SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Pat Connaughton is going to be a two-sport athlete for a bit longer, only now he's going to be paid for one.

Connaughton said Monday he has reached an agreement with the Baltimore Orioles, who picked him in the fourth round of the Major League Baseball draft last week, but has not yet signed a contract. He said the organization will allow him to play basketball at Notre Dame his senior year, saying his initial contract will be for six or seven weeks.

"I'm excited to go out there and show what I can do," Connaughton said.
