Searching for one more win

·

The IU baseball team begins conference play this weekend fresh off a disappointing home loss to Wright State that denied coach Bob Morgan his 1,000th career victory. The Hoosiers (14-3) are headed west to take on the Fighting Illini of Illinois in a four-game series that begins today at 4:05 p.m. Aside from Wednesday's back-and-forth 7-6 shortcoming, IU has been nothing short of spectacular in the early going. Morgan's club is batting a solid .281 as a team and posts a league-best 2.64 earned run average, just a hair better than their weekend opponents who come in with an ERA of 2.65. Sophomore Corby Heckman heads to Champagne, Ill., with the league's fifth-best average, batting .418, and junior pitcher Chris Behrens (2-0) comes into the game with the Big Ten's lowest ERA at 0.92.
