A new master

·

AUGUSTA, Ga. – A strange week at the Masters saved the biggest surprises for Sunday – unheralded Zach Johnson won the green jacket, and he had to beat Tiger Woods to get it. Johnson pulled away from Woods and the rest of the pack with three birdies in a crucial four-hole stretch along the back nine of Augusta National, closing with a 69 for a two-shot victory and only the second of his career.

IU offensive linemen adjusting to new roles during spring practice

·

For some offensive-line coaches, losing three starters to graduation might be a cause for concern. But for IU line coach Bobby Johnson this does not appear to be the case. Last fall, Chris Mangiero, Justin Frye and Scott Anderson all finished their careers with the Hoosiers, but IU will still be returning five different players who started at least five games on the front line.

Evan Crawford wasn’t ready in fall practices, 
but with each passing day, the freshman improves by leaps and bounds.

Leaps and bounds

·

Freshman second baseman Evan Crawford stands near the IU dugout at Sembower Field. The public address announcer goes around the horn, introducing the Hoosiers in the starting lineup. Crawford hears his name, works his way through a gauntlet of high fives from teammates, then jogs around third into shallow left field. He nears the middle of the infield, cartwheels and back flips, landing smoothly and softly behind second base. The pregame flip dates back to IU coach Tracy Smith’s days at Miami of Ohio when one of his players, outfielder Ryne Robinson, did the same move. It was at a fall practice that Crawford told Smith he could perform the flip, too. “(Evan) had talked about it at fall practice,” Smith said. “One time on the turf at practice, he whipped out a bunch of them. They were pretty cool. I liked it. The fans like it.” The IU fans have embraced Crawford – as much for what he does on the field as his pregame acrobatics.
