WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The RedHawks took down Purdue Tuesday evening in an extra-innings 5-3 thriller on the road, picking up their first win over a Big Ten team since 2023, which also came against the Boilermakers. Dominic Krupinski had three hits on five at-bats, including the RBI single that gave Miami the lead in the 11th inning. The RedHawks improve to 23-12 with the win, while Purdue falls to 25-11.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The RedHawks were not able to score after loading the bases in the first inning. Jack Geiser recorded three straight outs in the bottom of the first to keep it a tie game.
Miami took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Diego Cruz took first base after an HBP, stole second base and advanced to third base on an error. Matthew Buffington drove him home with a groundout.
Purdue answered with two runs in the bottom of the second. After two HBPs, the Boilers hit an RBI single and a sac fly to take the lead.
The RedHawks took a 3-2 lead in the top of the third. Ignacio Gonzalez reached on a fielding error, and Krupinski singled to put runners at the corners. Ryan Novak sent Gonzalez home with a sac fly and Cruz singled to bat in Krupinski.
Geiser had another one-two-three inning in the bottom of the third to keep the lead.
Purdue tied the game with a solo home run in the fourth.
Geiser, Jake Tedesco and Austin Berggren held the Boilermakers scoreless through regulation. Berggren finished the ninth inning with back-to-back swinging strikeouts.
Pinch hitter Mason Breidenbach doubled in the tenth, and Cruz was intentionally walked, but the RedHawks were unable to score. Marc Iozzo came in to pitch in relief and saw three up, three down to bring the game to inning number 11.
At the top of the 11th inning, Marcus Dierks led off with a double and advanced to third on a single by Evan Appelwick. With nobody out, Tommy Harrison walked and loaded the bases. On a 2-2 count, Krupinski hit a single through the left side, scoring Dierks to take a 4-3 lead. Novak followed with a sac fly, adding an insurance run and making it a 5-3 ballgame.
