Hoosiers Ride Early Barrage, Moore’s Blast to Blow Past Musketeers

CINCINNATI (Interstat) — Will Moore homered and drove in four runs Wednesday as the Indiana Hoosiers defeated the Xavier Musketeers 10-4 at Marge Schott Stadium.

The Hoosiers built a commanding lead early, allowing five relievers to combine for 6 2/3 scoreless innings after the fourth. Gavin Seebold, Conner Linn, Michael Sarhatt and Xavier Carrera each pitched hitless relief.

Xavier’s Ashton Chronister provided a bright spot with three innings of one-run relief. Tommy Townsend had a two-run double for the Musketeers, who finished with nine hits.

Indiana improved to 3-5. Xavier fell to 2-6.
