Liz Watson arrives at her vote count party Tuesday, May 8, at Nick’s English Hut.
Ready to fight Liz Watson won the Democratic primary. She is now set to challenge Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-9th District, for his Congressional seat. By Katelyn Haas haask@iu.edu | @khaas96
With 24 percent reporting by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Liz Watson was declared the winner of the 9th Congressional District race by multiple news sources. Liz Watson and her campaign team, along with a crowd of about 60 people, waited with pizza and beer Tuesday night in the upstairs room of Nick’s English Hut to see if she would defeat challengers Dan Canon and Rob Chatlos in the Democratic primary for U.S. House Indiana’s 9th Congressional district. They didn’t have to wait long. Jordan Kehrt, a staff member on Watson’s campaign, said he was shocked at how early the race was called. They thought it was too early, with not even half of the precincts reporting before 8 p.m. But by 8:10 p.m., with 53 percent
of 571 precincts reporting, Politico called the race for Watson. Staff members said they were confused when they started seeing news outlets, including Politico, WTHR and the New York Times, all

Omni headlines show at The Bishop Bar By Kathleen Clark-Perez kpclark@iu.edu | @KatPerezIN
The house lights dimmed and purple stage lights remained as the six-member band, Spissy, took the stage Tuesday night at the Bishop Bar. Spissy, an indie Bloomington band led by guitarists Ben Lumsdaine and Aaron Denton, started off the evening with songs from its latest album “Easy Mirror.” A satisfied smile graced Lumsdaine’s face when the band performed its first song, “Sophie.” “I’ma sit right here,” Denton sang. “Friday night at the movies you are scooting near.” Lumsdaine provided upper harmony to Denton’s lyrics, and Kristin Olson delivered percussion with bongo drums and a glow-in-the-dark shaker. After the second song, “Nothing Boy,” an audience member hooted several times in a row amid a silent audience. The crowd laughed. “This is a bit awkward for me,” Denton said. Later in the show, Spissy played the song “Say Hello.” Denton’s echoing vocals and Lumsdaine’s catchy guitar riffs had the crowd bobbing and swaying. “I’ve been thinking a little too much,” Denton sang. “Like maybe all I’ve got isn’t enough.” Following Spissy’s set, Olden Yolk, a New York-based indie band, performed. Video footage of sand falling through hands, butterfly wings fluttering and flowers blowing in the wind flickered on a projector screen behind the band. Shane Butler played acoustic guitar and sang while Caity Shaf-

fer played synth for the song “Cut To The Quick.” “It’s a love that gets you out on the street,” Butler sang. Omni, a post-punk trio from Atlanta, was the final band to perform. Bassist and vocalist, Philip Frobos, greeted the crowd and the audience members shrieked with joy. Audience members shrieked
again when the first song “Afterlife” began. “I’ve been feeling a lot more stately, now that I know my death,” Frobos sang. Guitarist Frankie Broyles was previously a member of the rock band Deerhunter. Broyles maintained a serious look throughout the show while playing intense
A 17-year-old girl reported to police Tuesday she had been raped by three 17-year-old boys at approximately 2 a.m. the same day. The girl had been using Snapchat and FaceTime to communicate with one of the suspects from a friend's house on the east side of town. At some point during the conversation, according to police records, the girl agreed to come over to the suspect's house and hang out, but she told them she didn't want to do anything. When she arrived, three black 17-year-old males were present — one of whom she had been messaging — along with an 11-year-old. She knew two of the 17-year-olds personally and knew the other one by first name only. She did not know the 11-year-old, according to police. The three boys then took her up to a room where they raped her. The girl returned at approximately 5 a.m. to her friend's house, where she was staying the night, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. Later that morning, the girl's friend noticed she had been crying and convinced her to talk about the rape and to go to IU Health Bloomington Hospital. Kellams said the mother of the girl met them at the hospital and that's when the police were contacted. BPD is looking for the three suspects, Kellams said, and the case remains active.

IU suffers 7-6 loss to No. 21 Kentucky By Auston Matricardi amatrica@iu.edu | @a_mat24
On Tuesday night, IU had an opportunity to break out of its recent slump on a national stage against the No. 21 Kentucky Wildcats at Bart Kaufman Field. In front of a season-high 2,822 fans, the Hoosiers failed to take advantage of scoring opportunities time and time again, eventually losing 7-6 after a back-and-forth game that lasted nearly four hours. “It’s been like that for two weeks, we just keep losing close games,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “We’re leaving guys out there and not executing.” Kentucky (31-17, 11-13) got off to a hot start, scoring a run in the top of the first inning when senior third baseman Luke Heyer doubled off the center field wall. The Wildcats would extend the lead in the fourth, tacking on a trio of runs via a sac fly, a double and a single to make the score 4-0. The Hoosiers battled back and picked up a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth on a sac fly from freshman utility player Drew Ashley and an infield single from sophomore shortstop Jeremy Houston. However, from that point on, Kentucky would manage to stay one step ahead of the Hoosiers. Heyer would go deep in the top of the fifth, hitting the ball over the left field wall and over the Hoosier bullpen, to bring the lead back to four runs for the Wildcats. In the bottom of the inning, the Hoosiers would chip away at the lead with an RBI single by sophomore outfielder Matt Gorski and a home run from junior catcher Ryan Fineman to cut the Kentucky lead to 6-5. It was a pitcher’s duel from that point on with IU freshman Tommy Sommer and senior B.J. Sabol combining to allow just one run on four hits. The duo struck out eight batters during nearly five innings pitched. Four Wildcat pitchers would also combine to allow just one run over the last four innings of the game. “I thought Tommy pitched really well, and B.J.,” Lemonis said. ”I thought that’s a really good lineup over there, so I was pleased with those two guys at the end.” The loss continues a stretch of the season that has been particularly rough for IU (31-14, 9-8). It has lost its last four games. ”Besides that Saturday game at Minnesota, we’ve been in every game,” Lemonis said, “It’s a one-run, two-run game across the board and we’re just not taking care of business.”
