By Kevin A Switaj · Monday, May 19,2003 7:49 p.m.

Once upon a time, the public did not care much about the private lives of its athletic heroes. Mickey Mantle is an alcoholic? It doesn't matter because of his amazing hitting ability.

Boilermakers smash IU 20-4

By Marc Samardzija · Monday, May 19,2003 7:47 p.m.

The IU baseball team took to the field Sunday against intrastate rival Purdue for a doubleheader. The Hoosiers looked to this as a chance to earn points in the IU-Purdue Titan Series, as well as a boost before heading into the Big Ten Championships in two weeks. However, it was anything but a good day for the Hoosiers as the team dropped both games. After taking a 10-3 loss early in the day, freshman pitcher Ryan Parker stated the team would need to get better pitching and run support. Instead, Purdue picked up right where they left off by beating the Hoosiers 20-4. Things got off to a bad start for IU in the second inning when senior Daniel Underwood drove in his 11th homer of 2003. Purdue senior Nick McIntyre crushed his 10th homer of the season to start.
