One of the most popular locations on campus happens to have no official connections to the University. The Balleyhoo Bar and Pizza King Pizzeria happens to be one of Indiana State’s biggest attractions, partly because it is one of the only official dance clubs in Terre Haute, partly because it is the only bar on the ISU campus and partly because of everything else.

The Balley has been around for some time, holding a rather rich history.

“It got kind of crazy. We used to hold beer-slides. That’s where guys would line up outside on the sidewalk while you have beer cans opened all over the floor and people would slide across the floor,” said bar manager Gary Smith.

The Ballyhoo Tavern tends to be famous for one of two reasons: 1. they, as mentioned before, are one of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

SETH YATES Contributor Previous Interim Director Joe Newport has officially accepted the position of full Director for Public Safety and Police Chief for Indiana State University’s public safety.

The assessment lasted for three months since the retirement of former Chief Bill Mercier on January 1st. Vice President of Business Affairs and University Treasurer Diann McKee believes that this is the best move for

public safety and the university as a whole.

“His performance as an interim has been outstanding,” McKee said. “He certainly meets all of the qualifications. Not only in his experience as a line officer but in the command positions he has held on campus and in the city of Terre Haute.”

She also said that she is personally very excited for Newport as he takes great care to keep track of the needs of not

only campus but the student body. The position he has held in the department since 1999 still needs to be filled.

“We will begin a search for a new associate director and hope to have that position filled for the fall semester,” McKee said.

Newport is glad that the official decision has been made but is more importantly focusing on the tasks at hand: namely the job CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Sycamore Revival The ISU yearbook is making a comeback Dustyn Fatheree Contributor Indiana State University students, faculty and staff in May will have the opportunity to purchase a studentproduced “yearbook” that showcases the 2013-2014 school year from the student perspective.

“It’s a yearbook, but then again it’s not,” said Student Publications Director Rachel Wedding McClelland who oversees the student staff that’s producing the publication.

“When people think yearbook, they often think headshots of every student in the school,” McClelland said. “But that’s not what people should expect. This is more of a year in review look at ISU with stories and pictures that capture the highlights of the year.”

Indiana State’s yearbook was discontinued in 1993 due to an excessive amount of books not being purchased.

President Dan Bradley pushed to bring it back this year, but with a new plan.

“Yearbooks will be published online and available in print form,” Bradley said. “People can order a hard copy the day it is available or 20 years down the road.”

Online editions will be free to view as many times as people want, he said. The book will aim to focus on the highlights of attending Indiana State.

Sara Palmer, an English graduate student, is the yearbook’s editor-in-chief who is coordinating the effort of the 12 students working on the product.

“There was a lot of flexibility as far as the direction it could go,” Palmer said. “It was very important for the Student Media Department, President Bradley and the administration that this be a student-centered piece about students, by students, for students.”

Palmer said the theme this year is “Proud to be a Tree” which focuses on Sycamore pride and unique aspects of Indiana State.

Students have been at work since August documenting from the student perspective the activities underway on campus for a new version of “The Sycamore” yearbook, last produced in 1993 (Photo by Kira Clouse).

The yearbook staff is also highlighting this-year-only special events such as Larry Bird coming to Terre Haute for a scholarship dinner and statue dedication.

“It’ll be mostly photos, features, profiles and blurbs that talk about all the different types of community engagement activities that went on this year,” she said.

Palmer said the book is categorized into five sections including pride in academics, pride in athletics, pride in state success, pride in state life and pride in service.

It’s not unlike the way the yearbook of Indiana State Teacher’s College was organized in 1961’s edition of the “Analyst,” featuring sections on the administration and faculty, clubs, organizations and sports and classes.

The articles were a short two to six paragraphs long, but in the 1993 edition of “Blending into One,” the articles were more extensive, often reaching to multiple pages.

Staff members say they’ve had the opportunity this year to learn and adapt on the job.

“At first I was a little intimidated about going out and interviewing people for stories,” said Esther Perisho, a yearbook staff writer and freshman biology major. “As I started getting out there more and talking to people more, I grew more confidence. And I feel that because of the yearbook, I grew a lot as a student and a person.”

Nicole Jones, a yearbook page designer and freshman art major said working with this group has given her opportunities to gain diverse experience.

“Everyone picks up each other’s slack,” Jones said.

“I’ve written some a few stories, took some pictures – I am primarily a page designer though. Starting off, we didn’t know each other yet, but as we progressed we started to figure each other out.”

Both Jones and Perisho plan to come back next year with new goals and expectations.

“I want to work to sharpen my skills,” Jones said.

Palmer said she doesn’t want to use the “first-year trial” excuse to dismiss quality.

Based on a theory Palmer made, the first waffle is always flawed, and the second one is of a much higher quality, she doesn’t want the yearbook to be the first waffle.

“This is not going to be the ‘this is the first year so we are learning the kinks,’” Palmer said. “This is the first year, and we are setting the standard.”

The yearbook is expected to be available for viewing online, as well as for purchase, beginning May 15. Those interested in viewing it or purchasing a copy should visit www.isustudentmedia.com for more details.

Student Government Association chooses new leader

Andrew Christman News Editor

The changing of the guard for the SGA president has officially taken place.

Olivia Finley, the new president of SGA takes over for former president, Logan Valentine.

The elections ran a bit differently compared to years past, with only one candidate running for the Vice President and President positions.

Instead of the usual competitive elections, Finley ran for President and Dan Dooley ran for Vice President, which left them only needing to receive more approves than disapproves to be elected.

There were also 35 seats up for grabs for Senator but only 20 people ran for the position. Like the President and Vice President elections, there was a vote of approval for all of the candidates.

Finley is very excited about being elected President and believes Dooley, along with herself will bring a lot of good things to Indiana State.

“Dan and I have created what we believe to be a very strong platform for the upcoming year. We are very excited to be able to hold these positions for Student Government and we cannot wait to

continue to better our campus,” she said.

They have three key points that will bring things together and allow room for many new ideas and possibilities.

“Our first main point is student involvement. We would like to get more students involved in organizations throughout campus. We believe that being involved on campus can potentially help a student academically, socially, and also make them feel like Indiana State is their home.”

Their second key point has to do with student retention.

“We would love to see more students stay at ISU to continue their higher education. This goes back to the student involvement on campus,” she said. “But, with this point we wish to create new programs and activities to welcome students and allow them to become more aware about what great offers this campus has to give!”

The new SGA president’s last key point is about faculty and staff relations.

“We hope to make availability of professors and students more accommodating to each other. Logan has already started us off this year and

we wish to continue to grow from his accomplishments,” she said.

Logan Valentine, current SGA President is very appreciative for the time he spent at the helm of the Student Government.

“My time as SGA president will always be a significant part of my life. Student Government has allowed me to grow as an individual, while also helping the University that provided me with the opportunities to become the man I am today,” he said.

The 20 candidates that will make up the Senate are: Bethany Alkire, Morgan Chaney, Daniel Connolly, BreAnna Donaldson, Andrew Garnes, Makenna Graham, Lena Grunloh, Brendin Humrickhouse, Matthew Janeway, Lauren Karcher, Katherine Lugar, Davontae Reynolds, Michael Shepard, Mary Sum, Brandon Tamayo, Cecilia Van Wijk, Samuel Wetherell, Joseph Worthington and Zach Wittman.

7th & Elm joins Creative Writing for Open Mic Night Kristi Ashby Reporter The Creative Writing Society will be hosting an open mic night Friday, April 4 from 9:00pm to midnight at 7th and Elm Bar and Grill.

This is an event where anyone can read their public works to let other hear what they have been working on.

All ages are invited to attend open mic night.

The event will be held upstairs at the bar and is located just north of Indiana State University campus.

Martin Maynard, the vice president of the creative writing society and a graduate student who majored in English, is expecting a great turnout for the event.

“I expected around 35-40 people to be in attendance for the open mic night,” Maynard said. “I just want everyone to remember that anyone can come; age is not a factor.”

The purpose of open mic night is to allow people a chance to openly share their work with others through reading their writings out loud.

Anyone is allowed to read at the event but they must have their own original piece of writing to present.

People wishing to read at open mic night must arrive early to sign up to read their works.

Some students think this is a great way for students to express themselves openly.

Students are invited to join the Creative Writing Society at the 7 & Elm Bar and Grill tonight, 9 p.m. until midnight (Submitted photos).

One such student is Tulsi Vaid. Vaid is a freshman majoring in biology and thinks open mic night is great idea and could be a very inspirational night for those who attend.

“This is such a wonderful idea of how people can express themselves,” Vaid said.

“These people can read their works and be recognized for their own unique talents.

After hearing these people speak, others could be inspired to write their own works or if they already write to read them out loud at the next event.”

This event will be free and open to

Indiana State and Terre Haute community.

Free food and drinks will be provided for those who attend.

The Creative Writing Society is having open mic night in hopes to start a program to help aspiring authors in the local area.

If there is great participation from the community and many spectators to watch the authors read their works, the club plans on having open mic nights on a regular basis.

7th and Elm Bar and Grill is hoping this event will generate more business.

“The bar is hoping to receive more business from open mic night,” Alyssa Henderson said, a server at the bar and grill. “We hope people will be buying drinks that come to the event. This will draw more attention to the Creative Writing Society and 7th and Elm Bar and Grill.”

As of now this is the only open mic night planned but through great participation from the community creative writing society plans on making this a big event.

The event kicks off at 9:00 pm the club expects great participation so they may start planning their next open mic night for the surrounding community.

High school sports and music: a continuing funding battle

Music has always been a part of my life. Growing up, I was surrounded by music and a family of musicians.

When I got to sixth grade, it was finally time for me to pick an instrument. Music had always been my favorite class in elementary school, so of course I Opinions intended to learn an instrument.

Editor After a lot of consideration, I decided to take up the violin. I loved it so much that I continued to play throughout middle and high school, and now I still play in college.

I made lasting relationships with people and it was a fun hobby. The best part of it, though, was creating

something with the orchestra and growing as a musician at the same time.

Even though I was by no means an athlete, I had also maintained a fairly neutral relationship with sports throughout school. Until I reached high school, that is.

Sports can be a good thing and many people enjoy them, but the same can be said for music. So why is there such a difference in how schools treat sports programs and music programs?

I think we can all agree that football really does bring in a lot of money for high schools and they have some great benefits, but there’s a flip side to every coin.

The most important thing about sports is that they keep us fit and are fun.

Sports help build teamwork and can help with strategy. Sports also teach children and adolescents to keep a goal in mind

as well as sportsmanship, but sometimes it goes too far and becomes an absolute focus on winning.

Due to the physical nature of many sports, there is a large risk for injury.

Many sports-related injuries are from simply overdoing it.

There has been a increase in sports related injuries in the last few decades as parents push their children or they push themselves too hard for that Olympic dream or for that full ride scholarship.

Aside from the risks from the sport alone, there have been many cases lately of hazing in high school and college football teams and many scandals involving coaches.

While music programs don’t bring in as much money for schools as football — or sports in general — learning a musical instrument has many of the same benefits as sports plus extras.

Music can teach teamwork and focus as well as any sport, but when students learn an instrument it is shown to improve SAT and IQ scores, it allows for an emotional release and it is also fulfilling— all without the risk of injury.

Music has also been shown to improve cognitive abilities, math and language scores and attention to detail. But still, music programs are being cut from school curriculums. You rarely hear about scandals from a music program.

When it comes to budget cuts, things have to give sometimes. I can understand some cuts in music funding, but music and art shouldn’t be the only programs to lose out.

Some sports funding should go toward the other programs to balance them out and allow all students the opportunities that they want to pursue.

France is known for being host to numerous highly divisive laws that place restrictions on the actions and clothing of women. Recently the French government banned the burqa — the traditional, Muslim clothing for women — in public places.

Now they have started Photo attacking high heels.

Editor After a young woman lost control of her vehicle and struck another driver, she claimed compensation from the other driver’s insurance company. When her claim was taken to court she initially won the case, yet a later appeals court overturned the ruling. Their main reasoning being: high heels.

The court considered that the driver was wearing a pair of high heels and then considered them to be the main reason for the accident. How, in a society

in which women are expected to dress impeccably and look flawless around the clock, can wearing high heels be considered an offense? Much like any controversy there are two sides standing strong with substantial support.

Many women forget that high heels were originally created for men. Moving past the age when the heeled shoes were used for horseback riding, history shows that the French royalty were particularly fond of high heels. It was a sign of wealth, as they were not expected to walk far or do any form of intensive labor.

Yet now women are expected to do everything in heels, even driving. In those times, the overpowering patriarchy is greatly visible, holding women within its grasp. Many feminists believe that women are being objectified simply based off of their clothing.

Which, in part, they are; the oversexualizing of women and girls is often encouraged by the current fashion trends. Models are required to wear six-inch heels while remaining within a

weight range meant for eight-year-old boys. Girls are expected to don high heels for each and every formal dance they attend, and walk in them expertly for hours.

Men choose to regulate what women wear in order to have a better hold on society for fear of losing their patriarchal control, as seen by the burqa ruling in France. By following the regulations set forth by men who have probably never worn women’s clothing, women force themselves into molds that strip away a person’s identity. We become the labels that are pasted across us: “slut,” “bossy,” “b***h,” “whore,” “prude.”

Breaking from the labels and the regulations, the rules and the expectations are hard, but possible.

Obviously women have to wear clothing — nudism isn’t always accepted.

Choosing to dress how you wish is a right that should be available to everyone, whether they choose to cover themselves or strip down.

There are feminists, myself included,

who believe that by owning up to the labels and taking them for ourselves we are proving to the world we are our own person. High heels don’t define a person any more than a new handbag does.

High heels changed from an absolute sign of power and masculinity into the epitome of femininity and womanliness by changing what it means to be a man. Forcing women into an expected wardrobe affects men as well; our society is layered in contradictions and double standards.

Therefore, choose to wear what you feel represents yourself. If you feel closer to Allah by wearing a hijab, then wear your hijab. If wearing heels empowers you, then wear heels.

Nothing is wrong with any clothing if you woke up and made a conscious choice to put it on your body. You don’t have to have a reason or a meaning behind it. So feminists of the world, if you want to wear heels, then continue crushing the patriarchy one heeled step at a time.

How do you feel about parking on campus?

Parking has become a hot topic on campus recently with the new dorm buildings being built over an old lot. Many students seem to feel that there isn’t enough or that there simply isn’t enough convenient parking. Commuting and working off campus can be difficult due to the lack of parking close to classes and dormitories (Statesman File Photo).

Local Yogurt in Love caters to Indiana State students Cassandra Hauser Features Editor Yogurt in Love is a larger franchise, but the Terre Haute location is owned by a local family who opened the business in September 2013. Located on Wabash Avenue, Yogurt in Love is the perfect spot for students living on Indiana State University’s campus to conveniently walk to get a cup of frozen yogurt.

The environment is inviting with its bright-blue walls, heart-shaped lanterns, and pink-tiled counters. For employee Allison McWilliams, one of her favorite parts of working at Yogurt in Love is the atmosphere.

“We try to create a happy environment for customers,” said McWilliams. “It’s about that positive energy.”

While the business receives customers of all different ages, the frozen yogurt trend seems to particularly appeal to college-aged people. “I like the fact that if you guess the weight of your yogurt, you get it for free. That is something that sets it apart from all of the other yogurt places I’ve been to,” Ellery Steele, junior biology major, said.

When customers arrive at the store, they can get as much as they want. Then, they get the opportunity to guess the

weight of their cup at the cash register.

If customers guess the weight of the yogurt correctly, they not only get their cup free, but they also get their picture taken to appear on all of Yogurt in Love’s social media pages. The establishment has Facebook, Twitter, and Instragram accounts for customers to follow.

“We try to create a happy environment for customers. It’s about that positive energy.”

Allison McWilliams Yogurt in Love employee The store also offers other promotional offers. Recently, they implemented a rewards card called “Spot On,” and if a customer buys ten cups of yogurt, the eleventh is free up to a ten-dollar value. On Monday through Wednesday, the store has “happy hour” from 123. During this time, customers receive 15 percent off of their frozen yogurt.

College students can also receive a 15 percent discount on any day by bringing in their student identification card.

Yogurt in Love hosts a variety of flavors and toppings such as fruit, sprinkles, and candy pieces to cater to the different tastes of their customers (photo by Ayden Jent).

Michelle Campbell, shift manager, believes that they are set apart from other places because of the options which they provide. They offer new flavors every two to three weeks while also offering over fifty toppings. They have options ranging from chocolate syrup to waffle bits to fruit, for those who want to make healthier choices.

“I like the amount of fruit toppings they have available because it gives people a healthier option, rather than just candy,” Steele said. In addition to healthier options, they also provide options for people with strict diets, such as sorbet flavors for customers who can’t have dairy. For customers with concerns regarding nutrition, Yogurt in Love

posts the nutritional information above each flavor of yogurt, and they also have a book — open to customer viewing — which gives a more in-depth look at what is in the yogurt.

Although they have many options, employee Jeremy Gunder thinks it’s the people that keep customers willing to visit the store.

“We seem like a family. Everybody helps each other.” said Gunter.

For fans of frozen yogurt, Yogurt in Love will be holding an event in April with door prizes and free yogurt.

The event has no official date yet, but customers should look to their social media websites to keep up-to-date on their event.

Patrons are also invited to request their favorite songs Reason 2: the Balleyhoo Tavern holds regular themed parties including Cowboy parties with a mechanical bull, Foam parties where they flood the bar with bubbles and the weekly “Freedom Fridays” party where specials include $1 Fireball whisky shots, $2 Pabbs Blue Ribbon cans and $3 Salute vodka. Bally also holds rotating daily specials with feature specials during their parties.

“We’re actually hoping to have a beach party coming up here soon,” said Smith.

“We’re really excited for that. We’re going to have a mechanical surfboard.”

Between heritage and location, the Ballyhoo is certainly no stranger to supporting ISU. Both the previous owner as well as the current are alumni of Indiana State and wanted to keep it within the family, so to speak. One instance of the Bally’s support could be when exceptional members of the ISU athletics association graduate, they may hang their jersey en memorandum. They also hold regular programs for ISU football, basketball and other sports, even hosting the official pre-game celebration for the 2014 homecoming with the “Rally at the Bally” event.

“It really blows my mind why you wouldn’t want to cater to such a large audience,” said Smith, referencing the ISU student public. “We don’t cater exclusively to ISU. We also have Rose Hulman and Saint Mary comes by, but because of our distance from the campus and all, we mainly see ISU students.”

Bally houses an outdoor patio, front bar with full set-up and about five booths, and a back bar with a full-sized dance floor.

The Ballyhoo Tavern is but on of many bars located in Terre Haute, but offers exclusive features such as a full dance floor and themed parties. While some have complaints about the number of people, the staff will swear by their reputation (photos by Samual Clark).

Capable of housing roughly 80 people at Conley said “It’s OK. I’ve been to better and one point, the bar worse bars.

exciting to hear about because you can’t go to it yet. Then you hit 21 and you go and experience it for the first time and it’s “the best bar ever!” As you get older though, as in my case, it’s not the most exciting place and honestly it’s rather annoying.

Most of the students who go there are all younger and I don’t know them. I like to go to places where at least I know the people. I’ve become more of a laid back person and I go more to The Verve now because it’s more chill – and I can actually get served there.”

Smith however would greatly disagree, citing their excellent service as one of the many reasons that students ought to come out and join the party.

“We give the fastest service in town. Plus, our weekend specials are pretty cheap. In fact, several alumni happen to have met their husbands and wives here. Not saying that we’re the love boat or anything, but hey, who knows?”

Whether you’re looking to meet your future husband or wife or just looking to dance your tail off, the Bally lies on the corner of Chestnut and 8th street. Just be prepared for a party, and a possible line.

Student Recreation Center hosts classes and events Allen Zielinski Reporter It can be quite an intimidating activity.

Many people know the feeling of walking into the local house of workout and feeling as though they have no idea how to use half of the equipment or worrying that they are no where near everyone else’s level of exercise expertise.

Fortunately, programs like the Group X Fitness classes at the Student Rec Center offer a bounty of programs to help people out.

Assistant Director of Fitness and Reservations, Kimberly Monte, not only facilitates the list of Group X Fitness classes and instructors but she attends each of them as well.

“I have attended every class we offer... and have taught a variety of classes,” explained Monte. As director, it matters that she knows what class participants are getting out of their workouts. From kettlebell classes to yoga, and workouts intended for the water, Monte remains busy working to encourage more people to try out the group workout dynamic.

One of the main benefits of the fitness classes is the ability to show up without a plan. No pre-set workout regimen is needed since all exercise is instructor guided. As well, this set up gets students to stay for the duration of the workout which often does not happen when exercising alone.

It is this basic structure that fosters the helpful environment for classes that offer more intense fitness regimens like BODYPUMP. Rather than moving in unison with the rest of the group, BODYPUMP offers people a slightly individualized workout, focused on toning and conditioning with weights.

While students can go to the Recreation Center to work out on the many exercise machines available, they can also choose to go to classes and events, such as Zumba, BODYPUMP, yoga, and others (photos courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).

Monte encourages people that may feel apprehensive about group classes to try more individualized classes like this where the weights may be different, but everyone is doing the same exercise.

With the seemingly large amount of

Sycamores smash in shortened contest Alex Modesitt Sports Editor On a cold and rainy Wednesday evening, the Governors of Austin Peay University squared off with the Sycamores in a midweek baseball matchup at Bob Warn Field. Indiana State was leading 3-0 when lightning ended the game in the top half of the seventh inning.

Getting the start on the mound for the Sycamores was freshman left hander, Trent Lunsford. Lunsford gave up a hit on the very first pitch of the game but got back on his feet by striking out the next batter in the Governors’ line up. The number three hitter for Austin Peay got another hit for the Governors, who looked like they would get on the board early against the Sycamores. Lunsford was able to get out of the inning unscathed, however, when the senior shortstop Tyler Wampler caught a line drive and flipped the ball to second base for the inning-saving double play.

Junior center fielder Landon Curry got the bottom of the first inning started off right for the Sycamores, laying a bunt down the third-base line and beating the throw to first for the single. Senior third baseman Cody Zimmerman thought that if it worked once it might work again, and hit a bunt down the third-base line and reached first base on a throwing error from the Austin Peay third baseman.

Junior Jacob Hayes hit into a fielder’s choice with the out coming at second base.

The Sycamores had runners at first and third with just one out in the inning. The next two Indiana State batters would fail to reach base however, and the Sycamores headed back to the dugout knowing they left a man in prime scoring position.

The top of the second inning began much the same way as the first, with the Governors getting their first man aboard with no outs. After allowing the Austin Peay base runner to steal second base, Lunsford would catch him in no man’s land between second and third bases and threw him out trying to get back to second

for the first out of the inning. Lunsford then retired the next two hitters for a 1-23 inning.

Wampler was due up first in the bottom of the second inning but couldn’t get much going, and eventually popped a ball up behind home plate that was caught for the first out of the inning. Junior left fielder Connor McClain was second up for the Sycamores but hit a grounder toward first base that was corralled for the second out of the inning.

Junior second baseman Derek Hannahs got the hitting started for the Sycamores in the bottom of the second inning with a towering double down the left-field line.

Sophomore first baseman Jeff Zahn then hit a double of his own to score Hannahs

from second and gave Indiana State a 1-0 lead. The inning ended when Curry hit a grounder towards first that was relayed to the pitcher for the out.

Lunsford walked the first batter he faced in the third inning to allow the Governors to reach first base with no outs for the third consecutive inning. Lunsford had no trouble finding the strike zone against Austin Peay’s number nine hitter though, striking him out for the first out of the inning. Lunsford once again got some help from his defense as the Sycamores turned another double play to end the half inning.

advanced to second on a fielder’s choice hit by Hayes. Junior designated hitter Brian Romero extended the inning for Indiana State with an RBI single that extended the Sycamore lead to 2-0. After just 2.2 innings of work, the Governors pulled their starting pitcher. The next Indiana State batter grounded out against the relief pitcher to end the third inning.

After three innings of work junior righthander Nick Kolarik replaced Lunsford on the mound. Unlike Lunsford, Kolarik was able to get the Austin Peay leadoff hitter out, thanks to a fly ball to center field. Kolarik then struck out the next Governor batter and forced a fly out to left to end another 1-2-3 inning.

McClain led off the bottom of the fourth for the Sycamores but hit a fly ball into foul territory for the first out.

Hannahs followed up the out with a single that found its way between the third baseman and the shortstop. Zahn then hit a grounder to first for the second out of the inning, but moved Hannahs over to second to put him in scoring posistion.

Curry was unable to take advantage of the runner in scoring position, by grounding out to end the inning.

Korlak stuck out the first batter he faced to begin the fifth inning and then got the next batter to line out for two quick outs.

Lunsford then walked the next batter to give the Governors a man on first base with two outs. Like a girls who couldn’t settle on a particular outfit, Indiana State once again changed pitchers. Junior righthander A.J. McEldery replaced Korlak and closed out the inning with fly ball out to left-center field.

Zimmerman led off the bottom of the fifth inning for the Sycamores but got caught first-pitch swinging and lifted a ball in left field for an easy out. Hayes was next up for Indiana State and made solid contact with the ball but the Austin Peay center fielder was able to get under it for the second out of the inning.

Fitzgerald showed off his patience for the Sycamores, drawing a walk to get a man aboard for Indiana State.

Junior Manuel Estevez came in to hit for Romero, but grounded out to second to end the inning.

With dark clouds beginning to rear their ugly faces on the horizon, McEldery began the top of the sixth inning with a strikeout. He was then able to get the second out of the inning off of a fly ball to center and finished off the Governors’

half inning with a groundout to first base.

Wampler was the first man up for the Sycamores in the bottom of the sixth inning and laid down yet another bunt that landed him safely on first base. After McClain struck out, Hannahs hit his third ball of the game into right field to put runners at the corners with only one out.

Zahn hit an RBI sac-fly to straightaway center field to score Wampler from third.

The sac-fly gave the Sycamores a 3-0 lead.

Senior right-hander Josh Dove got the call from the bullpen to begin the top of the seventh inning for the Sycamores.

After giving up a walk against the first

batter he faced, Dove got what what would end up being the final out of the game off of a catch in foul territory near left field.

At 8:00 the game was stopped due to lightning in the vicinity of the stadium.

The game was not resumed.

The Sycamores will return to action today against conference foe Wichita State. The first game of the three-game series is set to begin at 6:30 this evening at Bob Warn Field. The second game will be played on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and the final game of the series will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.
