Hoosiers fall to Miami

·

The baseball team lost their fifth non-conference game of the season Wednesday, falling to the Miami Redhawks in Oxford, Ohio. Miami ripped off eight runs in the first three innings of play off of freshman Austin Rhoads and sophomore Brian Lortz to cruise to an 8-5 win. After a scoreless Hoosier first, senior Michael Carlin began the scoring barrage for the Redhawks in their half of the inning with a one out, two-run blast to center field. IU proceeded to go one-two-three in its next frame, and Miami came out firing again. MU's three-run second was highlighted by senior David Cook's two-run bomb, and after two innings the Redhawks owned a 5-0 advantage.

Are you confused?

·

I have once been told that everything in America is a controversy. Even though this is a consequence of the free use of the First Amendment, it does create some confusion.

The clock's ticking for seniors. Soon we'll be saying goodbye to our babies' mamas, Adderall hook-ups and professors' hot-tubs. Yeah, it doesn't sit well with me either.

Full-some prison blues

America is now synonymous with two things: McDonald's and people in prison. We always knew about the first. The second came when the U.S. Department of Justice said last month there were over 2 million American citizens incarcerated somewhere in the country.

'Holes' a kids movie adults can enjoy
