Indiana University Baseball Makes the NCAA Tournament and will head to Knoxville, Tennessee for the Regional<\/strong>
After coming just one win short of a Big Ten Tournament final, the Indiana Baseball team (32-24-1) earned an at-large bid to the 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament. It is the 11th all-time appearance in the national tournament, the third under head coach\u00a0Jeff Mercer and the second-consecutive trip for the Hoosiers. The Hoosiers were selected to the Knoxville Regional, hosted by No. 1 overall seed Tennessee. The region also features No. 2 Southern Miss and No. 4 Northern Kentucky. IU will be the No. 3 seed in the regional and meet the Golden Eagles in the first round on Friday. IU battled through a number of injuries this season including the loss of three potential weekend arms (Luke Sinnard Ben Grable and Mathhew Bohnert and one of the most talented position players on the roster (A.J. Shepard). Even without the services of those players, the Hoosiers won 32 games, 15 in the Big Ten regular season slate and advanced to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the RPI rankings on Sunday morning, IU had played 26 quad one or two games, winning 12 of those. The Hoosiers won non-conference contests against Indiana State, Dallas Baptist and Coastal Carolina. It also played games away from home against regional opponents in Duke, Alabama and Arizona. IU had a top-40 strength of schedule. Since the beginning of April, the Hoosiers went on a tear, producing both on the mound and at the plate. IU won 17 of its final 28 games. Of the 10 losses in that timeframe, seven of them came by three runs or fewer. Its offense scored 10+ runs on 12 occasions over the final two months and won six of the final seven Big Ten series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by First Team All-Big Ten selection in sophomore outfielder Devin Taylor, the IU offense was as balanced and potent as any in the country. The Hoosiers finished top-10 in the nation with 134 doubles and smashed 78 home runs along the way, led by a career-best 18 from Taylor. Sophomore shortstop Tyler Cerny (23) and junior third baseman Josh Pyne <\/a><\/dfn>(22) each finished in the top-25 in the nation in doubles. On the mound, IU found a balanced group of talented arms that helped IU turn around its season over the past two months. In 16 of the final 17 games of the season, IU held opponents to seven or fewer runs. Its staff also recorded 557 strikeouts on the season. Graduate student reliever Drew Buhr held a 3.35 earned run average across 20 appearances and 45.2 innings pitched. The Hoosier starting duo of sophomore Connor Foley (80) and graduate student Ty Bothwell (82) combined for 162 punchouts. Ticket information, for those looking to travel to the NCAA Regional, will be available this week. The NCAA Baseball Regionals will run from Friday, May 31st to Monday, June 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josef Newgarden wins the Indy 500 for second straight year <\/strong>
Josef Newgarden claimed a second consecutive Indianapolis 500 victory on Sunday. Newgarden narrowly defeated Pato O\u2019Ward, passing him on the final lap of the race. On top of the prize money, he will get for winning the race, Newgarden will receive a bonus worth more than $400,000 for winning back-to-back titles. Newgarden is the first driver to win back-to-back Indy 500s since Helio Castroneves did it in 2001 and 2002. Newgarden started Sunday\u2019s race in third place, behind his teammates Will Power and Scott McLaughlin. Power did not finish the race because he crashed, and McLaughlin, who started in first, placed sixth. Newgarden picked up his second Indy 500 win by fighting through a chaotic and messy race. Before drivers even lined the track, the race was delayed by about four hours while rain and lightning moved through central Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the race finally began just before 4:45 p.m., it took only one lap for the caution flag to fly for the first time. A crash involving Tom Blomqvist and 2022 Indy 500 champion Marcus Ericsson triggered the first caution. In total, the caution flag was flown eight times. A third of the 33-driver field did not finish the race. Three drivers suffered through mechanical issues and the rest were involved in crashes or spinouts. Nine of the 11 cars that did not finish the 500 were Hondas. The only Chevrolet cars that did not cross the finish line were involved in crashes. O\u2019Ward has now come close to winning the Indy 500 twice. In 2022, O\u2019Ward finished second at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. IndyCar officials also lifted the Indy 500 broadcast blackout in central Indiana on Sunday, allowing fans to watch the race on TV for the first time since 2021. The next event on the NTT IndyCar Series circuit is the Grand Prix of Detroit, which is slated for June 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newgarden\u2019s win also comes on the heels of <\/strong>some controversy surrounding Team Penske. <\/strong>Four key members of the team \u2014 No. 2 engineer Luke Mason, senior data engineer Robbie Atkinson, managing director Ron Ruzewski and President Tim Cindric \u2014 were suspended for the Indy 500. The quartet was suspended earlier this month for their involvement in rules violations committed at the Firestone Grand Prix in St. Petersburg, Florida. Previous reporting indicates the violation the team committed pertained to a manipulation of push-to-pass systems. Newgarden crossed the finish line first at the Firestone, though he did not ultimately win the race. Newgarden was disqualified for push-to-pass manipulation. His Team Penske teammates, Scott McLaughlin and Will Power, were also penalized after the Firestone. All three Team Penske entries were fined $25,000 following the race in Florida. Newgarden, McLaughlin and Power also forfeited the prize money they won in St. Petersburg. The alleged infractions happened in March but were discovered in April before a race in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pacers continued their great shooting from the last two games in the first quarter. T.J. McConnell\u2019s lay-up gave Indiana a five-point lead with just over a minute to play in the quarter. Jrue Holiday made a three-pointer to cut the Celtics\u2019 deficit to two at 27-25 at the end of the first and spark a Boston run. The Celtics then scored the first 17 points of the second quarter for a 20-0 run and a 15-point lead. Boston would lead as many as 16 in the quarter after Derrick White made three free throws after getting fouled on a three-point attempt by Andrew Nembhard. Brown scored 17 points in the second quarter and 24 total points in the first half. Indiana showed some resilience as Siakam scored the last 10 Pacers\u2019 points of the first half to cut the Celtics\u2019 lead to just six at halftime. Siakam stayed hot in the third quarter, hitting a three pointer to cut Boston\u2019s lead to two at 68-66, but the Celtics went on another spurt forcing Rick Carlisle to take a timeout after an Oshae Brissett dunk made it 82-71.

The Pacers had an opportunity to answer down one, but Andrew Nembhard lost the ball to Holiday, who made two free throws to extend the lead to three points. They had one last chance, but Aaron Nesmith\u2019s three-pointer at the buzzer was no good. Jayson Tatum led Boston with 36 points, while Jaylen Brown scored 24 and Al Horford added 23. Nembhard had a career-night for Indiana, leading the way with 32 points and nine assists. T.J. McConnell had a strong effort off the bench with 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists.
