Last weekend Minnesota was swept for the second straight series this time against Michigan. Jack Liffrig pitched seven shutout innings in game two and Easton Bertrand batted .556 in the series.
Minnesota and Indiana have played 164 times in program history with the Gophers holding a favorable edge 113-51 all-time. Indiana currently holds a two-game win streak over Minnesota winning both contests played earlier this season 5-2 and 8-1.
At 4-20 Minnesota still sits at last in the Big Ten, looking to gain some kind of momentum this season. The Gophers are 1-9 as the away team this season, dropping a three-game series on the road to Iowa earlier this month.
Indiana heads into the weekend at 15-8 on the year and sole possession of third place in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers are coming off of a two games to one series victory at Northwestern last weekend.
