WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue baseball's six-game homestand and home-heavy stretch of 15 of 18 games at Alexander Field continues with a visit from Penn State as the teams square off as part of Jackie Robinson Day weekend for the second year in a row.
First pitch at Alexander Field is set for Friday at 6 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. The stellar spring weather featuring high temperatures in the 70s is forecasted to continue through Saturday evening.
Weather has impacted the weekend each of the last three times Purdue and Penn State have squared off at Alexander dating back to the final weekend of the 2015 season. Since 2018, the Nittany Lions have actually played more games vs. Minnesota at Alexander (four) than it has against Purdue (three).
The Boilermakers have won three consecutive series openers in Big Ten play for the first time since the first three weekends (all sweeps) of the program's memorable 21-2 stretch in the second half of the 2018 campaign. Since 1991, Purdue teams have won three straight Big Ten series openers 13 times. Only one of those teams (2002) finished worse than .500 in league play.
WEEKEND #4 OF BIG TEN PLAY
• Penn State (1-5) at Purdue (5-4)
• Northwestern (3-3) at Nebraska (4-2)
• Indiana (7-2) at Illinois (3-6)
• Maryland (4-2) at Ohio State (2-7)
• Michigan (6-3) at Rutgers (2-4)
• Iowa (2-4) at Minnesota (3-3)
• Western Illinois at Michigan State (6-3)
This weekend sets up as a crucial series for both teams. Any of the four home weekends in conference play is significant for all Big Ten teams. For Penn State, the overall record is solid at 18-11 as winners of four straight, but PSU has lost five of its first six Big Ten games while playing Michigan and Indiana. Both the Boilermakers and Nittany Lions know the second half of their league schedules are daunting and very similar – at Maryland, vs. Rutgers, at Indiana, vs. Nebraska for Purdue; vs. Iowa, at Rutgers, at Nebraska, vs. Maryland for Penn State. If both teams are to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament like they each did last season, they'll earn it against four of the league's preseason favorites over their final 12 conference games.
Similar to Purdue, the Nittany Lions have eight neutral-site wins but have struggled in true road games (1-6). That lone win came on Opening Day at the University of Miami. But the Boilermakers went into last weekend's series at Minnesota with just one true road win and went on to post 17 consecutive scoreless innings to begin the series, winning two of three.
Penn State scored 10 unanswered runs Tuesday to beat a 23-10 West Virginia team in Central Pennsylvania, rallying back from a 6-1 deficit.

5.) Chris Detrick (1978-81) – 57
PITCHERS TO WATCH FOR PENN STATE
• While the starting pitching has carried the load for Purdue over the first three weekends of Big Ten play, Penn State is relying on five pitchers that have combined to work 165 of the 256 innings (64%) over the first 29 games with starter/reliever roles being less defined. Jaden Henline (3.15 ERA, .227 B/Avg in 34 1/3 IP) is confirmed as the series-opening starter and has made each of his three starts over the last three weekends. Steven Miller (37 K vs 8 BB in 30 IP) is PSU's most-used reliever but has started a game. Daniel Ouderkirk leads the team with 49 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings and has yet to pitch in relief. Travis Luensmann (2.70 ERA, .181 B/Avg in 36 2/3 IP) has five wins and a save in his eight appearances, including five starts. Jordan Morales (4.99 ERA, .248 B/Avg in 30 2/3 IP) is the lone lefty of the quintet. The Boilermakers faced all but Ouderkirk, a grad transfer from West Virginia, in Central Pennsylvania last year.
ROTATION HELPS PURDUE WIN 3 STRAIGHT SERIES OPENERS, POST 18 CONSECUTIVE SCORELESS INNINGS
• The weekend rotation is a big reason why the Boilermakers have been able to open Big Ten play at 5-4 despite a 6-12 rough patch overall dating back to March 10.
• Khal Stephen and Jonathan Blackwell both kept Minnesota off the scoreboard in their outings last weekend in Minneapolis. Purdue won the series opener 3-0 and blanked the Gophers until the eighth inning in game 2. From the ninth inning April 4 vs. Evansville through the eighth inning April 8 at Minnesota, Purdue enjoyed a streak of 18 consecutive scoreless innings. It was the program's longest streak since a stretch of 22 straight vs. Valparaiso and Penn State in March 2019. The 22 zeros posted by Boilermaker pitchers on the weekend were the team's most in a Big Ten road series since March 2018 at Penn State (23), which also featured the last road shutout in league play.
• Stephen, Blackwell and Kyle Iwinski teamed up to surrender just five runs on 14 hits over 19 1/3 innings vs. Northwestern in the first home weekend at Alexander Field. The trio's 14 strikeouts vs. two walks was among the most impressive accomplishments. They posted a combined 15 zeros and Purdue had 19 scoreless innings for the series.
• Blackwell has worked at least five innings in each of his first eight starts as a Boilermaker. That's a rare feat that had not been achieved by a Purdue pitcher since 2017 and done only twice before (Gareth Stroh in 2017, Jordan Minch in 2014) in the program's Alexander Field era (since 2013). Coincidentally, each of the last three pitchers to do it have been lefties.
