The Cards lost a winnable game to IU 9-5, on a very windy day. Surprised there was only one HR. HR given up to IU was a hanging pitch.
This was not the same IU team that whooped us 16-1 in March. They are not as good as the IU teams from the past two years. This was a completely winnable game.
Have to take 2 of 3 from NIU at home this weekend to get to 30 wins.
- Pitching staff looked mediocre. Gave up 14 hits to a good hitting team, but we had trouble hitting spots. Walked 7, 1 HBP. Of the 7 innings I saw, I think we allowed 1st batter on base 5 times.
- Poor field play allowed IU to stay at bat with two outs on several occasions, and they produced runs. IU steals 2 of 3 (should've been 3 of 3. Ump missed call).
- Offense did not get a hit until the 4th inning. We seem to want to pull the ball a lot, especially breaking balls. Our RH hitters found the left and middle, but couldn't go to right, and IU was playing us that way.
