A four-game sweep certainly could not have been what the IU baseball team envisioned when it headed to Penn State looking to break a five-game losing streak. But the bad became worse for the Hoosiers as the Nittany Lions sank IU (15-22, 4-12) further into the Big Ten cellar.

Tommy John surgery. It’s a term thrown around a lot in modern-day sports circles, a sort of “wonder cure” for pitchers unfortunate enough to tear their ulnar collateral ligament, a band in the elbow necessary for throwing at competition speeds.
