The senior right-handed pitcher was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 18th round (525 overall) of the MLB Draft on Sunday evening to cap off the weekend&#8217;s proceedings. Indiana has now had at least one player selected in every full draft since 2007.   Bergman made just three starts for the Hoosiers during his lone season in Bloomington before missing the rest of the campaign with an elbow injury. In 14 innings of work, the Ohio native had a 4.50 ERA with nine strikeouts. He&#8217;s the 13th player in program history to be selected by the White Sox.  During head coach\u00a0Jeff Mercer&#8217;s stint as the skipper, Bergman is now the 31st unique student-athlete to be picked in the MLB Draft. In totality, 118 different players have been selected since the MLB Draft went into effect. Bergman will spend the rest of the year recovering from injury before returning to throw.  In addition to Bergman, incoming freshman signee Gavin Swartz (Bloomington, Ill.) was selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 11th round of the MLB Draft. The young right-handed pitcher will choose between signing his professional contract or reporting back to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serbia and Indiana University Volleyball&#8217;s Teodora Krickovic Earn Silver at U22 European Championships<\/strong>                                                                                         After a thrilling five-set win in the semifinals; Serbia ran into top-seeded Italy for the second time in the tournament. Captain and Indiana sophomore setter\u00a0Teodora Krickovic\u00a0were awarded the silver medal at the CEV Women&#8217;s U22 European Championships following a four-set (21-25, 19-25, 25-18, 13-25) loss to the Italians in Sunday&#8217;s final.   Serbia won three contests enroute to the Gold Medal Match, picking up victories over Portugal (3-1), Poland (3-1) and The Netherlands (3-2). Both losses came at the hands of Italy in tough four-set efforts. Krickovic started all five matches at setter and served as the team&#8217;s captain. She recorded 14 points in the tournament including seven aces.  Krickovic will get to spend time at home in Serbia before reporting back to Bloomington for preseason camp at the beginning of August. She will join up with a talented core of returning players that includes sophomore outside hitter\u00a0Jaidyn Jager\u00a0and sophomore middle blocker\u00a0Victoria Gray. The Hoosiers will open the regular season on August 28th at Louisville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Baseball&#8217;s Hogan Denny Gets a Hit and RBI as Team USA Beats Chinese Taipei <\/strong>                                                                                             Thanks to multi-hit performances by four different players, as well as a solid start from Luke Harrison on the bump, the Collegiate National Team (1-0) secured a 10-6 win over Chinese Taipei (0-1) in its World Collegiate Baseball Championship opener on Sunday evening at Intercontinental Stadium in Taichung City, Taiwan. Team USA got on the board early with a run in the first inning.\u00a0Derrick Pitts\u00a0and\u00a0Landon Hairston\u00a0led off the game with walks, and after a double play moved Pitts to third, he scored on\u00a0Chase Fralick\u2019s RBI single to left field. Chinese Taipei responded with pair of runs to take the lead in the bottom frame. With runners at the corners and one out, a wild pitch and single to right field by Chao-Hung Chang gave his team a 2-1 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nico Partida\u00a0knotted the score at 2-2 in the third, driving in\u00a0Gavin Kelly\u00a0on a sacrifice fly after he reached on a base hit and moved to third on Fralick\u2019s single to right field.  In the fourth, the stars and stripes plated three runs to take a 5-2 lead.\u00a0Kolby Branch\u00a0led off the frame with a home run to center field to bring the go-ahead run across.\u00a0Anthony Pack Jr<strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0followed up with an outfield single and later scored on a double to center field by Pitts. Kelly tallied his second hit of the night to bring Pitts across home plate and cap off the three-run inning.  The U.S. tacked on three more runs in the fifth to extend its lead to 8-2. Pack Jr. reached on a double to center field, stole third, and scored on a wild pitch to bring the first run across. With the bases loaded following a hit-by-pitch and pair of walks, Kelly once again delivered with a two-RBI single to right field.  Kelly tallied his fourth hit and fourth RBI of the night in the seventh inning when he hit a solo home run to center field, making the score 9-2 in favor of the red, white, and blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinese Taipei cut into its deficit in the bottom half of the inning, scoring four runs on as many hits to make it 9-6. Cheng-Hao Wu and Chia-Yi Wang led off the side with back-to-back walks, and Tung-Hao Lu and Jun-Wei Zheng proceeded to tally run-scoring doubles to bring home the first three runs. Ting-Lun Hsu rounded out the scoring with an RBI single to center field, allowing Zheng to cross home plate.  The U.S. added one final run in the ninth thanks to\u00a0Indiana University&#8217;s Hogan Denny\u2019s pinch-hit single to center field, scoring Kelly after he led off with his fifth hit of the game and moved to third a sacrifice bunt and groundout, respectively. Denny went 1-1 at the plate and with an RBI and played Left Field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly went a game-best 5-for-6 with four RBIs and three runs scored, contributing to Team USA\u2019s 16 hits in the contest. Kelly&#8217;s five hits tied the program&#8217;s single-game hit record, as he is the first player to accomplish the feat since\u00a0Heston Kjerstad\u00a0in 2019 and 11th all-time to do so. Pitts also scored a game-high three runs, while Pack Jr. tallied two on the night.  Fralick and Pack Jr. turned in three-hit outings, while Branch had a 2-for-4 performance at the plate with two walks, an RBI, and a run scored.  Harrison was credited with the win after tossing five complete innings and surrendering two runs on three hits with one walk. He fanned six batters and threw his final four innings in shutout fashion.  Walker Hooks\u00a0closed out the game with 2.2 innings of shutout baseball, not giving up a run while tallying a pair of strikeouts. He ended his outing with a 1-2-3 inning to close out the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Preseason Game Odds Favor Indiana University Football to End One Long Streak and Another Forever Streak<\/strong>                                                                                   IU football has a chance to keep the first time ever, first time since train rolling in 2026. The Hoosiers haven\u2019t won a game against Michigan in Ann Arbor since 1967, and the program has never won against USC.  Ending those streaks won\u2019t be easy this season.  USC is No. 13 in ESPN\u2019s preseason FPI, and Michigan No. 15.\u00a0 On paper they are the second and third most difficult games on IU\u2019s schedule.  But the odds are currently in IU\u2019s favor to come away from those contests victorious.  Indiana travels to Ann Arbor on Oct. 24 to face the Wolverines at Michigan Stadium.&nbsp; IU\u2019s last win at the 100,000+ seat monstrosity came as part of their 1967 run to a share of the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DraftKings has posted an early betting line for that game and has IU as a 6.5-point favorite over Michigan. A few weeks later, IU will host USC on Nov. 14.\u00a0 The Hoosiers are 0-4 all-time against the Trojans, including a defeat in that Rose Bowl following the 1967 season.\u00a0 The teams last met in 1982.\u00a0 DraftKings currently likes Indiana to defeat USC by 10.5 points. As an interesting side note, USC is one of just three Big Ten teams Indiana does not own an active winning streak against.\u00a0 The other two are also on IU\u2019s 2026 schedule: Minnesota and Rutgers.\u00a0 What all three have in common is Indiana hasn\u2019t played them since Curt Cignetti was hired.\u00a0 And If the Hoosiers can run the table in the league for a second straight year, they\u2019ll own active winning streaks against all 18 teams. There are also early betting odds for the season opener on Sept. 5.\u00a0 Indiana is a 40.5-point favorite against North Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Indiana Fever Flush the Las Vegas Aces in record night for Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell Winning 109-75<\/strong>                                                                           The Indiana Fever end their week-long West Coast Road trip with a dominant win over the reigning WNBA champs in Las Vegas, beating the Aces 109-75.  Led by yet another double-digit scoring night from Kelsey Mitchell and energized by the return of All-Star Caitlin Clark, the Fever ran out to a 9-point lead in the first half and never took their foot off the gas the rest of the way.  Mitchell\u2019s 27 points mark the 38th consecutive game where the All-Star has reached double figures. That breaks the Fever franchise record previously held by WNBA legend Tamika Catchings.  Clark finished the game with 12 points, shooting 5-for-11 from the field and snagging seven rebounds in 24 minutes of play. She also grabbed six assists, which makes her the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 600 career assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aliyah Boston also dominated the floor on both sides. Her 19 points and 11 rebounds are good for her seventh double-double of the season. Sophie Cunningham made a big impact off the bench, as well, scoring 20 points. Her six three-pointers ties her season high.  Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris also contributed with 10 points each.  Clark returned to the starting lineup after missing Thursday\u2019s game in Phoenix to rest a nagging back issue. Head coach Stephanie White said Saturday that the superstar would be on a minute&#8217;s restriction against the Aces.  The Fever return home winning three of the four games in the West Coast swing. They get set to play the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connor Wietgrefe Hurls a One-Hitter in the Indianapolis Indians Victory over the Toledo Mud Hens <\/strong>                                                                                           The Indianapolis Indians won their second straight series in a row thanks to a brilliant performance from the young southpaw Connor Wietgrefe, who blanked the Toledo Mud Hens for a 5-0 win at Victory Field on Sunday afternoon.  Wietgrefe (W, 2-2), in his fourth Triple-A start, stole the spotlight in the series finale. Wietgrefe mowed down the Mud Hens (10-8, 44-48) batters, punching out six, walking none and throwing a career-high eight innings.  Nick Cimillo kickstarted the four-run second inning for the Indians (11-7, 42-51) with a sharp RBI single to left field. With two on and two out, P.J. Hilson connected on a fastball from Sawyer Gipson-Long (L, 2-4) and sent it 378 feet to left field for his first Triple-A home run, a three-run dinger.  In the third inning, Joshua Palacios rocketed a ball through the first baseman\u2019s legs and to the right field corner, bouncing off the wall. Palacios jogged into third base on the error and plated Jhostynxon Garcia who hustled from first, extending the lead, 5-0.  Landon Tompkins sealed the victory for the Indians with a scoreless ninth inning, shutting the door on a successful Triple-A debut and Indianapolis\u2019 4-2 series win.  The Indians will head on a four-day break and resume the 2026 season on Friday, July 17 at the Columbus Clippers. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM ET. No starting pitchers have been named at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana Fever&#8217;s Sophie Cunningham Makes her Debut as UFC Ring Girl in Las Vegas <\/strong>                                                                                                                      WNBA star Sophie Cunningham made a surprise cameo as a UFC ring girl during the highly anticipated UFC 329 fight on Saturday and fans went wild for the blonde athlete&#8217;s unexpected appearance. However, many were focused on one interesting detail: she didn&#8217;t wear shoes for the event. The Fever star appeared during the co-main event between<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Paddy Pimblett, who won the fight, and\u00a0Beno\u00eet Saint Denis\u00a0at T-Mobile Arena. She wore a black bodysuit and black short shorts, her signature blonde waves, and bare feet for the event, later posing with other co-main event fighter\u00a0Max Holloway, who technically beat\u00a0Conor McGregor\u00a0after the UFC legend suffered an injury moments into the first round.  She recreated her viral pointing moment for the photo after drawing controversy for pointing at\u00a0Phoenix Mercury\u00a0star\u00a0DeWanna Bonner\u00a0during a game weeks prior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The fact that he has on shoes, but she doesn&#8217;t hahahahahahahaha,&#8221;\u00a0said one fan\u00a0after seeing the photo with Holloway. Another\u00a0questioned, &#8220;Why is she barefoot?&#8221; while a commenter\u00a0responded, &#8220;Why not? That is total bad a&#8211; of her to be barefoot all night. It&#8217;s a new fashion statement.&#8221; A fourth\u00a0contended, &#8220;She gonna get staph.&#8221; Other fans were excited to see Cunningham either way. &#8220;I switched over to watch the last couple of fights and I&#8217;m like holy s&#8211;t, that girl looks just like Sophie Cunningham!&#8221;\u00a0one wrote. &#8220;That was unexpected.&#8221;  Perhaps most interesting about Cunningham choosing to walk the ring sans shoes is that her own Adidas collaboration&#8217;s drop date was announced the same day. Cunningham is set to release her hot pink and baby blue &#8220;Crazy Energy&#8221; sneaker with pink and orange soles on July 24. According to\u00a0Bleacher Report, the exclusive colorway will be available for $120.  The unique choice in footwear (or lack thereof) could probably be attributed to the fact that the cameo was unplanned. &#8220;(We decided) eight minutes before she did it,&#8221;\u00a0UFC CEO<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Dana White revealed at the\u00a0post-fight press conference. &#8220;I love Sophie Cunningham. We&#8217;ve created a relationship. She was here tonight, and when she walked in, she goes, &#8216;Oh, I want to walk around that.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Then you&#8217;re going to walk around it!&#8217;&#8230; She&#8217;s fun.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana University&#8217;s Jackson Bergman Selected in the 18th Round of the Major League Baseball Draft Jackson Bergman\u00a0is set to join the ranks of Pro Hoosiers.
