STEVE SHONDELL RETIRES Women’s volleyball coach steps down after 40 years in Muncie

|

ELIZABETH WYMAN VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @Heavens_2betsey

Kelly Hopkins remembers the first time she met Steve Shondell in the eighth grade.

She had always dreamed of playing college basketball. But when she joined a Munciana Volleyball Club team, Shondell

stopped her one afternoon and said he wanted her to play for him at Ball State.

Hopkins said from that point on, her dream was to play for him with the Cardinals. She went on to play for the program from 2012-15.

Shondell has coached thousands of players throughout the years. After six seasons as the head coach of the Ball State women’s volleyball team, he announced his retirement from the program on Monday.

He said he thought it was the

best time for him to step away from the game and the program, citing his health as a reason to retire at this point.

While he said his health was not the sole reason he decided to retire, it did play a role.

“I hadn’t been feeling well for the past eight weeks. My body was just telling me that it was time to step away from the battle,” Shondell said. “I’ve been doing this for years and enjoyed every minute of it.”

He is planning on getting a physical soon to figure out why

he has been feeling under the weather.

Shondell has been the head coach at Ball State for six years, but he’s been around the sport for his entire life.

The son of legendary Ball State men’s volleyball coach Don Shondell, Steve played for the Cardinals and followed his father’s footsteps to Burris Laboratory School, where he took over as women’s volleyball coach in 1976.

CUT DOWN New law attempts to limit purchase of cold medicine to

THE DAILY NEWS

Two Cats adding hookah bar soon

The average American adult will get between two to four colds a year that may last between one to two weeks.

Sudafed only recommends taking the medication for seven days.

If you were to ignore that caution and still take 12-hour Sudafeds each day for two weeks during four colds in a year, then you would take 112 Sudafeds.

Owner anticipates den will be ready around 1st week of April PATRICK CALVERT GENERAL REPORTER | pcalvert@bsu.edu The new Two Cats Café in The Village should have hookah available for customers around the first week of April.

Basam Helwani, the owner of Two Cats, has been waiting for the weather to warm up, and he plans to do some modifications to the building and landscaping on the front patio.

The hookah den, an indoor area at the front part of Two Cats, will be undergoing changes due to a county ordinance that prohibits smoking in a room with a floor, ceiling and four walls.

“We are taking these windows out and transforming this space into a outdoor seating place,” Helwani said. “I’m taking one wall out, so this becomes an outdoor area and we will have people sit here and smoke, or they can smoke outside on the patio.”

Helwani plans to put up a tent on the front patio, and once the patio is open, the menu will also be updated.

Two Cats will have custom flavors of hookah, and possibly fruit heads (where tobacco is put into a fruit and is smoked).

“I’m thinking about [fruit heads] because we have smoothies here, so maybe we will use our fruits from the smoothies,” he said. “All of our smoothies are fresh so we can make them from our fresh fruit.”

Helwani said he thinks the hookah will be popular in the area, referencing the number of daily calls asking about it.

“Since we opened two months ago, we have been getting two or three calls every day about the hookah,” he said.

fter leading the nation in meth lab seizures for two years, Indiana passed a law attempting to cut down on meth labs — by limiting access to a common cold medicine that can be used to make meth.

On March 21, Gov. Mike Pence signed Senate Bill 80, a bill that empowers pharmacists to deny the sale of products containing pseudoephedrine (pronounced SUDA-feDRIN), the active ingredient in Sudafed, and ephedrine, which is what pseudoephedrine breaks down to in the body. Pence also signed two other bills that require certain meth felonies to be logged in a database so meth offenders cannot purchase pseudoephedrine.

Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, not pictured, was charged with battery in Florida on Tuesday.

1. TRUMP ADVISER CHARGED WITH BATTERY FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (AP) — Police charged Donald Trump’s campaign manager with simple battery as a videotaped altercation with a reporter transformed what was another messy campaign sideshow into a criminal court summons. Trump decried the charges.

The Jupiter, Florida, police determined that probable cause existed to charge Corey Lewandowski, who has served as Trump’s most trusted political

adviser. Police on Tuesday morning issued Lewandowski a notice to appear before a judge on May 4 for the misdemeanor charge, which carries up to a year in jail.

It’s unclear what impact, if any, the news will have on Trump’s march toward his party’s presidential nomination. Critics cast it as another example of why the brash billionaire would struggle to attract women in a prospective race against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI’s announcement that it mysteriously hacked into an iPhone is a public setback for Apple Inc. The company remains in the dark about how to restore the security of its product.

The government said it was able to break into an iPhone used by a gunman in a mass shooting in California, but it didn’t say how. The Justice Department’s announcement that it was dropping a legal fight to compel Apple to help it access the

phone also took away any obvious legal avenues Apple might have used to learn how the FBI did it.

A senior law enforcement official told The Associated Press the FBI managed to defeat a security feature that threatened to delete the phone’s contents if the correct passcode combination was not entered after 10 tries. That allowed the government to guess the correct passcode by trying random combinations until the software accepted the right one.

LARNACA, Cyprus (AP) — A man described as “psychologically unstable” hijacked a flight from Egypt to Cyprus and threatened to blow it up. His explosives turned out to be fake, and he surrendered with all passengers unharmed after a six-hour standoff.

As more became known about the motive of the 59-year-old, authorities characterized the hijacking of the jetliner not as terrorism but more like a “family feud” with his former wife.

The drama ended peacefully on the tarmac of Larnaca airport on the

island nation’s southern coast with the surrender of a man identified by Cypriot and Egyptian authorities as Seif Eddin Mustafa.

The incident is likely to renew concerns about Egyptian airport security months after a Russian passenger plane was blown out of the sky over the Sinai Peninsula, which the Islamic State claimed.

But Egyptian officials stressed that their security measures were not to blame, and praised the EgyptAir flight crew.

RUBIO WORKS TO KEEP GOP DELEGATES 2. TIED 4-4, HIGH COURT GIVES UNIONS A WIN 5.WASHINGTON (AP) — Marco longer an active candidate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the clearest sign yet of the impact of Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, U.S. labor unions scored a major victory Tuesday with a tie vote in a highprofile Supreme Court case they had once seemed all but certain to lose.

The 4-4 split, in a case that sharply divided the court’s liberal union supporters and their conservative opponents, demonstrated how much

is riding on President Barack Obama’s effort to replace Scalia with a judge who could tilt the balance on the high court for years to come. Senate Republicans say they won’t consider any nomination until a new president takes office.

The split vote left in place an appeals court ruling that upheld the collection of “fair share” fees from nonmembers.

Rubio is working to play a role at the Republican National Convention even as his rivals scramble to pick off convention delegates claimed by the Florida senator before he suspended his campaign.

Rubio has sent letters to Republican officials in states where he has won delegates, charging he wants to keep his delegates, even though he’s no

Representatives from Rubio’s network said he wants to retain his delegates in order to keep his options open in the coming months.

The Florida senator suspended his campaign in mid-March, but not before accumulating 171 delegates, a trove that could help Republican front-runner Donald Trump secure the nomination — or help stop him.

*This review may contain spoilers.

Some might say it’s the match of the century… it’s “God versus man. Day versus night! Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham!” as Lex Luthor says. “Batman v Superman” released on Good Friday, but the reviews seem to be anything but good.

Let me start off by saying that if you’re not a fan of Zach Snyder, there’s a chance that you might not like this movie. Snyder has a specific directing style that doesn’t sit well with some viewers, and in roughly half of the movie, the story jumps around like an insane game of Frogger.

It starts off with the familiar Batman origin story playing in the background of the opening credits, and unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know how it goes.

After that, the story then leaps to the final fight from the end of “Man of Steel,” the origin story of Superman that Snyder also directed, but from the viewpoint of Bruce PHOTO PROVIDED BY CLAY ENOS WARNER BROS.

METH:

TOTAL METH LAB INCIDENTS BY STATE 2014

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 When Senate Bill 80 takes effect in July, pharmacists will be protected from lawsuits if they deny a customer pseudoephedrine without prescription because they suspect the customer is “smurfing,” or buying it to sell to a meth cook.

“If someone has an allergy, if they have a cold, they can still get medicine,” the bill’s co-author Sen. Randall Head said. “But if you are trying to smurf, the pharmacist has the authority and more legal coverage to block that sale and keep you from getting that necessary ingredient.”

“Smurfing” is when people canvass pharmacies to buy pseudoephedrine and bring it back to a meth cook. By federal law, consumers are allowed to purchase only a certain amount of medicine containing pseudoephedrine in a given year and the purchases are tracked, so meth cooks hire smurfs instead of buying the medicine themselves.

The only active ingredient in some types of Sudafed is pseudoephedrine.

Even with the restriction, individuals can still purchase enough to take two Sudafed 12-Hour caplets every day for 36 weeks out of the year.

Certain types of Sudafed, or its generic versions, are the only medicines that can be used to make meth, Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold said.

“Most people who think they take pseudoephedrine don’t even take it,” he said.

“They think anything they take related to allergy or cold is pseudoephedrine — it’s not.”

Sudafed is located behind the counter, but does not require a prescription.

Other over-the-counter allergy medicines, like Zyrtec D, have pseudoephedrine but they are combined with other active ingredients that prevent it from being used in meth-making.

The Indiana law was inspired by an ordinance in Fulton County that cut down pseudoephedrine sales.

When pharmacists were given more authority in Fulton County, pseudoephedrine sales dropped 50 percent from June 2015 to December.

Head, who represents Fulton County, brought the bill to the statehouse along with co-author Sen. James Merritt.

Head said it was one of the last bills the legislature passed, and there were changes to the bill the night before to help allergy sufferers get their medicine after pushback from drug companies and consumer groups.

Head thinks this new law is “huge,” because in the past, bills to make pseudoephedrine prescription-only have not gotten any traction. This is a step forward and a compromise, he said.

“We’ve criminalized meth and criminalized dealing and sent a lot of people to prison but aren’t putting a dent in the problem,” he said. “Doing this is huge. [We’re] giving pharmacists the power to tell people they aren’t going to get Sudafed. They can’t tell every smurf, but they can tell a lot of them.”

According to the law, customers who have a relationship on record with the pharmacy can get pseudoephedrine without a prescription. For those who do not have a relationship on record, the pharmacist can make a professional judgment on whether or not to sell them the product.

If the pharmacist denies sale, the customer is free to get a prescription or purchase alternative products. The Indiana Board of Pharmacy will make rules to define what a relationship on record is and how pharmacists will make their determinations.

EFFECT ON PHARMACISTS

The Indiana Pharmacy Alliance, which represents pharmacists in the state of Indiana, supports the new law. However, they would not have supported a prescription mandate.

Indiana Pharmacy Alliance Executive Vice President Randy Hitchens said this law will put more scrutiny on the sale of the product.

“Retailers selling this product in Indiana, a few haven’t been paying really close attention to who is buying this stuff,” he said.

Hitchens said the law will allow pharmacists to be “good Samaritans” as they evaluate patients.

In practice, if a pharmacy customer wants to buy large quantities of pseudoephedrine, the pharmacist can request a doctor’s name to call for a prescription.

“You don’t need 100pack of a product like this,” Hitchens said. “Someone using for meth is going to be walking out of the store.”

He said the IPA isn’t concerned about pharmacists’ safety if they deny sale of pseudoephedrine to people who may be criminals, because they deal with much more dangerous drugs behind the counter every day.

WHAT SUDAFED® PRODUCTS CONTAIN PSEUDOEPHEDRINE?

meth-making in Indiana have “exacerbated it,” Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold said.

Since 2012, in Indiana, pharmacists are required to track all pseudoephedrine sales in the NPLEx database. Per federal law, consumers can buy 61.2 grams of pseudoephedrine in one year, and must present an ID purchase.

That can amount to about 510, 120 mg Sudafed 12Hour pills.

Arnold said that law led to the smurfing issue.

“When they started that, it sounded like a hell of an idea. But the problem was that started creating smurfing,” Arnold said.

“The numbers have continued to go up. How can you argue that is effective?”

Right now, Delaware County leads Indiana in meth lab busts — by a long shot — with 234 clandestine meth labs seized in 2015, outpacing the second-highest county by about four times, according to data from the Indiana State Police.

Those numbers have increased in the recent past.

In 2012, Delaware County had 62 meth lab busts. It increased in 2013 to 109; and in 2014 to 148.

Arnold attributes the number to increased law enforcement efforts in Delaware county — and the exponential nature of smurfing.

It’s estimated that every one meth cook with smurfs will teach 10 people how to cook meth.

“Over the years, the meth cookers have taught the smurfs how to cook; they g o

Sen. Head said that pharmacists have already been able to deny pseudoephedrine to customers, but this law will give them explicit protection from lawsuits.

Arnold also thinks many pharmacists are already trying to stop smurfs.

“I also know for a fact that here, when pseudoephedrine comes in, most of the box stores are sold out the day it comes in,” Arnold said. “They turn people away or suggest to those they suspect that they are out.”

He said the new law is better than nothing, and it will bring the issue to the forefront, which is a start, but he maintains that the only thing that can impact the cooking of meth is a prescription requirement on pseudoephedrine.

“The cost [of a mandate] is minuscule compared to the collateral damage of cooking,” Arnold said. “Nobody seems to understand that in Indianapolis. Anybody who says that it’s too much of an inconvenience really doesn’t understand the big picture at all. I think it’s because if it’s not in your backyard, you just don’t really know.”

Representative Sue Errington, who represents Delaware County, balances the wants of officials like Arnold and Mayor Dennis Tyler, who has call for prescription mandate, with the wants of her constituents.

She said people have reached out to her in the past, opposing pseudoephedrine moving to a prescription, and she has concerns about low-income constituents who may have to pay a copay to visit the doctor to get a prescription.

Errington hopes the law is enough and that it will bring some relief to Delaware County.

“I hope it is [enough], and once we use the system, then everybody will be satisfied,” she said. “But if not, we’ll be back n e x t year.”

MEET THE 2016-17 SGA SLATE

EMILY HALLEY Small town girl has big dreams, inherits business sense from parents

|

DN PHOTO BREANNA DAUGHERTY

SABRINA CHILDERS SGA REPORTER sechilders2@bsu.edu

F

or a small town girl, Emily Halley has anything but small goals.

Originally from Goshen, Ind., the future SGA treasurer grew up close to her mom and dad as an only child. She said her home town is small but full of adventure with all of its diversity.

“We have a lot of people who move to work in [the RV] industries there, so we have a lot of different food places there, bringing in authentic Mexican food and an Indian place, as well,” Halley said. “So it’s cool to be adventurous with the food options, as well as the different cultures and the events that they put on.”

Halley has traveled to more than 40 states in the U.S. with her parents, and they hope to travel to all 50.

She said since her parents come from small towns, they wanted to give her the opportunities they didn’t have

to be invested in different cultures, which has had a great impact on Halley’s life.

“Often time, when you’re not able to travel, it’s easier to be almost close-minded about issues because you’re not able to see all the different things happening in the world,” Halley said. “Traveling has really opened my eyes to those issues and that’s why I think I can relate to those emotions. It’s much easier to be humble about the things you have in your life and be grateful to live the life you have.”

Being close to her family, it’s almost natural that Halley took after their instincts for business.

Halley’s mother is a marketing coordinator, her father is a business accountant and her grandfather owned several businesses in Ohio.

Halley said she thinks she mostly takes after her father when it comes to business.

“Being the granddaughter of a business owner is where I get my spirit and passion for marketing,” she said. “My

dad is more on the business side, and I think I gained that actually from him, as well as my grandpa.”

She is the president and founder of Women in Business here at Ball State. She helped found the organization after participating in several seminars in high school and college.

“All the ideas came to life about doing an organization that empowered women to pursue a degree in business and to continue to break leadership barriers and just the work-life balance,” she said. “I wanted to give the same opportunities to college women.”

For Halley, business has been her hobby.

Ever since high school, Halley has been involved in a number of student organizations based around giving students a taste of the business world. She helped host her high school’s Young Women in Business event, which consisted of speakers and an etiquette dinner set up on one day to help edu-

cate women on the field.

She was also a part of her school’s Red Zone store, where students got to dip their hands into the creative world of marketing to help sell items. That store was where Halley said she really gained her interest for marketing.

“I wanted to find that perfect balance between analytical and creative, and I think marketing embodies both those characteristics,” Halley said. “Marketing lets you not only be analytical but lets you be creative and innovative and find ways to relate to people.”

Halley said her dream job would be to work for the American Girl doll company.

As a child growing up, she said she was very fortunate to have more than her fair share of American Girl dolls, and that they inspired her to be the woman she is today.

“American Girl truly inspires girls to love themselves just the way they are, and it ties back to Women in

Business and empowering college women,” she said.

She said some issues in Women in Business could be eliminated if people started talking about them at a younger age.

“Toys in marketing really have the ability to change lives, and I hope that one day I can work for a company that goes against societal norms and just tries to provide more than a product or service, as well as making sure they are being a good influence on their consumers,” she said.

As the new SGA term nears, Halley says she is more passionate than ever. Passion is what describes her character, she said, and it’s what she hopes to draw out of people in SGA. “There’s this feeling when you’re truly passionate about something that I can’t really explain,” she said.

“Something I really like is helping people find their passions because I know that feeling, and I want everyone to have that feeling.”

Laci Giboney aimed to educate the community about heroin use among students in Eastern Indiana counties. Giboney did heroin for the first time at the age of 20, and she is now a therapist with mental health provider agency Unified Solutions.

while cocaine begins around $65 a gram, Popp said.

The drug task force has undercover officers who go on the scene of the drug deals to purchase the drugs as if they were for themselves. On average, Popp receives four to five drug deal calls a day. He said going on site can be stressful at times and does not always go as planned.

“You can plan as best you can,” he said. “You work so hard to make it safe but when you involve addicts, drugs and money, you can never dictate how it will go.”

Giboney wanted to make sure everyone in the audience knew that addiction is a brain disease. Once she became sober, she finally knew what withdrawal meant.

“It was really hard…For about two weeks you are in pain and are severely depressed,” Giboney said. “At

that time, people contemplate death and sometimes do not make it due to suicide. That is why I am here today, to help those people who need someone to care about them and keep going.”

Family made a big impact on her life throughout her addiction, and she preached that family and friends are there to help.

“I had lost everything,” Giboney said. “My family had stopped giving me money, I didn’t have a bed to sleep in anymore, no more food prepared every night…I was alone. I think that was the harsh reality that everyone who is an addict should experience, regardless of how painful it is to realize.”

Now she is starting her own center for women ages 18 and older dealing with a drug addiction. Transformation centers for healing will provide treatments like

Jerry Ault, post office manager, retires after 51 years

SABRINA SCHNETZER EVENT REPORTER slschnetzer@bsu.edu

On a Friday at 9 a.m., the L.A. Pittenger Student Center is nearly quiet. A handful of students are eating breakfast at the Tally, and offices around the building have just started opening for the day.

In the post office, the daily routine of checking POST OFFICE and sorting personLOCATIONS OVER al mail and packages begins.

Pittenger Student Before getting a Center Cardinal Hall C job at Ball State, Ault and Terrace Lounge. worked at Koehlings and Kirk’s Bike Shop and also served in the military. In 1965, he started his Ball State career as a mail clerk at Central Mail, the office that handles all of the mail going to and from campus.

Ault was promoted to mailing service manager 25 years later, where he concentrated on bulk mailing, as well as first-class outgoing mail.

In 2013, he became post office manager for the Student Center post office (SCPO), as well, and about nine months ago, Ault transitioned to working only at the SCPO. “He’s added a lot of degree of experience there,” said Matt Stephenson, the director of business services and special assistant to associate vice president of business and auxiliary services. “He’s come up with some different ideas to add services for students, different things to be able to sell to make mailing easier.

It’s such a common function, we don’t really think about mailing and using the U.S Post Office until we have to do it.”

Ault is the first person to receive the Ball State 50Year Staff Personnel Award, and in 2002, he received the University Meritorious Service Award.

He’s witnessed campus evolve over the 51 years he’s worked here.

“I’ve seen a lot of changes on campus. When I came here, John Emens was president,” he recalled.

He remembers when students would live in trailers, instead of the residence halls, when the library was in the North Quad building and when there were Army barracks from a surplus during World War II where the Cooper Science Building and the Teacher’s College stand today.

Central Mail started out in the basement of the Administration Building, in what Ault described as a closet. He moved along with the office to the Student Center, to West Quad, to Studebaker East, to the storage part of Facilities Planning and Management and finally to its current home north of campus.

In addition to his work on campus, Ault has been involved in many professional organizations. He is active in

the National Association of College and University Mail Services and the local Postal Customer Council. He also served two terms as president of the University Mail Management Association and Industry Co-chair for East Central Indiana Postal Customer Council.

Ault will miss the routine of the job and the service he was able to give customers — one of his strong suits.

“Our focus at the Student Center post office is customer service and helping the students, giving them the service they want for the least cost,” Ault said. “If there’s another way to do it a little bit cheaper, then we’ll tell them about it.

Most of the time, they will change and do it the way we suggest. At least, they have the option.”

Ault was always prepared for students who had never mailed a package before.

He would help them in any way he could, so they would be able return their textbooks or send packages back home. “[Ault]’s very good about taking care of the students when they come up,” Stephenson said. “He’s really good about collecting boxes and having some tape available and be able to provide the service to the student, so that they can get their package mailed.”

Ault said he enjoyed his job because of the people that he worked with — something that he will miss when he retires.

Likewise, Robin Evans, post office coordinator, said the staff will miss Ault — she was hired by him in 2000 and has been working at SCPO for 16 years.

“A familiar face at the post office is what everyone looks forward to seeing, especially

at the Ball State post office,” Evans said.

Now that his time won’t be consumed by sorting mail and helping Ball State students, Ault plans to spend more time at his lake house, at Big Turtle Lake, with all of his boats: speed boat, pontoon boat, paddle boats, row boat and jet ski. He will also drive and (mostly) repair his Model-T Ford.

He also will continue to support his two grandchildren Brenna and Brian at their basketball and baseball games.

Stephenson has a son who is also on Brian’s basketball team and notes Ault’s dedication to his grandchildren.

“I don’t know ROBIN EVANS, if he’s ever Post office coordinator missed an event with his grandkids. He’s an extremely attentive grandfather,” Stephenson said.

Evans said Ault doesn’t like to take all the credit, but she knows that he has a lot of passion working with Ball State’s mail for the past 51 years.

“I think that’s a lot of dedication, especially for the university,” Evans said. “He’s been taking care of Central Mail and the post office. That’s a long time — 51 years. You don’t find too many people who have just one job for 51 years of their life.”

After six years as the head coach of the Ball State women’s volleyball team, Steve Shondell felt it was the best time to step away from the program. Part of the reason Shondell is retiring is due to his health. He is planning on getting a physical soon to figure out why he has been feeling under the weather.

SHONDELL:

The rafters of Ball Gymnasium are covered in blue and gold women’s volleyball championship banners from his time as coach.

His passion for the game and relationships with his players helped turn him into one of the most successful high school volleyball coaches in Indiana history.

“He just brings the love for the game,” Hopkins said. “He cares about all his players as people.”

Steve continued his Delaware County coaching legacy when he took over at Ball State in 2010. He led the Cardinals to a 119-68 record, two Mid-American Conference regular season championships and an NCAA at-large bid in 2011.

“I wasn’t in there. But someone told me when he told [the team] he was retiring, a lot of them were shocked. Missing their mentor, it got emotional,” Sandy said.

Steve said he just wanted to take some time to step away from the game for a while until he’s ready to get back into it. He looks forward to the time he will have to relax, and plans on taking a few more vacations along with doing private volleyball lessons for children. Steve said he will probably return to the Munciana Volleyball Club, which he helped start in 1974.

But until he’s ready to return to the sport that has become his life, Steve can sit back and let all the success from his 40-year career sink in.

“All I wanted to do when I came to Ball State was help pride and respect return to the women’s volleyball program,” Steve said.

“I’d like to think that that did happen. I’m very grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to finish my career at Ball State.”

The Ball State baseball team won 3-2 against Valparaiso on the road.

Ball State’s record is now 15-11, 2-1 MAC.

BALL STATE EARNS COMEBACK WIN OVER VALPARAISO, IMPROVES TO 15-11 Ball State baseball (15-11, 2-1 MAC) fell behind against Valparaiso (8-14, 4-2 Horizon League), but came back to win 3-2 on the road.

Ball State trailed 2-0 in the top of the sixth when junior second baseman Sean Kennedy hit a two-run home run off Valparaiso right-handed pitcher Ellis Foreman to tie the game.

Junior right fielder Alex Call led off the top of the seventh with a single to center field and then stole second. Call advanced to third on a sacrifice fly from junior first baseman Caleb Stayton.

Cleanup hitter and catcher Jarrett Rindfleisch, also a junior, knocked in Call with an RBI single down the left field line for the 3-2 lead.

Junior left-handed pitcher Evan Korson (1-1, 3.86 ERA) was credited with the win after relieving sophomore right-handed starter Brendan Burns (3-1, 2.86 ERA) in the fourth inning.

Ball State is now 2-0 against in-state competition, including the win against Valparaiso and a come-from-behind 9-8 victory over Purdue March 22.

In its next game, Ball State will host Mid-American Conference opponent Ohio University (10-13, 1-2 MAC). The series will kick off Friday at 3 p.m., followed by 1 p.m. games on Saturday and Sunday.

Was it worth it? Ball State men’s basketball coach James Whitford thinks so.

After a 19-13 regular season, Ball State accepted a bid to play in the CollegeInsider. com postseason tournament. Teams in the CIT pay $38,000 to host a game. Ball State athletic director Mark Sandy said the CIT game the Cardinals hosted March 20 cost the department about $25,000 after ticket sales and other income.

Ball State played one home game and two road contests in the CIT, also paying for a portion of its travel costs.

Sandy said the total costs played into the decision of playing in the tournament, but with it being the program’s first postseason opportunity since 2002, it made sense and they accepted.

“The goal would be to play in the NCAA or always be selected to play in the NIT if you didn’t,” Sandy said. “These tournaments are perfect for a school like us, who won seven games the year before and 21 this year and are looking to build on success and think we’re going to have a pretty good team next year.”

Ball State wasn’t supposed to be there.

The Cardinals were picked to finish last in the Mid-American Conference West Division preseason poll, and they had a combined 1248 record the two seasons prior. But as a young, over-

After a 19-13 regular season, the Ball State men’s basketball team accepted a bid to play in the CollegeInsider. com postseason tournament. Head coach James Whitford thought it was a good idea to have the team play in a postseason tournament after its season ended against Miami.

achieving team kept winning as the season went on, talks of the postseason started to gain traction.

“I would say we were not necessarily locked in on a postseason. We were kind of trying to live in the moment and get as many as we could,” Whitford said. “And then when our season ended unfortunately against Miami, I had already known we could be in postseason because I had talked to the different tournaments. ... But I thought it was great for our guys.”

Whitford said the College Basketball Invitational was the other option for the postseason, but the CIT had more regional teams, which reduced travel costs a bit more.

“I didn’t want to fly around the country any more than we had to,” Whitford said. “I had some friends who played in the CIT in the past, and they told me it was a really well-run tournament.”

The CIT had 26 teams this year, but there’s no bracket.

Matchups are determined on a round-by-round basis, and

it’s a chance to get postseason experience against similar talent. More schools have made their postseason debut and won their first ever postseason game in the CIT than every other tournament combined since it was established in 2009, according to the tournament’s website.

Ball State scored two overtime wins before dropping a 69-67 game to Columbia, who won the CIT championship Tuesday night, in the quarterfinals.

“Every team that was in it was a pretty good team,” said redshirt junior Ryan Weber, who played in the CIT with Youngstown State in 201213. “Getting two wins in the tournament was definitely good for us. It kind of showed us where we measure up to the good mid-major talent across the country.”

The plan was to start the tournament on the road to see how the team would do.

When Ball State won in the first round, the committee asked the Cardinals to host a game.

Some Division I teams decline to participate in payto-play tournaments like the CIT or the Vegas 16, a new tournament that only has eight teams in its inaugural year. No Power Five conference teams played in anything other than the NCAA or NIT this year. But other teams like Colorado State, who finished the season one spot above Ball State in the kenpom.com rankings, declined because it “wasn’t in the best interest of the overall program.”

For Ball State, who had one of the best turnarounds in the country this season, the CIT gave more than it took away. It gave the players confidence and can help recruiting in the future.

The NCAA Tournament is the ultimate goal. But for this year’s team, the CIT was worth it.

“You put everything together, it wasn’t a terrible expense,” Sandy said. “For a home overtime win, it was a pretty good deal.”
