Admissions' Logistical Balancing Crawfordsville, Indiana | April 13, 2012 | Volume 104, Issue 25 Admissions’ Logistical Balancing Act Lilly Finalists On Campus for Mac Miller, Pan-Hel Bed Races, and more SCOTT MORRISON ‘14 STAFF WRITER This weekend has been circled on many students’ calendars for a long time, and now the arrival of Mac Mill- er and the much-anticipated National Act concert are finally upon us. But the concert is not the only important campus event this weekend: the Lilly Scholarship Finalists are on cam- pus and the Allen Center is home to the Midwest high school wrestling tournament today and tomorrow. All of this is at a college situated in what Princeton Review ranked as the second worst college town in America. Despite the scheduling con- flict that the college is faced with this weekend, school officials are expect- ing each event to run successfully.

  • Knuckle Curve Pitcher on Mound Former MLB Umpire Ron Luciano on Knucklers
    “That ____ Eaton Pitch” ‐uttered by numerous opponents over the years in regard to Eaton’s knuckle curveball, with various derogatory terms used to fill in the blank Numerous Reds’ pitchers, after tremendous high school careers that culminated in being drafted by MLB teams, had great success with their knuckle curves in college and the pros. Above: Kyle Ottoson starts in Game 3 of Super Regionals for Arizona State vs. Texas and leaves the game with the lead, and Shane Dyer’s first of many baseball cards (rising all the way to Triple‐A) show his knuckle curve grip. Coach Danley learned the knuckle curve from a pitcher* at Oklahoma State in the late 1980’s, researched it, taught it, and embraced it fully, and went on to win 20 of the Reds’ 21 spring and summer state titles with the victorious Reds’ pitcher throwing the knuckle curve. While the pitch breaks down sharply like a curve ball, it has no curve ball spin or potentially damaging elbow torque like a curve ball, and so the name of the pitch is misleading. With this in mind, maybe what the Reds’ opponents called the pitch was a much better description: “that ____ Eaton pitch.” The Reds were frankly honored by the term, but more honored by the swings and misses (and sometimes quite ugly ones at that) at the pitch. The knuckle curve and Eaton’s Championship Years are so intertwined it would be redundant to other material on EatonBaseball.com to focus an entire story on the pitch, however as one example of its dominance, the Reds in the 2008 State Championship found themselves clinging to a 3‐1 lead with the opponent loading up the bases with no outs, at which point the Reds threw 9 straight knuckle curves, producing 9 straight strikes, and ending the inning and effectively the game.

  • Weekly Notes 041918
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2018 HISTORY ON THE ISLAND Wednesday night’s game between the Cleveland Indians and the Minnesota Twins was the 62nd regular season international game in MLB history. The two-game series marked the fi rst regular season games to be played by both Cleveland and Minnesota outside of the United States and Canada. With the pair of games this week, Hiram Bithorn Stadium has now hosted 49 Major League contests. The 16-inning thriller that resulted in a 2-1 Minnesota victory was the longest international regular season game in history. Previously, the 14-inning tilt between the Anaheim Angels and the Montreal Expos on June 5, 2003 held the record. With José Berríos and Eddie Rosario representing the Island on this year’s Twins roster, Minnesota has had 22 diff erent Puerto Rican natives play in the Club’s history (since 1961). For the Indians, both Francisco Lindor and Roberto Pérez hail from Puerto Rico. Across Baseaball, 19 Puerto Rican players were represented on Major League Opening Day rosters, its highest total since there were 20 in 2011. With a hit on Tuesday and a pair of hits on Wednesday night, Rosario became the ninth Puerto Rican native to record three hits at Hiram Birthorn. The 26-year-old joined Jose Vidro (33), Wil Cordero (11), Bengie Molina (8), Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar (5), Juan Gonzalez (4), Felipe Lopez (3) and Hall of Famer Iván Rodríguez (3). On the mound, Berríos became the fi rst native of the Island to toss 7.0-plus scoreless innings in a start, and also matched the record of innings pitched set by Javier Vazquez in 2003.
