Summary
Purdue baseball stunned everyone this season, finishing tied for fifth in the Big Ten after being projected to finish dead last—thanks to a historic 20 home wins and a seven-game home winning streak, including a sweep of Indiana since 2011. But despite all that, they fell just short of NCAA tournament selection, dropping from a potential top-four seed after losing their final series to Iowa. Alongside Michigan, they were left out in the cold as only four Big Ten teams—UCLA, Nebraska, USC, and Oregon—made the cut. With stats that didn’t pop enough for the committee, Purdue’s heartbreak is a reminder that even the most unexpected successes can still fall short of the ultimate goal.
