Brett Haan and Matt Frawley, have had up-
and-down performances with ERAs of 4.50
and 4.64 in conference play, respectively. Nei-
ther has received much help in terms of run
support, and the bullpen has faltered at times
with just three relievers with ERAs under 5.40.
"It's easier to pitch when you have some
runs on the board," Strong said. "We're really
stressing right now to put some runs up and
help our pitching staff out. They've had some
really good outings and
the offense has struggled."
Strong said the dug
-
out has maintained a posi-
tive attitude through the
losing streak and the Boil-
ermakers are confident
they can salvage the sea-
son with half of the Big Ten
slate still remaining.
"We know we're a
good enough team to
make some noise in the
Big Ten this year," Strong
s a i d .
" T h e
first half
of this
Big Ten season hasn't re-
ally fazed it. We're learning
from it and we're going to
get better from it."

Track and field coach
Lonnie Greene believed his
team was primed for a big
2015 outdoor season.
"We have some
great events outdoors,"
Greene said follow-
ing the Big Ten Indoor
Championships. "We be-
come a better team on
both sides."
The Boilermakers
have lived up to Greene's
expectation so far.
Five school records have fallen in six out-
door meets, with three coming in events not
offered in the indoor season.
