LOSS OF POWER Home run numbers down after NCAA makes move to less potent metal bats DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski
DN FILE PHOTO JONATHAN MIKSANEK
Senior Kevin Schlotter swings at a pitch during the three game series played Friday and Saturday against Akron on March 15 and 16 at Ball Diamond. The new NCAA bats are designed to reduce ball speed off the bat.
For decades, the metallic ping of a college baseball striking an aluminum bat was heard at baseball diamonds across America, from Jackie Robinson Stadium at UCLA University to Ball Diamond just outside of Ball State. It was the noise that represented college baseball. But not anymore. Not after the NCAA made all college baseball programs transition to use metal bats starting in the 2011 season. These bats are meant to behave similarly to their wooden counterparts used in the major leagues. The NCAA says that the change was an attempt to lower the velocity that the ball comes off the bat, in order to prevent dangerous injuries, like what occurred to Minnesota pitcher Ben Birk. Birk was hit in the face by a line drive clocked coming off the bat at nearly 100 m.p.h. The strike required Birk to have a titanium plate inserted close to his left eye. Ball State coach Rich Maloney understands why the NCAA would make
the change. “Player safety is always going to be a top priority,” Maloney said. “When safety is threatened, the NCAA will act.” Alan Nathan, a retired physics professor at Illinois University, spent time dissecting the potency of the new bats, and the effects they have when a ball is put in play. The overall message that Nathan sends is fairly simple: the slower the ball comes off the bat, the more reaction time the pitcher will have to get in position to either field the ball or get out of the way. “A typically hard hit ball that’s moving at 100 mph is going to reach the pitcher in about four tenths of a second,” Nathan said. “If I reduce the batted ball speed by five percent, which is essentially what the new bats do, it gives the pitcher an additional 20 milliseconds to react.” The NCAA is hoping that extra time is enough to save a pitcher from injury, but it’s not the only thing the new bats do. Reducing bat potency has had a number of other side effects, none more noticeable than the drop in power. Ball State redshirt junior Billy Wellman has played with both bats in college, and has noticed a huge difference.
See BASEBALL, page 5
HITTING THE SWEET SPOT Hitters are always looking for the perfect swing. No matter what kind of bat is used, look for that solid hit. Power, distance and placement all play into what defines the “sweet spot.”
THE “SWEET” SPOT
This part of the bat achieves maximum power and distance. The physics of the “sweet” spot is the maximum vibration an aluminum or wooden bat can get on impact. In action, the sweet spot is about three inches down the barrel and will send the ball up the middle of the field. Closer to the upper third gives a powerful swing and a potential homerun.
POP-UP
GROUNDER
The sacrifice fly is sometimes your best strategy for scoring. Therefore, hitting the ball with the upper third of the bat is going to put the ball in the air. However, the pop-up can often result in an out.
Aiming for the lower third of the bat is best to knock down a pitch and keep the ball on the ground. When bunting, the batter should also aim for this section of the bat.
BAT SPEED AND ANGLE SWINGING AHEAD
STRAIGHT ON
BEHIND THE PITCH
If the bat speed is too fast, the ball will pull the left field, or at the third baseman and shortstop, depending on power.
This is the most solid contact that you will get with the bat. The 90-degree angle allows for power and distance.
DN THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2013
If the bat speed is a little too slow, the ball will pull to right field, or at the second or first baseman, depending on power.

Ball State uses alerts to inform of issue

Workers outside of Ball Gymnasium try to fix the water main break problem that occurred early Wednesday morning. Students compared how the Ball State alert notifications for the pipe burst and how it differed from the alleged gun man on campus.
Official says number of updates serve as reflection of feedback SARA NAHRWOLD DAY EDITOR | news@bsudailynews.com Ball State used its notification system several times throughout Wednesday to keep students informed about a water main break that left four buildings without running water. Students voiced opinions on Twitter about the amount of alerts they received for the water main break versus the number with the alleged gunman on campus. The water main break lasted about six hours versus the less than two hours of the other incident, making it difficult to compare given the time frames of the two different situations, Tony Proudfoot, associate vice president for marketing and communications said. “Anytime we have any kind of incident where we use the notification system, we take feedback from the campus community on how we can communicate more effectively,” Proudfoot said. “We did get feedback that more frequent updates would be helpful. Those are the kinds of information that we include to consistently refine our process.” Water service was restored about 2 p.m. to the Administration Building, Lucina Hall, West Quadrangle Building and Ball Gym, according to texts and emails sent by the university. The break was discovered shortly after 8 a.m. in front of the east doors of Ball Gym, media relations manager Vic Caleca said. Six emergency notification text messages and five emails were sent to update students on the progress of fixing the pipe. A clamp was put on the broken pipeline to get it back up and running, said Kevin Kenyon, associate vice president of facilities.

US high court skeptical of marriage law Five justices question
Defense of Marriage Act intrudes on state power | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, concluding two days of intense debate, indicated Wednesday it could strike down the law that prevents legally married gay couples from receiving a range of federal benefits that go to married people. The court wrapped up its arguments over gay marriage in America, and Justice Anthony Kennedy — often the decisive vote in a divided court — joined the four more liberal justices in raising questions about the provision of the federal Defense of
Marriage Act that is being challenged at the Supreme Court. Kennedy said the law appears to intrude on the power of states that have chosen to recognize same-sex marriages. Other justices said the law creates what Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called two classes of marriage. The federal law affects a range of benefits available to married couples, including tax breaks, survivor benefits and health insurance for spouses of federal employees. Lower federal courts have struck down the section of the law that defines marriage as being between one man and one woman, and now the justices, in nearly two hours of scheduled argument, were considering whether to follow suit.
See MARRIAGE, page 3
Circuit Court 5 ruled against Chris Hiatt, owner of Hiatt Printing, in an eminent domain case with Ball State, according to a Facebook post by Hiatt. Tony Proudfoot, associate vice president for Marketing and Communications, said the ruling was made at the end of the day, and Ball State communications couldn’t comment until the case is reviewed Thursday. Hiatt said in a Facebook post that he would appeal the ruling. “For the sake of our 4 decades of business presence and investment in this community as well as the many livelihoods that are at stake, we’ll undoubtedly be appealing the decision,” he said. The space on McKinley Avenue where Hiatt Printing resides would be used for McKinley Commons, a combined hotel, convention center and residence hall. Randy Howard, vice president for Business Affairs and treasurer, said in a Daily News report in September 2012 that he didn’t think Ball State could offer more money than the $400,000 originally proposed in April 2012. “The ruling has not come as a big surprise but we are obviously disappointed nonetheless,” Hiatt said. – DEVAN FILCHAK

Speaker talks women, commodity model Activist discusses men as ‘buyers,’ rape, consent, virginity |
EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER emfittes@bsu.edu
Author and activist Jaclyn Friedman came to Ball State for Women’s Week to tell students how she thinks they can improve their sex life and their community at the same time. Friedman, author of “How to Get What You Really, Really Want,” defines society’s outlook on sex as a commodity model. “Women are supposed to withhold sex in order to bribe men into loving us,” Friedman said. “Does everyone feel thoroughly insulted? This is insulting to everyone.”
Friedman said our society has a fetish with female virginity, and whether or not a girl still has hers defines if she is a slut or a prude. “What am I saving it for? A dude and a diamond,” Friedman said. “As a man, I need to get it and pay as little as possible for it. The men are the buyer in the commodity model.” She said this model is a big part of why rape is so prevalent in society. “We normalize sexual assault and we blame it on women for not being a sexual commodity,” Friedman said. “[This] creates a culture, a set of cultural resources, where we let the rapists off the hook and continue raping. Most rapists know what they are doing. They may not call what they are doing ‘rape’ in their heads, but they know that they do not have consent.”
Friedman said the only consent that matters is enthusiastic consent, which she defines as clear, honest communication throughout all sexual contact. “Consent really is not a light switch; its much more like synchronized swimming,” Friedman said. “In order to be qualified, you must be surrounded and supported by water at all times. In order to have enthusiastic consent with your partner you must be surrounded and supported by consent at all times.” Kelsey Grogg, a freshman art education major, said she wished more people had come to learn about Friedman’s theories of sexuality and rape. “I think Ball State should be aware of [rape] and I think we are very shy,” Grogg said. “We know its going on, its not ‘Oh well, nobody’s having sex.’ Ob-

viously people are. I think they should have come and paid more attention to it.” Friendman said there is a terrible trio that causes guilt
about sex: shame, blame and fear. “If you feel s----y about your sex life in anyway, that is because one of the trio is acting
on you,” Friedman said. “Get clear about your personal values. What are your responsibilities and rights? What do you want sex to be for in your life?”
on this earth to do a work, a service. It’s all about reaching out to others and how you affect others.” Patricia Riley, who has worked as a judge for 30 years, said mentors help people become leaders but they shouldn’t rely on mentors to do it all. “You have to be there to do it too because mentors can only take you so far in their example and what they wish for you,” Riley said. “You have to let go and do it yourself.” Students listened to advice from the panel that was meant to help them make the best decisions. Jodeci Gonzalez, a junior social work major, said the speakers were helpful. “Terry Whit Bailey impacted
me the most, and I actually wrote a quote down from her as my Facebook status,” she said. Kiersten Scifers, a speech pathology graduate student, said even though women have more equal rights, there is still not equality. “Even though we think that we are progressive, there are uneven wages,” she said. “We have to continue talking about how women are equal to men and to actually make it happen.” Gonzalez said she is involved with three programs and is very involved in her community. “One of things I like to do is help younger girls find their voice then build the confidence to be the best at what they can be,” she said.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Bud Light said it with beer cans and Martha Stewart with red velvet cake as companies and celebrities from Beyonce to George Takei joined millions of social media users in posting and tweaking a simple red logo in support of gay marriage. A square box with thick pink horizontal lines, the mathematical equal symbol, was offered for sharing this week by the Human Rights Campaign as the U.S. Supreme Court took up arguments in key marriage rights cases. The image, replacing profile pictures on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and elsewhere, is a makeover of the advocacy group’s logo, usually a blue background with bright yellow lines. The HRC made it available in red — for the color of love — on Monday and estimated tens of millions of shares by Wednesday. “It shows the enthusiasm and the passion,” said Fred Sainz, a spokesman for the nonprofit in Washington, D.C. Like viral campaigns of yore, supporting breast cancer awareness (pink), President Barack Obama (change your middle name to Hussein) and
“That is one of the things I tried to instill in my students is to be involved in things at various levels, whether it be in the classroom or outside of the classroom.” Terry Whitt Bailey, one of the speakers on the panel said women sometimes worry about being liked by everyone that they may come in contact with, but they have to decide if they want people to like them or not. “I want people to appreciate my work, but I am not here on this earth for people to like me,” Bailey said. “I am here

even Arab Spring (green), a bit of fatigue set in on some social media streams by those questioning whether such efforts serve to change any minds or, put simply, are plain annoying. “My Facebook feed is a cascading aesthetic nightmare. Thanks, equality,” Washington Post writer Dan Zak wryly grumbled on Twitter. A photo of Justice Anthony Kennedy made the rounds with the quip: “Before we make a ruling, did enough people change their Facebook profile picture?!” None of that mattered to the masses of same-sex marriage supporters. Some swapped matzoh for the pink lines as Passover got under way, or added frowny Internet star Grumpy Cat, who explained marriage equality would make her happy.
A panel advised students today of how to empower women through succeeding and becoming leaders in their careers. The event held on Wednesday was part of Women’s Week, an annual event at Ball State organized by the Women’s and Gender Studies Program. The empowerment of women was a conversation with the Indiana Women of Achievement. Sue Whitaker, a retired professor, said her main push was for empowerment through involvement.

This posed a problem for dance students who have all their classes in Ball Gym, dance major Heather Closson said. “It’s just kind of frustrating to know we still had classes and still had to go do our thing with no water and no way to use the restroom, especially when Ball Gym is kind of our home since we are in there for extended periods of time,” Closson, a senior, said. “Granted, there’s vending machines downstairs, but you don’t always have

She read from a House report explaining that the reason for the law was “to express moral disapproval of homosexuality.” The quote produced an audible reaction in the courtroom. Paul Clement, representing
the House Republican leadership in defending the law, said the more relevant question is whether Congress had “any rational basis for the statute.” He supplied one, the federal government’s interest in treating same-sex couples the same no matter where they live.

A problem like a water break happens from time to time on campus, Kenyon said. “I think in the last few years we’ve replaced a lot of piping so it’s not as common as it used to be but it still happens,” he said. “It seems it’s been a few
years since we’ve had a major water line break that shut down service to buildings.” However, Kenyon said problems with broken pipes are preventable. “When they [pipelines] get to be a certain age, they are scheduled for replacement,” Kenyon said. “It’s just a matter of having time and money to do it. It can be prevented if you replace piping regularly.”

As spring slowly makes its fashionably late appearance, winter takes with it the heavy and hearty dishes we’ve come so accustomed to. For many, the oncoming of spring means having access to fresh produce, maybe something grown locally instead of driven halfway across the country in an ice box. So I chose to make something that focused on vegetables that could be found during the late winter and early spring season with ease. I made a mushroom melt with Gruyère cheese and onions reduced in pale ale on whole wheat, served with a colorful and fresh tasting gazpacho slaw. On the side is a salad with whiskey-reduced onions, cornbread croutons and a freshly-made buttermilk dressing.
• 2-3 large portobello mushrooms, take off stems • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced • Soy sauce (low-sodium) or worcestershire sauce • 1/2 cup of a pale ale • Gruyère cheese, shredded • Butter • Canola oil • Salt and pepper to taste • Bread, sliced DIRECTIONS
Cut the mushrooms down into 1/2 inch slices and mix with the canola oil, soy sauce or worcestershire, salt and pepper and let marinate for at least five minutes. Bring a skillet to medium heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for about five minutes on one side, and turn and cook the other for another 3-5 minutes; until they are browned and tender. Remove mushrooms from heat and set aside. In the same skillet without the mushrooms removed, bring the skillet to medium heat and add a

tablespoon of oil. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook stirring rarely. Once the onions become a golden brown and are very tender, add 1/2 of a pale ale of your choice. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to lift any browned bits and cook until the smell of alcohol is removed. This should
take approximately 3 minutes. Take two slices of bread, add the mushrooms, onions and place the shredded Gruyère cheese on top. Butter the outside of the slice of bread and cook the sandwiches on a skillet until the cheese is melted and the bread is a golden brown.

get too big you burst into song,” Kessler said. The story centers around New York crapshooter Nathan Detroit and blonde bombshell Adelaide, who have been engaged for 14 years. Nathan illegally runs a crap game behind Adelaide’s back while she is hopelessly waiting for wedding bells. The bets are on when Sky Masterson, the infamous crapshooter, comes to town. Masterson, as smooth as his shimmery, baby blue suit and as greasy as his hair-gelled locks, never loses a bet. Nathan puts his luck to a test, betting Sky $1,000 he can’t win the affection of a mission doll, Sarah Brown, who wants the sinners of Broadway to “repent before it’s too late.” Previously, Ball State musicals have been made up of primarily musical theatre majors. When casting this production, Kessler made an effort to include actors and dancers as well. “The cast is one third dancers,

one third actors and one third musical theatre students,” senior acting major Derek Grabner said. Grabner is taking the stage as “Harry the Horse” in his first musical of college career and his final show before graduating.
Grabner said the most difficult part about transitioning from performing in plays to musicals is keeping counts. “Everything takes precise movement on exact lines and counts.” Acting and dance majors were pushed out of their comfort zones and forced to broaden their horizons in the first week of rehearsal, which focused only on singing the music. “We actually had to learn to read music,” Grabner said.

BASEBALL: Game times also declined after bat switch | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Senior Billy Wellman prepares to swing at the pitch during their double-header against Akron on April 16. The NCAA recently changed the bat standards for college play in an effort to improve league safety.
It’s so different, Wellman said he’s had to completely change his style of hitting to accommodate for the new bats. “With these bats, if you don’t hit it perfectly right, it’s not going out,� Wellman said. “I used to rely solely on my muscle to hit it out, but now I’ve had to learn to be more patient because I can’t always swing for the fences.� It isn’t just Wellman who’s had to make changes. Across the country, home run numbers are plummeting, along with the average runs scored per game and batting averages. Before the switch, teams were averaging nearly seven runs per game. Now, that’s fallen to 5.63. Box scores have seen the final numbers in hit and runs fall, along with pitchers ERA’s.

Pitchers used throw balls that danced around the strike zone, scared to throw along the inside wall of the strike zone because it was impossible for a batter to get jammed. Maloney admitted that the game may have been too offensively oriented, but thinks the NCAA has gone too far trying to scale back. “I don’t think a team should be hitting 120 home runs in a 50 game schedule, but I also don’t think a team should only hit 14,� Maloney said. “We need to find a bat that provides a happy medium between those two, around 50 per season.� Although many offensive statistics have fallen, Nathan said he believes it’s possible to see a slight rise in the numbers in the future. “As players become more ad-

79 homeruns, 453 hits, .264 batting average 2012
14 homeruns, 432 hits, .249 batting average
ept to using the new bats, it’s possible that we’ll see some of those numbers increase again,� Nathan said. As those numbers have diminished, so has the length of college baseball games. Maloney said that one of the reasons for the new bats may be to help
shorten the game. Games with the old bats averaged around three hours and 15 minutes, and it’s dropped to two hours and 45 minutes since the new bats were enabled. With the old bats, it was much easier for players to get on base because even making bad contact with the ball gave the player a decent chance to get a hit. Now, bad contact consistently results in an out. It’s a difference that Wellman has seen and had to adjust to. Wellman didn’t hesitate to say whether he’d like to go back to the old bats. “I would love to go back to the old bats,� he said. “I wish I could go back and use those bats again, there’s nothing like the sound that comes off the bat when you send one over the wall.�

Cardinals have tough road test Woody faces task of defending top scorer for Wildcats MATT McKINNEY ASST. SPORTS EDITOR | @Matt_D_McKinney In the Sweet 16 of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, every team is talented. That includes Ball State women’s basketball’s next opponent, Kansas State, tonight at 8 p.m. Kansas State is led by the second-leading scorer in the Big 12, senior guard Brittany Chambers. Chambers averaged 22.1 points per game throughout the season, second in her conference to probable Naismith College Player of the Year Brittany Griner. Ball State junior point guard Brandy Woody will be tasked with guarding Chambers throughout the evening. While it looks like a difficult challenge on paper, Woody has shown that she can defend some of the best guards not only in the Mid-American Conference this season, but in the entire country. In the first and second rounds of the WNIT, Brandy Woody defended Minnesota’s Rachel Banham and Northern Iowa’s Jacqui Kalin. Branham finished the season 13th in the country in points per game. Kalin wasn’t far behind her at 25. Ball State coach Brady Sallee believes that Chambers could be the best of the three, and the numbers back it up. She sits at No. 12 in the country in points per game. It’s kind of bizarre to have these three right in a row the way it’s worked out,” Sallee said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever run across this before. It’s a challenge.” Banham and Kalin came into their respective games averaging 40.2 combined points per game.

Junior guard Brandy Woody attempts the layup against Northern Iowa during their match March 17. Ball State will take on Kansas State today as part of the WNIT tournament.
Woody held them to 25 total points. Ball State coach Brady Sallee confirmed that Woody will be guarding Chambers throughout tonight’s game. “We’re gonna put [Woody] on her,” Sallee said. “That’s the easy part of the gameplan. ... I like my chances with Brandy guarding her. That’s for sure.” However, Chambers isn’t the only thing that Ball State has to account for in tonight’s game. “They really hunt for 3-point shots,” Sallee said. “Which is something a little bit different. They’re really, really trying to get up as many threes as they can.” Kansas State has made 302 3-point shots this season, good for fourth in the country. However, it the makes seem to come from volume shooting; Kansas State has attempted a conference-high 987 3-pointers this season, over 200 more than the next-highest team in the Big 12. It has made 30.6 percent of
its 3-pointers this season, which is just 142nd in the country. “We’re a team that clearly is built on keeping it out of the post,” Sallee said. “We’re going to have to play a little bit differently with this gameplan tomorrow since they do hunt the three so much.” Sallee said that it’s not his team’s goal to give up zero 3-point shot attempts to Kansas State, but to contest the ones they do give up. “If it’s 3-point shots that are guarded, we can live with it,” he said. “The ones we have to defend are the ones where they’re wide open. They do a great job of getting those shots.”

Schmidt hopes he renews ‘Punter U’ Redshirt studied under Kovanda for one season MAT MIKESELL SPORTS EDITOR | @MatMikesell It’s no secret that Ball State has become known to produce punters to the professional level. After redshirting under Scott Kovanda in 2012, Kyle Schmidt will be the new face at punter for the Cardinals, hoping to keep the tradition of “Punter U.” “It puts more pressure on me to step up and keep living up to that reputation,” Schmidt said. “It’s not so much intimidating, but it’s always in the back of my head.” Specialists are a different breed of players than the skill position players or the linemen. Watching them at practice, they seem to wander around on the sidelines in a group, stopping every once in awhile to punt or kick a ball. But they aren’t wasting their time during practice. There’s actually a method to their practice schedule. Special teams coach Justin Lustig said a punter’s approach is similar to a pitcher in baseball. A pitcher will have a limited amount of pitches he will throw in practice. For a punter, he has a desig-
nated number of punts he will take during practice. If they aren’t kicking with the team or on an individual session during practice, they’re doing stretching work outs with strength coach David Feeley. “It’s not like they can be kicking the entire practice, so you have to get a little creative with what they do,” Lustig said. When Kovanda was on roster, it was one less thing that Lustig had to worry about during practice. The Ray Guy finalist and All-Mid-American Conference selection was capable of being efficient with his practice time. But with him gone, the team now must focus on getting a punter ready for the season. “Anytime you replace a guy like Scott, it’s going to be difficult,” Lustig said. “[Schmidt] has big shoes to fill. He’s got to step up and put a lot of work in to get there.”

He said getting to study under him for a season was helpful, and was one of the best decisions he’s ever made. “[Kovanda] is one of the best in the country,” he said. “It really helped a lot to take a year off and fix things.”
