Husker Baseball Drops Both Ends of Doubleheader
The Husker baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader to Indiana in Bloomington yesterday afternoon. In Game One, the Huskers squandered an early two-run lead in a 7-5 loss. Pat Kelly and Chad Christensen homered for the Big Red, but an error and five walks by Husker pitchers in the game proved costly. The nightcap belonged to the Hoosiers as they won by a 9-6 score. Nebraska again took the early lead, but the Hoosier bats battered starting pitcher Zach Hirsch en route to a 6-1 lead after two innings. Cory Burleson drove in four runs to try and get the Huskers back in the game, but they could not get over the hump. The losses drop the Huskers to an even 9-9 in Big Ten conference play and 29-18 overall. Before resuming conference play with a home series against Minnesota this weekend, the Huskers visit Creighton tomorrow night.

Husker Softball Swept at Indiana
The Husker softball team fell to Indiana 4-2 yesterday as the Hoosiers wrapped up a sweep. After the Big Red dropped a doubleheader on Saturday, they fell behind early in the finale as Indiana scored three times in the first inning.

RIP: “MCA” Beastie Boys founder dead at 47
NEW YORK (AP) — Adam Yauch, the gravelly voiced Beastie Boys rapper who co-founded the seminal hip-hop group, has died at age 47.
Yauch’s representatives confirmed that the rapper died Friday morning in New York after a nearly three-year battle with cancer.
Also known as MCA, Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous salivary gland in 2009. He had undergone surgery and radiation.
At the time, Yauch expressed hope it was “very treatable,” but his illness caused the group to cancel shows and delayed the release of its 2011 album, “Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.”
The Brooklyn-born Yauch created the Beastie Boys with high school friend Michael “Mike D” Diamond. Originally conceived as a hardcore punk group, it became a hip-hop trio after Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz joined.

Neb. high court denies new trial for ex-CSI chief
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a former top crime scene investigator serving a prison sentence for evidence tampering in a double murder case.
Former CSI chief David Kofoed had asked the state’s high court to grant him a new trial, arguing among other things that the trial court judge should have recused himself from the case. Kofoed also argued that the trial court erred in allowing evidence indicating Kofoed had tampered with DNA evidence in another case.
But the state’s high court rejected those arguments Friday.
Kofoed was sentenced to up to four years for tampering with evidence in a Cass County case in which two men were wrongly charged in the 2006 shotgun slayings of Wayne and Sharmon Stock of rural Murdock.
