe allowed just three hits over 6.2 innings on Sunday to Notre Dame as ISU finished off the tournament sweep. ISU’s 12th consecutive win came on the road at Missouri, as the Sycamores pounded out 18 hits and 15 runs in a 15-1 win in Columbia, Mo. ISU carried their 12-game winning streak into Missouri Valley Conference play, opening the league season with a three-game set at in-state rival Evansville. Junior Dakota Bacus led ISU to a win on Friday night, striking out a season-high 13 batters while tossing nine shutout innings on the mound. Indiana State’s winning streak would come to an end on Saturday as the Purple Aces rallied for a 3-2 win with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but ISU took the series on Sunday behind six shutout innings from junior Ryan Torgerson as the Sycamores won 6-0. The Sycamores moved to 5-0 in midweek action the following week, picking up a 21-1 win over Illinois Springfield in Terre Haute before defeating in-state foe Ball State, 14-3, in Muncie, Ind. Freshman Landon Curry provided the power for ISU against Ball State, hitting a grand slam in front of his high school teammates from Norwell High School during the contest. Indiana State played their first home conference series the following weekend, taking two out of three games from Illinois State as the Syca- mores improved to 23-6 on the season. Extra-inning games were prevalent dur- ing the beginning of 2012 Irish Baseball Classic Champions 4 2012 Season In Review April, as ISU played five extra-inning games out of nine total contests from April 3-17. Indiana State earned an 8-7 win in Chicago over UIC on April 3, as 10 ISU relievers combined to pitch in the 12-inning game. ISU hit the road to Omaha, Neb., for three games with Creighton, earn- ing a 6-3 win over Friday and a 2-0 win on Saturday in 12 innings. ISU was no-hit for nine complete innings by Creighton’s Erik Mattingly, but senior Lucas Hileman kept the game scoreless by throwing out a runner at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning. Senior Jon Hedges sup- plied the offense, knocking a two-run single with two outs in the 12th inning to give ISU their only runs of the game. For just the second time in the season, ISU lost back-to-back
