Gophers cruise to a 12-2 win over Saint Thomas. Gophers took advantage of walks and some sloppy play by Tommies, while Gopher pitchers combined to give up just 4 hits and 1 walk.
Let's hope the team can regain some of their form from earlier in season. Drop the series in Columbus and their...
Gophers snap the losing streak with win over the Jackrabbits. Not pretty at plate or in field, but enough for the victory. Elbeery suffered some type of leg injury running to first and limped off field, and so he might be unavailable for a while.
I was under the impression the collective has final say on the money. They can receive input from the athletic department and/or coaches, but ultimately the collective decides who gets what.
Not many bright spots in this series. The first game today was flat out gross Was hoping we would get that key hit we needed late in the finale to avoid the sweep, but didn't happen. Hoping they can flush this from their system and not have the season go pear-shaped.
Gophers didn't smash the ball but took advantage of miscues and ran the bases well, and pitching was outstanding.
Third weekend already where Gophers lose two out of three but were above water in run differential. Also second win over a top 10 team.
12 in a row at home starting Wednesday...
3 more in as Gopher with some aggressive base running to score 2 on an infield hit/error, then Larson scores from second on a Hellum infield single. 7-0 Gophers after 2 1/2.
Gophers catch a break, with their second baseman unable to snare a line drive one-hopper from Sutherland that would have likely been a inning ending DP, and instead plates 2...4-0, and bases loaded again after Larson draws a walk...
Nice at bat by Knoll to fight some good pitches off, then 4 pitch walk to Perry to bring in a run. 2-0, bases loaded, one out, new pitcher in, let's go Gophers!
Considering how much it has rained during the first two games, either it is really pouring in Eugene, or they really want to watch the NCAA selection show...😁
Per Kent Youngblood's article yesterday in Strib:
Because Williams Arena is being used for the MSHSL boys basketball tournament next week, the Gophers would likely not be able to host a first-round game.
