This whole week was a must win situation that was blown. We are now in a "must win" every game to get an at large bid.

I likewise am stunned. I don't know if I'm more stunned it's not reviewable or the umpire didn't see it. The ball changes direction.

Another play is Burnham not trying to score on the FC. Make them make a play. He probably gets out, but the 1B falls down and starts wanting a review. Maybe we steal the winning run.

A couple things. We kind of had some bad luck. We should still be able to beat Omaha even with the bad luck. We had some hard hit balls right at Omaha fielders. I like the effort from Fisher, but no chance should he have dove for that ball in the 1st. Play it on a hop and keep it in front of you. We lose by 1 run. Right there is the 1 run. Matthews throws a DP ball into RF to end the 2nd. Another Mav run scores. 2 runs that should not have happened. The difference in the game, just making 2 routine plays.

I admire Bolt for not getting thrown out of the game in the top of the 10th. Rough night. We didn't play very well the 1st few innings, and didn't deserve to win. But, to get screwed like that in the 10th, when the umps don't even watch it, when it obviously hit the baserunner was plain stupid.

Omaha gets the go ahead run on an infield single off the baserunner, and a sac fly.

Why did Fisher not try for 2nd on the 1st pitch when the pitcher was in the wind up. Maybe he balks, and we win.

Why do we have to face Cy Young tonight? Looking up junk ball pitchers in the dictionary, and his picture shows up.

Just hit a ball in the air to left field and you will have a home run tonight. There is no way that ball should have been gone. It was a routine fly to left that left the yard for Omaha.

We have played our worst 11 innings of baseball against Omaha.

We didn't leave a small village on the base paths. We left a metropolis.

Need to keep winning. Boyd's has us at 85 and Warrennolan has us at 80.

Woo hoo! 3 - 1 final!

Thank goodness for the hit and run. I don't think Brice swings at that.

Shay falls in love with the slider most of the time. If he mixes pitches like the 9th he can be nearly unhittable.

Whew! 2nd and 3rd, 0 outs for Michigan. A soft liner to Max, a ground out to Carey and a pop out to Evans. Still 1 - 0 after 7.

Still 1 - 0 after 6.

Quite the pitchers duel. 1 - 0 good guys after 5. NU has 4 hits. Michigan has 4 fewer hits.

Some of scheduling is luck. Last year's RPI's of our opponents San Diego 50 4 games South Alabama 73 3 games Vandy 9 1 game Hawaii 114 1 game Ole Miss 7 1 game Northern Colorado 297 2 games Illinois State 186 3 games Omaha 213 3 games Nicholls 178 3 games Creighton 88 3 games Illinois 76 3 games North Dakota State 129 2 games Texas A&M Corpus Christi 185 1 game Abilene Christian 152 1 game Michigan 57 3 games Northwestern 162 3 games Iowa 61 3 games South Dakota State 217 1 game Minnesota 246 3 games Maryland 13 3 games Penn State 148 3 games Purdue 135 3 games Last year RPI 1 - 50 9 games 51 - 100 15 games 101 - 150 9 games 151 - 200 11 games 201 + 9 games This year RPI 1 - 50 5 games 51 - 100 13 games 101 - 150 8 games 151 - 200 8 games 201 + 15 games

Much needed pitching in a mid week game.

I don't think it was racial, either. I think the media makes her out to be the best player ever. I think more people have not watched Clark at all until the last 2 games. They, then see an LSU player doing that to her, and call it classless. They don't see Clark doing similar things all year.

It wasn't pretty, but a much needed win. By my count Shay threw 34 sliders out of 37 pitches. Good hitting teams lay off those, and hit the hangers.

Shay got the shut down. Can he throw anything but a slider? If I am a hitter I am just looking slider.

Let's try again. NU up 4 - 1 after 7. Time for a shut down inning.
