Every MSU starter had one hit, but junior Kyle Day produced his team’s only runs with a two-run homer in the sixth inning. The home run cut Indiana’s lead to 3-2, but the Hoosiers responded with five runs in the seventh to build a commanding 8-2 lead.

Now, it looks like the well-traveled hockey coach finally has a home. After five years as an assistant coach for the MSU hockey team, head coach Rick Comley announced Friday the promotion of Renfrew to associate head coach. “Look at my track and how quickly it’s gotten here, it doesn’t happen like this for a lot of guys,” Renfrew said.
