ISU chosen for NCAA baseball tournament

Todd Golden The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Mon May 28, 2012, 04:12 PM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — The Indiana State baseball team got its wish on Monday as it was chosen as an at-large team to play in the NCAA baseball tournament.

The surprise turned out to be where the Sycamores will play.

ISU (41-17) will open NCAA play against Cal-State Fullerton on Friday at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Ore. The game time has yet to be determined.

The site was a major surprise. Every tournament projection up until Sunday night had the Sycamores slated to play at the Purdue Regional in Gary.

Cal State-Fullerton (35-19) won the Big West Conference championship. The Titans are the No. 2 seed in the four-team regional. The Sycamores are the No. 3 seed. Top-seeded Oregon will play Ohio Valley Conference tournament champion Austin Peay in Friday's other game.

The double-elimination regional will take place at Eugene's PK Park from Friday to Sunday or next Monday.

The Sycamores got a difficult draw. Fullerton was considered to have an outside shot at hosting a regional itself. The Titans' RPI is 20. They won series against two NCAA Tournament teams (TCU and Texas A&M) and beat the top-seeded team in the tournament, Florida, in a Feb. 19 game. The Titans have also won four College World Series, most recently in 2004.

The man who scored the winning run for the Titans in the 2004 CWS was Ronnie Prettyman. He is currently in his first year as an assistant coach on ISU's staff.

Oregon (42-17) finished runner-up in the Pac-12 Conference. The Ducks are coached by George Horton, Prettyman's former coach at Fullerton.

ISU's at-large bid was the first at-large NCAA selection for any ISU sport since the men's basketball team received an at-large bid in 2000.

• FROM THE PRESS BOX: Close, but no cigar, theme for ISU sports in 2012-13

  When I covered my first event of Indiana State’s 2012-13 season — ISU’s opening football game at Indiana — I was the first one in the press box at IU’s Memorial Stadium. I’m never the first one in the press box.
  Maybe the prospect of ISU’s season had me so pumped that I decided to get it started close to three hours early? (Or more truthfully, maybe I was over-vigilent about predicted traffic horrors on the Indiana 46 bypass that never came to pass.)

• Mike Lucas joins ISU football staff

  What traits do head football coaches seek out when they hire position coaches?
  Indiana State football coach Mike Sanford provided insight into that question as he hired former Southeast Louisiana head coach Mike Lucas to his staff Tuesday. Lucas will be the Sycamores’ defensive line coach.
  “You have to look at your staff and see what you need. I felt like in this particular case, I wanted an experienced defensive line coach. I feel like we have a mixture of experience and youth and I want to keep that going,” Sanford said.

• Sycamores bow out of MVC Tournament

  Indiana State’s baseball was out of pitching, and after a loss to Wichita State on Thursday, the Sycamores were out of second-chances too at the Missouri Valley Conference baseball tournament. What the Sycamores weren’t out of was heart, guts and clutch performances from some unlikely sources. But in the end, Friday’s elimination game rematch against the Shockers was a sampling of ISU’s season overall — the Sycamores were out of luck.

• ISU baseball team builds on success with 14-2 rout

  Indiana State’s baseball victory over Alcorn State on Friday would take on more meaning Saturday if the Sycamores could build momentum and pick up on the good work they did in Friday’s ninth-inning rally.
  Mission accomplished.
  The Sycamores were aggressive from the opening inning at the plate and starting pitcher Devin Moore gave them eight valuable and effective innings on the mound as ISU defeated Alcorn State 14-2 at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a really good experience for everybody. It felt great to finally come out here and put some things together. It’s also really nice when your offense puts a lot of runs on the board,” Moore said.
  Moore’s eight innings of work were as valuable as gold to an ISU team that is short on quality arms due to injury and ineffectiveness. He didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning and one of the two runs he conceded was unearned.

• ISU earns badly-needed win

  Alcorn State’s baseball team might be ranked in the bottom 10 in RPI and Indiana State might have never lost to a Southwestern Athletic Conference team. So it wouldn’t appear that a quality win was in the offing when Alcorn State visited Bob Warn Field on Friday.

• ISU pole vault tradition continues with help from its author

  Pole vault is track and field for the adrenaline junkie, Indiana State senior Nicole Hope proclaimed during a recent practice at Marks Field.
  To catapult oneself about 14 feet into the air with a large $500 fiberglass pole on a daily basis is a risky endeavor.
  “We have to be fearless. You can’t be afraid at all,” said Hope, who has also catapulted herself into the NCAA’s elite in the event, ranking 15th in the NCAA with her leap of 13-feet, 9 1/4.

• Lansing looking for more home games for next fall

  Indiana State’s men’s basketball team is looking for a few good games.
  Home games that is.
  The Sycamores have filled in most of the blanks in their nonconference schedule, but as ever, ISU coach Greg Lansing would like to visit the friendly confines of Hulman Center a bit more often.

• ISU baseball gets back into rhythm with victory

  Baseball is a rhythm game. With contests every day or five times a week in the case of many college programs, you have the chance to build on success or wallow in a slump.
  Mother Nature took that rhythm away from Indiana State’s team last week. After a 7-1 loss to Indiana on April 24, ISU was supposed to play a three-game series at Tennessee-Martin, but it was wiped out by rain.
  So the rhythm was disturbed, but perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing.
  ISU was in a five-game losing streak before its unintended vacation and the Sycamores made a move in the right direction Wednesday with a 7-0 win over DePauw at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a disappointing weekend. We went all the way down to Tennessee and didn’t get to play. We sat around in the hotel room. We came here and it was still raining. It was nice to get out and see some live pitching,” ISU center fielder Landon Curry said.
