Titan Series ends with Purdue win

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, May 23,2004 10:41 p.m.

Despite a come-from-behind victory Friday to open its weekend series with arch-rival Purdue, IU lost both games in Saturday's doubleheader. Sunday' s season finale was canceled due to bad weather, preventing the Hoosiers from tying the weekend series, cementing the Boilers' Titan Series victory. Purdue picked up the baseball point to increase its lead in the annual head-to-head challenge between the two rival schools. The final score of this year's Titan Series ended with Purdue winning 11-9. The losses also gave arch-rival Purdue the opportunity to compete in the Big Ten tournament as the No. 6 seed. Senior pitcher Nick Vitielliss threw his second complete game of the season, as he allowed three unearned runs in the second inning off an error by freshman third baseman Josh Richardson.

By Alyson Brodsy and Chris Sheridan · Sunday, May 23,2004 10:33 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Reggie Miller did what Reggie Miller does.

"You knew it was coming," Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal said. "He's going to make one big-time shot, and he thrives on the biggest shot."

The State of the Game address

By Alyson Brodsy and David Resnik · Sunday, May 23,2004 9:32 p.m.

Just over 10 years ago, Michael Jordan, perhaps the most prolific athlete ever to walk the earth, retired from the game of basketball. His not-so-unexpected return to the Chicago Bulls in 1995, while enjoyable at first, was the beginning of the end. Everybody, including his "ego-ness" himself, knew it. Mike managed to string us all along for another eight years, finally retiring for good after last season, from the Washington Wizards.

'Titan'ic Rivalry

By Benjames Derrick and Benjamin Derrick · Wednesday, May 19,2004 10:19 p.m.

After being eliminated from the six-team Big Ten tournament, IU's baseball team will travel to West Lafayette looking to spoil Purdue's postseason hopes. The four-game series begins Friday, followed by a doubleheader Saturday and before the season finale Sunday. With just four more conference games left for the Big Ten, the Boilermakers presently sit in sixth place in the conference standings with Northwestern looming three games behind in seventh place. If IU sweeps Purdue, or even wins just three of the four games, they will open the door for Northwestern to tie Purdue in conference play and climb to sixth place by virtue of the overall record tie-breaker. In addition to attempting to spoil the Boilermakers' season, this weekend's series is important for the seniors, who would like nothing more than to end their careers on a good note.

Hoosiers postseason hopes dashed

By Benjames Derrick and Benjamin Derrick · Sunday, May 16,2004 10:22 p.m.

The IU baseball team approached this weekend with ideas of stringing together crucial wins in the team's quest to make the Big Ten tournament. With the Michigan Wolverines taking three out of the four games this weekend, however, the Hoosiers' hopes and chances of a tournament berth were dealt a fatal blow. After a rainout for Friday's game, IU and Michigan played doubleheaders both Saturday and Sunday. Senior pitcher Nick Vitielliss started the weekend on a good note with his first complete game of the season in the full nine-inning game. Seniors Seth Bynum, Kevin Mahar and Ryan Donley all contributed to the scoring in their final home victory, 4-1. "It felt good to get a complete game for my final game, but the rest of the weekend didn't go so well," Vitielliss said.
