Virtually no pitches to swing at in first 3 PA - finally gets an OK pitch to hit & finds the parking lot w/ this swing ⬇️

Brayden Ricketts (DH, @IndianaBase). Impressive weekend from the redshirt freshman. Went 9-for-15 with 2 doubles, 2 HRs, and 7 RBIs.
Here's a couple looks at his first home run today, which was touched and he knew it.
Hogan Denny (C/RF). 4-for-9 today with a double (2nd) and a homer (3rd). Strong kid with bat-speed. Hitting .357/.481/.619. Showed arm strength behind plate and in right.
My official vote for Jax Classic All Tourney Team:
C Mark Quatrani, ND

OF Jake Brown, LSU
OF Drew Berkland, ND
OF Hogan Denny, IU
DH Cade Arrambide, LSU (MVP)

FINAL: Indiana 6, UCF 1
Extremely well-played game across the board for the Hoosiers who plated six runs on nine hits.
Denny 3-4, RBI, 3 R
Crouse 2-4, 2 R
Malamazian 2-2, 3 RBI
IU dominated on the mound, holding the Knights to just three hits. Brayton Thomas and Reagan Rivera combined for the one-run outing.
Thomas 5.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 4 BB, 4 K
Rivera 4.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
First win of the weekend and first win over a power conference opponent. They’ll look to head back to Bloomington with a winning record on the weekend following tomorrow’s contest.
Indiana will take on in-state foe Notre Dame in Jacksonville. First pitch set for 11 a.m.
