IU season ends with 5-3 loss to Radford The Hoosiers lose in an elimination rematch against Radford after a game filled with pitching struggles. By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @Brody_Miller_

It only took three batters for IU to put itself in trouble Sunday. Radford opened up the game with back to back doubles off junior starting pitcher Caleb Baragar. So when Radford’s Patrick Marshall drove in another run with an RBI single with no outs, Radford led 2-0 and IU’s pitching situation was already in trouble. Three pitching changes later and IU was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament with a 5-3 loss to Radford, due in large part ot a lack of offensive production. “We just have to execute

better,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “The (hit-by-pitches), the walks, that’s not really characteristic of us.” Baragar settled down and pitched two more solid innings before sophomore Jake Kelzer took over in the fourth. IU had an opportunity to get the offense going with runners on first and second and one down. Freshman outfielder Logan Sowers came up and hit a hard line drive, but the ball was headed straight for Radford shortstop Chris Coia. Coia quickly caught it and threw the ball to second base to turn a double play on IU junior Nick Ramos. IU’s momentum had

ended in seconds. Kelzer looked good for an inning of his own until he allowed two hits and another run in the fifth, putting IU down 3-0. “They got a lead in the first, which really makes a difference,” Lemonis said. “We had a triple play the other day, which makes a difference.” The next inning, IU finally put some runs on the board with a 2-RBI single from senior Casey Rodrigue. The Hoosiers even tied the game up when Radford pitcher Kyle Palmer’s pickoff attempt SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 7

For eight members of the baseball team, their seasons — and college careers — came to an end Sunday night. By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

The Hoosiers left their season’s fate in the hand of the players who have led the program to prominence — their seniors. But when IU Coach Chris Lemonis handed the ball to his senior closer Ryan Halstead in a tie game in the eighth inning against Radford, he couldn’t keep the Hoosiers in the game. Halstead looked the perfect man to turn to. He’s IU’s all-time appearances and saves leader. Bad performances are a rarity for Halstead.

But Sunday was a rarity. Halstead lost the game for the Hoosiers. He walked the first batter he faced, Radford’s No. 9 hitter Chris Coia, to load the bases. Then he surrendered an RBI single to right field and a sacrifice fly to center. Radford had taken a late two-run lead, a lead the Hoosiers could not erase in their final two innings. Sunday, IU’s season came to an end at the hands of Radford by a score of 5-3. For eight IU seniors, it was the last time they will wear an IU uniform. The half-inning before Halsted couldn’t keep Rad-

Stolen IU Arboretum sculpture found By Anthony Broderick aebroder@umail.iu.edu | @aebrodakirck

The sculpture installed earlier this month in the IU Arboretum was reported to be both vandalized and stolen last week by the Bloomington Police Department. The police department reported that the statue was reported stolen on May 26. According to a news report from Fox 59, the missing Eve statue was found on May 29, though it was highly damaged during the theft. An IU employee found the Eve statue in a parking lot on the north side of campus at 7 a.m. Friday. The sculpture is composed of two statues that represent Adam and Eve. It was created by retired IU-South Bend fine arts professor Anthony J. Droege. Before the sculpture was recovered, Droege said he hoped the disappearance was temporary. “I do not know what has happened to Eve other than it was vandalized in the process of being stolen,” Droege said. “I can only hope it was a prank, and one way or another, the University will get it back.” Droege said the bronze would probably earn fewer than $500 in a scrap marketplace, if that was the motive for stealing it. The case was first reported by Susan McGlocklin, the director of national and classified advertising and circulation. She said that IU professor Bill Yarber was the first witness to notice one of the statues missing. “A retired professor, Bill Yarber just called to say the new Eve statue in the Arboretum is mostly gone. Only her ankles remain,” McGlocklin said. Sherry Rouse, the IU curator of campus art, said that the Eve statue was removed by severing

ford off the score board, senior catcher Brad Hartong couldn’t come through with runners on base. With runners on first and second and two outs, Hartong worked the count to two balls and two strikes. He got a pitch to hit over the plate and lined it to center field, but Radford center fielder Trevor Riggs immediately broke in and to his left, running down the potential RBI single before the ball could bounce off the AstroTurf at Hawkins Field. The line out was Hartong’s final at-bat of the SEE SENIORS, PAGE 7

IU construction workers, from left, Carlos Webb, Vance Feutz, and David Jones remove concrete from the remaining Anthony J. Droege sculpture in the IU Arboretum on Tuesday. The two sculptures originally put in place featured Adam and Eve. The Eve sculpture was reported missing Tuesday morning. "Whoever took the sculpture shook it back and forth until it ripped off the foundation," says Webb. "It's a real shame, it looked really nice down here."

the state’s legs at the ankles, leaving the base, which could not be removed from the concrete. “Eve is gone, no trace,” Rouse said. “I have had Adam and the egregious feet removed. IUPD has a report too.”

Rouse said that the theft happened sometime last weekend. She said there was also report that some fish were swiped from the fountain at the park. “It is still here, but the costly job of remounting it is depressing,”

Rouse said. The Adam statue was taken off display as the two statues are meant to be shown together. Representatives from the University are still unclear as to how the statue was stolen.

IU-Purdue University Indianapolis students and faculty were put on alert Saturday night following a shooting that injured two people outside the Madame Walker Theater on the edge of the IUPUI campus. A private, under-21 party was held at the location, as advertised on social media, according to a report by the Indianapolis Star. The party had reached its capacity, and a line had begun to form outside. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Richard Riddle said the incident may have started with a disturbance that began inside the party and moved outside. Police patrolling the area heard the shots, according to the report, but were unable to apprehend the suspects, who left the scene. One victim was shot in the buttocks and is in stable condition. The other, who was shot in the head, has been stabilized but remains in critical condition. Both of the victims were transported to Eskenazi Hospital near the IUPUI campus. Holly Hays
