Friday, April 23rd: Nebraska at Michigan State - (Huskers win 4-0)

Looks like we start faster than anyone else. Guessing we're not facing the type of quality starters others are facing.
Or maybe we're just THAT GOOD!

I'd settle for a combo of both. I'd be curious to see where we rank the last three innings just as an overall comparison. The plus minus is a good way of looking at it though.

Solid pitching, sloppy offensively & we still get a shutout Friday win. Couple tough defensive plays, but expected after Kugler's jinx. Sparty was averaging 5.5 rpg in game 1 of the weekends.

Let's win the series on Saturday!
 
Taking a 4-0 Friday win and running to the bank every time.

This game was about a top end effort off the mound then overcoming ourselves in the field and at the plate. Two errors, no stolen bases, two caught stealing. plate struggles. Overcome and win.

Real nice Friday win.
 
How's your nerves, Illinois?

The Illini, @ Purdue, take a 6-0 lead to the middle of the 9th
Purdue comes to bat
Home run (6-1)
Double
Double (6-2)

Home run (6-5)
Groundout
Line out. Illinois wins 6-5
WHEW!
 
This team is really playing well, can't take our foot off the gas Sat & Sun (I really want to host).

We have this weekend and the next 2 (Rutgers x 5, Indiana x 2) to prove to the committee that we're host worthy.

*** Wild azz guess alert ***
With 9 games to go, 6 maybe gets you host, 7+ does for sure.

Oddly enough I think we have to sweep this weekend and next. Indiana we can split but the pressure of not having an OOC is on.
