BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — The Big Ten had to revise its baseball tournament schedule for the second straight day to avoid starting a game after the event’s predetermined 10 p.m. EDT curfew. The tournament was pushed back because it took 4 hours, 28 minutes for Indiana to defeat Michigan 5-4 in 13 innings in an elimination game. Minnesota’s game against Northwestern, originally scheduled for Thursday night, will be played Friday at 10 a.m.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and Acting Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg are hitting the road. Reynolds’ staff says the pair held public events Thursday and more are set for today (Friday), around the state. They’ll attend events Friday in Hawarden, Mason City, Cedar Rapids and Davenport. Reynolds announced Gregg as her acting lieutenant governor Thursday in her new formal office. She was sworn in Wednesday as Iowa’s 43rd governor.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A divided Iowa Supreme Court has reset the way criminals are charged by redefining when a person is formally arrested. The court ruled Thursday in cases involving three Waterloo men accused of drugging and raping two 15-year-old girls in 2012.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A state audit is detailing misspending and potential fraud by the former information technology director of the University of Iowa athletics department. State auditors say Patrick Delin made personal purchases using a university credit card, then “intentionally submitted” false invoices that showed legitimate work items had been purchased. They say Delin spent thousands traveling to a conference in Colorado that wasn’t related to his work and registering for a Miami conference he didn’t attend.
