ROUND ROCK, Texas – A seven-run third inning helped the Indiana baseball program to a 12-4 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette in its second game of the Karbach Round Rock Classic at Dell Diamond.
The Hoosiers (1-4) scored twice in the second inning to grab an early lead, before a seven-run third inning opened things up. Indiana then added a single run in the sixth inning and two in the seventh. The Ragin' Cajuns (3-3) got single runs in the second and fourth, and two in the seventh to account for their scoring.
Redshirt-junior Jack Perkins (1-0) threw five innings and allowed two runs on two hits to earn his first victory as a Hoosier. The right-hander struck out seven and issued four walks.
Redshirt-junior Matthew Ellis and redshirt-sophomore Morgan Colopy each hit home runs to highlight a 12-run outburst. Redshirt-sophomore Bobby Whalen and freshman Brock Tibbitts each chipped in two-hit games, with Whalen collecting three RBIs on the day.
All nine starters reached base safely in the game, as IU posted nine hits, walked seven times and reached via hit-by-pitch once. Colopy and freshman Carter Mathison joined Whalen with multi-RBI games, as each of them produced two runs batted in.
For Louisiana-Lafayette, Kyle DeBarge and Will Veillon each had two hits, scored one run and drove in one RBI. Peyton Havard (0-1) took the loss on the mound with two innings of work and four runs – three earned – allowed. He struck out two and allowed five hits.
