WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – For the first of five consecutive games at home over a week's time, Purdue Baseball hosts Indiana State for a midweek rematch Tuesday at Alexander Field.
First pitch has been moved up to 4 p.m. ET to maximize sunlight on a day with temperatures expected to be in the 40s.
The Boilermakers are 4-1 in midweek action this season, seeing their eight-game midweek win streak snapped last Tuesday in a 2-1 defeat vs. Northern Illinois.
Purdue has compiled an 8-10 record since defeating ISU on March 4 in Terre Haute. Seven of those 10 losses have come consecutively during a seven-game skid the Boilers aim to snap this week. Tuesday, Purdue also looks to end a nine-game home losing streak vs. the Sycamores that dates back to 2013.
Indiana State is 10-9 since its first meeting with the Boilers, playing common opponents Indiana (L, 9-4), Illinois (L, 8-6), Valparaiso (won 2 of 3) and UIC (won 2 of 3) during that stretch.
Rutgers (April 11-13) and Arizona State (April 14) also visit Alexander over the next week.
