INDIANAPOLIS – Gary Walters understands the difficulty in filling those final spots for the NCAA field. This year, however, his selection committee faces a new twist – picking the top seeds.

In its first home game of the season, the IU baseball team gave its fans plenty to cheer about on a brisk March afternoon.
