I H-A-T-E an all turf field. But it certainly makes playing in rainy weather easier.

Northwestern takes the lead on a 2-out solo shot to right

1-0 Northwestern mid 2

 

[RobsterMobster]

I'll bet the Big Ten can't wait until they no longer have to play this tourney in front of a few dozen retirees after it is permanently moved to Omaha.

 

[saluno22]

2-out RBI single up the middle ties it
1-1 after 2

Ha autocorrect
I expect a lot more mistakes, especially with rain on my screen

 

[k9_r]

Rained all night the day I left. Doo da, doo da.

Thinking a 10 AM Wednesday game in Omaha would be lightly attended. And the rain sucks.

Still more than anywhere else. It might only draw 1-2k, but it would draw. Esp if it was a Husker game (like today's was and Indiana game)

Northwestern in the Winner's bracket??? Maybe their series win over Maryland wasn't a fluke?
