The news of the capture comes to us from Marquette associate athletic director Mike Broeker:

The @bradleycntrbat has been caught, alive.Simulation of opening tip moments ago drove him to flight. Apparently not an AC/DC fan. #mubb

There's not a single word of that tweet that's not awesome.

Of course, this does raise the issue of whether Broeker is being honest about how the bat was captured. I present to you this GIF, providing clear visual evidence that there was more to the situation than just playing Thunderstruck:

Of course, just because the bat is gone, it doesn't mean that we can't have some fun with the whole situation.
