'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.

By Jeff Fuldauer · Friday, May 7,2004 1:11 a.m.

This spring the IU women's tennis team says goodbye to three seniors who have been crucial in the Hoosiers run at claiming a share of this year's Big Ten title. Seniors Martina Grimm, Karie Schlukebir and Linda Tran depart from Bloomington after each left her mark in the IU record book. Tran, a telecommunications major from Grand Rapids, Mich., played most of the 2004 season in the No. 2 singles position and in several different doubles combinations. Teaming with sophomore Sarah Batty, Tran climbed the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's doubles national rankings to No. 26, posting a 12-1 record and going undefeated in Big Ten play. Instrumental in several of IU's biggest upsets, Tran led the IU doubles lineup in winning the doubles point against higher-ranked Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois, a match which helped clinch a share of the Big Ten regular season title.

Cubs bats wake up, pound D-backs

By Alyson Brodsy and Rick Gano · Friday, May 7,2004 1:08 a.m.

CHICAGO -- Derrek Lee is finally feeling at home with the Chicago Cubs. Lee went 5-for-5, including a three-run homer, and had five RBIs Thursday as the Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-3 to avoid a three-game sweep. "It was just one of those days, it seemed like every pitch I was looking for was there for me," Lee said. "I was aggressive with it and got a good swing on them and was able to get some hits. "You're not going to be able to go 5-for-5 every day. I don't think I'd ever gotten five hits before. It was a great day. It was a lot of fun out there," he said.
