The Hoosiers were within striking distance in Friday's NCAA regional opener, rallying from a 7-2 deficit to forge a 7-7 tie in the seventh before ultimately falling, 8-7. "Illinois State obviously played a terrific game," IU coach Jeff Mercer said. "They did a really good job. They're really well-coached, tough offensively … they stayed really simple, especially with two strikes, and really punished mistakes, balls left over the play. "They outplayed us and were terrific." That adjective certainly applied to ISU junior lefty starter Brent Headrick.
