Miami Falls 13-5 to Hoosiers

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.— The Miami University baseball team dropped Tuesday night's game 13-5 at Indiana University. Tommy Harrison homered for his first collegiate hit to lead the offense for the RedHawks (0-4). The Hoosiers scored seven runs in the third inning en route to evening their season record at 2-2.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After Indiana picked up a run in each of the first two innings, Miami got on the board in the top of the third. Harrison belted a solo homer to cut the deficit to 2-1.
  • IU broke the game open with seven runs in the bottom of the inning, but Miami promptly cut into the lead in the fourth frame. A leadoff Zach MacDonald walk set up five consecutive hits for the RedHawks, including back-to-back doubles from Cooper Weiss and Parker Lester. Weiss' blast off the wall drove in two runs to make it 9-3, with Lester's RBI double then scoring Weiss to pull Miami within 9-4.
  • The home team added a run in the fourth, one in the fifth, and two in the seventh to stretch its lead.
  • Trailing 13-4, Brian Zapp started the top of the eighth with a double to left field. Following a wild pitch by Indiana pitcher Luke Hayden, Zapp moved to third. Weiss followed with an RBI groundout that enabled Zapp to score the final run of the game.
 
NOTES
  • Nick Vardavas made his Miami debut on the mound and struck out four hitters in 2.2 innings. 
  • Weiss finished with three RBI and scored a run.     
  • RedHawk pitchers Connor Preisel and Martin Sosna each threw a scoreless inning in relief.
  • Harrison, Lester and Zapp all recorded multi-hit games for the Red and White.
