WINNER !!!!

8-7


Just wanted to add that the rortation vs PeeSU may look something like...

Luebke, Shuck, Best, and Hale to the 9 inning game on sunday.

Fausnaugh at closer.


Lets all pull for Minny to win the B10..we play much better at Siebert than we do at that dump in AA. Minny @ Indiana & scUM is @ Iowa, so the Gophers have a real shot at the title... Minnesota is only 1.5 out of first.

We will make the B10 tourney..we just need one win this weekend, and we will get in

...i know PSU is hot, but we can get 1 stinkin' win!

Edgin goes tommorrow vs UNF..
