Indiana Student Paper: IU not satisfied headed into Big Tens
UncleLar Take:
This will definitely be a strength vs strength game – IU’s powerful offense, led by unanimous All Big Ten choice catcher Josh Phegley, against PSU’s pitching, led by Mike Wanamaker and Drew O’Neil.
If the Nits need any incentive, they should post this on their dugout wall
On paper, the Hoosiers seem the better team, besting the Nittany Lions by a wide margin in hitting while only standing one place behind Penn State in Big Ten pitching. The Hoosiers’ improved defense over the last third of the regular season even moved them to ninth in the Big Ten, one spot ahead of new cellar-dweller Penn State.
Bold words for a team that was swept 4-0 by the Nits.
