IDS baseball reporters Kevin Bowen and Drew Allen take a look at Drew Leininger's gem on the mound from Wednesday and talk about the recent dominance of the IU pitching staff. The boys also take a look at the career of the new all time IU hits leader, senior Jerrud Sabourin, while looking ahead at this weekend's home series with Minnesota.
Jaquan Lyle is one of the most highly sought-after freshman players in the state of Indiana. He received significant minutes last season in his first high school year for Evansville Bosse, averaging 15.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
Sitting atop the Big Ten standings for the first time this season, the IU (23-12, 6-3) baseball team received a pair of votes in this week's USA TODAY/ESPN Top 25 coaches' baseball poll. IU and fellow co-Big Ten leader Michigan State both received two votes in the poll and are No.
There's a new career hits leader at IU. Senior first baseman Jerrud Sabourin earned his 306th career hit Sunday in a 6-0 win at Iowa, surpassing Alex Smith's former all-time mark of 305. The San Diego native entered the 2011 season with 268 career hits, which tallied fourth on the career list.
1. Cutters 2. Phi Delta Theta 3. Sigma Chi 4. Delta Tau Delta 5. Acacia 6. Black Key Bulls 7. Hoosier Climber? 8 Delta Chi 9.
After an early crash, the Cutters looked out of contention, but the team hasn't won four-straight titles for no reason. The Cutters made up a lap and fought for the lead, letting Phi Delta Theta lead the final five laps until they went in for an exchange on Lap 199.
With spring football now over for IU, you can let the speculation begin as to who will be the Hoosiers' starting quarterback in the fall. Both Edward Wright-Baker and Dusty Kiel had their moments in Saturday's spring game, but neither quarterback was particularly impressive. Still, though, quarterbacks coach Rod Smith said he knows which direction he's leaning, but said he wouldn't release it at this time. Since I can, I am going to use this space to express my opinion on the matter. I honestly think Smith and coach Kevin Wilson are leaning toward Kiel.

For the most part, it has been an unentertaining spring on the IU football front. We only get to watch practice for 25 minutes a practice, twice a week -- and most of that time consists of stretching. But Tuesday's practice had several interesting moments: During the part of practice open to the media, wide receiver Damarlo Belcher made a catch on the sideline and then accidentally ran over the cameraman for IU Athletics.
They pedal faster than a football player sprints the 40-yard dash. They end up in packs around tight turns and they are almost always drifting off the tire in front of them, so it's no surprise, like in all good races, that there are some epic crashes. Let's start with 2004. It was lap 199 of 200.
