Big Ten favorite Indiana loses top reliever with season-ending knee injury
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Indiana has lost closer Ryan Halstead with a season-ending injury.
The Hoosiers, the preseason favorite to win the Big Ten title, said only that the 6-foot-5, 225-pound senior had undergone surgery and doctors expect a full recovery. They did not provide additional details.
Halstead was injured last weekend in Indiana's home opener against Xavier.
