Inclement weather on Sunday turned what was supposed to be a three-game series into an abbreviated two-game set.
We’ll count it as a sweep all the same.
IU made the most of both of its opportunities to bounce back from last weekend’s forgettable trip to Ohio State, winning back-to-back games against Illinois. The Hoosiers took Friday’s opener, 6-4, before no-hitting the Illini on Saturday, 8-0.

McCade Brown walked one in the first, loaded the bases in the second, put two on in the third, walked another in the fourth, then left the game after retiring the side in order for the first time Saturday night in the fifth.
It wasn’t the cleanest start of Brown’s career but, coupled with Braydon Tucker’s shutdown four-inning relief effort, it was enough to make Indiana history. Brown and Tucker combined for the Hoosiers’ first no-hitter in nearly 37 years, blanking Illinois in a wet, 8-0 win at Bart Kaufman Field.
