TicketsBLOOMINGTON, Ind. – University of Cincinnati baseball fell 7-1 at Indiana on Tuesday in the team's first midweek game of the season.
// NOTABLES
• Jeremy Johnson went 2-for-4 at the plate and added in a stolen base

• Drake Batcho was tagged with the loss after going 2.1 innings in the start with three runs, three hits, five walks and two strikeouts
• Nathan Moore pitched 2.0 solid innings in relief with no runs, one hit, one walk and three strikeouts

• Korren Thompson threw the final inning and faced the minimum
// KEY INNINGS
Bottom of the 1st
• Batcho started his day on the mound with two strikes but gave up a leadoff homerun. Indiana then put two runners on, but a double play ended the inning
Top of the 2nd
• Bremner led off with a four-pitch walk, stole second and scored on a RBI single up the middle by Cole Murphy
Bottom of the 3rd
• The game did not stay tied long as Indiana posted a four-run frame. It started with a walk and single and a double to left center cleared the bases. Two more runs came in on a homerun to left during the next at-bat
