Top-seeded Hoosiers beat Minnesota 4-2

By Joe Popely

MINNEAPOLIS --- Things got tense in the late innings, but there's no reason to worry with a bullpen like IU's. When it comes to the ninth inning, Ryan Halstead is the one who lets Hoosier fans breathe the ultimate sigh of relief. Halstead closed out Minnesota in the ninth for the school-record 21st save of his career, preserving IU's 4-2 win over Minnesota in game five of the 2013 Big Ten baseball Tournament at Target Field. The junior right-hander also picked up his 11th save of the season, a school record for saves in a single season. The top-seeded Hoosiers Will play No.

Hoosiers capture first outright Big Ten title since 1932

By Joe Popely

COLUMBUS, Ohio --- A night after needing a late-inning comeback to beat Ohio State and capture a share of the Big Ten regular season title, the IU baseball team wanted to leave no doubt who the best team in the conference was. The normally-potent Hoosier offense looked vulnerable through the first 17 innings of the series, scoring just one run, but broke out in a big way Sunday to help IU to do something it hadn't done in more than eight decades. IU jumped all over Buckeye starter Jaron Long, scoring six runs through the first three innings to beat Ohio State 8-1 and capture its first outright Big Ten regular season title since 1932 with an 8-1 victory Saturday at Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium. Senior shortstop Michael Basil continued his hot hitting in the first, ripping a double into the left center field gap that scored Sam Travis and Scott Donley, who both singled with two outs. The Hoosiers (40-13, 17-7 Big Ten) added three runs in the second.
