BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – There's been no hotter hitter in the Indiana lineup than sophomore outfielder Caleb Koskie over the last month. After missing some opportunities earlier in the game, Koskie redeemed himself with an RBI single through the left side to score freshman second baseman Landen Fry. The hit served as the winning run in a 5-4 victory for the Hoosiers (18-22, 6-12 B1G) on Sunday (April 19) at Bart Kaufman Field.

Koskie extended his hitting streak to 21-straight games with a single in the first inning. It's the joint longest streak by any IU player in a single season since 2005 (Alex Dickerson – 2010, Chris Hervey – 2008). Koskie's average has worked up to .387 as he continues to see the ball at a very high level. The win was IU's first one-run victory of the season.

Junior right-handed pitcher Jackson Yarberry provided his best outing as a Hoosier in quick relief on Sunday afternoon. Graduate student southpaw Conner Linn faced the first three lefties in the order before making way to the bullpen. Yarberry recorded a career high eight strikeouts in five scoreless frames. Graduate student right-handed pitcher Gavin Seebold (W, 2-3) got the win while veteran right-hander Reagan Rivera (SV, 2) closed it down.

IU's win handed it a third-consecutive series victory at home this season. The Hoosiers will have a chance to finish off the month of April with a big home series against Iowa next weekend. Up first is a midweek trip to Ball State (April 21) to close out the season series with the Cardinals. First pitch Tuesday is set for 3 p.m.
