Purdue

Purdue has a stellar start of the season with a 15-game winning streak. They are 11-0 on natural ground, 3-0 at home, and 1-0 on away games.

The team can also run the bases as they racked 34 stolen bases so far. Mike Bolton Jr. leads the base-stealing with 10 stolen bases.

 

Illinois State

On the other hand, the host for Thursday's game has not had a significant performance. The Redbirds are 6-6 overall and coming off from a 2-game losing streak.

But, Illinois State might have some confidence to face Purdue as they opened the 2022 season with a 3-2 victory over Arkansas. The loss marked the first time the second-ranked Razorbacks lost their home season-opening since 1994.
