Good all around game. Timely hitting and great pitching is a good combo. Had a little rough stretch in the 6th with 2 errors, but got a big DP to get out of a bases loaded jam.

I haven't the foggiest idea on rules. I heard earlier in the year, there was a 10 run rule in effect. I also heard that there was no replay this year for some reason. I guess the 2 times we 10 run teamed was the 2nd game of a DH. Maybe that is the only time?

If Matthews doesn't get Freshmen Player of the Week, the player that took that away had an amazing week, or they just hate Nebraska.

That was a good inning. I am confused by some rules. How come some games we have a 10 run rule and today's game is not?

3 outs from a big series win. 7 - 3 bottom of 8th

It did hit him, but he put his elbow into it.

These umps are atrocious! 2 Maryland players lean into pitches and Bolt is watching from the stands.

We got good Shay today. 1 hit through 5 innings with 9 k's. 7 - 1 good guys through 5.

We've now given up 35 runs in our last 5 games. Not going to be very successful doing that.

That probably does it. 10 - 7 Maryland after a WP and error scores 2.

Cam Wynne needs to keep at a 1 run game for a chance to tie or win. Thanks Maryland. I don't think I would have the conference home run leader bunt.

Our pitching is coming back to Earth. Bragg, who I am very high on, struggled today. We get the lead, and give it right back. 8 - 6 Maryland Top 7

I really like this team. I do wish we could have played a non conference season to see how we stack up against the Top 25 teams.

Schwellenbach threw a pitch right down the middle thigh high, and this bozo called it a ball. Greg just said the crowd all saw it, and had no words.

Schwellenbach is down at 90. I don't know if it's the radar gun or something is wrong. It might be the radar gun, because Maryland looked overmatched on his fastball.

He's consistent. Consistently awful.

His zone expanded to Schwellenbach on the 1st pitch, and the 2-0 pitch to Chick

The 3rd time is a charm!! Matthews with 2 fly outs to the wall in LF. Gets one out to center on his 3rd try. 5 - 1 Good guys bottom of the 6th

Need a shutdown inning from Povich. Got the lead. Watching these opponents boot the ball around really gives an appreciation for our defense. That could be the difference

Yes

The Maryland pitcher has found his breaking pitch but is at 51 pitches with 2 outs in the 3rd. His season high is 115. Hopefully we can get into the bullpen.

Nice job manufacturing a run in the 1st for the good guys. Acker doubles. Hallmark after an 11 pitch at bat, flies out to deep RC, Acker moves to 3rd. Schwellenbach grounds out to 1st allowing Acker to score. 1 - 0 good guys, after 2 1/2

Maryland's pitcher throws in the upper 90's but doesn't have much of a breaking pitch. I don't know how much the shift works in college. A lot of teams teach their kids how to bunt. So, the 1st batter for Maryland tries to bunt down the 3rd base line as a left handed bunter, it barely goes foul. Count goes to 2 - 2. Hits one right to the 2b employed in the shift for an out. What do I know?

I thought the same thing. I wonder if the way it is situated makes it play small. Kind of like TD Ameritrade plays big. If they flip TD around I wonder if it would play small? I'm hoping that's why our pitchers struggled was because of the ballpark. Hopefully, they get it back this next weekend when we get back to a ballpark that seems more fair.

We have enough time to come back, but have a hole to work back from. Illinois leads 5 - 2 top of 4th.
