Baseball
By the time the IU baseball team showed up to the Creighton University practice field for batting practice Tuesday afternoon, Tracy Smith was cracking jokes, Chad Clark couldn't wipe a smile off of his face and the starters enjoyed making the bench players pick up all the balls in the batting cage after a friendly end of practice competition.
With the tying run at third base, Basil sent a dribbler off the end of his bat to Mississippi State's Jonathan Holder to end the game, sending IU to its first loss of the NCAA Tournament, falling 5-4 to Mississippi State.
OMAHA, Neb. -- Five or so feet higher, and they might still be playing.
The loss sends IU to an elimination game against Oregon State Wednesday at 8 p.m.
