All-stars compete at IU

Hoosiers take to the field in exhibition game

After falling to Big Ten leader Ohio State in two of the three games last weekend, the Hoosiers desperately need to get back on track to catch the Buckeyes.\nIU hopes to do that at 3 p.m. today at Sembower Field in an exhibition game against the Ontario Blue Jays, a 19-under all-star team.\nAlthough the game does not mean much on paper, the Hoosiers will look to some of the younger players for contributions. The exhibition game allows the players who have seen minimal playing time to play some quality innings.\nCoach Bob Morgan has been blessed with clutch performances from his bench all year, and he might even discover a new secret weapon today.\n"It's nice to play a game without pressure to win," Morgan said. "It gives the younger kids a chance to play and let's us look at kids in different positions." \nIn the future, some of the Ontario players could play for IU.\n"This game lets us see some of their players, and maybe we would recruit them in the future," Morgan said.
