BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Impactful hits from the bottom of the order helped visiting Iowa (24-16, 8-11 B1G) to a big 12-2 win over the Indiana Baseball team (19-23, 6-13 B1G) on Friday (April 24) evening at Bart Kaufman Field. A trio of multi-run home runs allowed Iowa to ride the momentum to the finish line in the series opener of a massive conference weekend in Bloomington.

Graduate student southpaw Tony Neubeck (L, 5-4) was hit hard at home for the first time this season. He gave up seven runs in just four innings of work. He had just two strikeouts while tossing 73 pitches in a pair of trips around the order. Redshirt junior right-handed pitcher Jacob Vogel worked a pair of scoreless frames out of the bullpen but a two-run blast from Iowa in the seventh inning put an end to any comeback ideas.

IU's offense compiled nine hits but mustered just two runs. Freshman designated hitter Owen ten Oever had a pair of base knocks – including an RBI single in the fourth inning. Sophomore outfielder Caleb Koskie extended his hitting streak to 22-straight games, the longest streak by any IU player since game-by-game stats have become regularly available (since 2005). Sophomore outfielder Cole Decker and sophomore first baseman Jake Hanley joined ten Oever with multi-hit efforts.

The Hoosiers will look to even the series tomorrow (April 25) afternoon at Bart Kaufman Field. Sophomore southpaw Brayton Thomas will get the ball in the middle game of the weekend. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. on B1G+.

Inside the Box Score
• Iowa scored eight of its 12 runs on home runs. That includes three multi-run long balls in the win.
• IU's pitching staff only walked two batters but gave up 15 hits and hit three Hawkeyes.
• Jake Hanley, Cole Decker and Owen ten Oever all had multi-hit games.

Notes to Know
• Sophomore outfielder Caleb Koskie returned to the lineup on Friday evening. He recorded a hit and had a pair of walks in the defeat. The infield hit extended his hitting streak to 22-straight games. Since individual game-by-game stats became regularly tracked (since 2005), it is the longest single-season hitting streak by any IU player. Records before 2005 have not been found in totality.

• Redshirt junior right-handed pitcher Jacob Vogel provided a pair of scoreless frames in relief out of the IU bullpen. The outing was the 49th of his career. In those career appearances, 35 of them have been scoreless efforts. He has an all-time strikeout-to-walk ratio of 58-24 in three seasons with the Hoosiers.
