Rough start to the weekend, as the Gopher bats were silent (3 hits, 16 strikeouts), Semb with another shaky start (5+ innings, 9 hits, 3 walks, 6 earned runs), and throw 2 more defensive errors onto the pile. A Berklund HR and 4 scoreless innings of relief from Hemmesch about the only highlights.

The Gophers sit at 15-16 overall, and 3-6 in the Big Ten (alone in 11th place). With series left against Penn State, Michigan State and Northwestern, there is still a path to a top-8 finish, but a series win against Indiana would make that more likely. This team just doesn't look like one that...

The Gophers sit at 2-4 in the league after splitting the Saturday doubleheader. Gophers got the big hit to tie it in the first game, then immediately fall behind again thanks to shaky defense and a bullpen that has been leaky in last 5. Weitgrefe was outstanding in second game and Counsel...

Lop-sided loss that was over early today. Their hitting and pitching were much better than ours. Starting pitching needs to step up...hope it starts tomorrow.

The Gophers sit at 10-10 overall as they start conference play today at Iowa. I know just a couple games can skew results, but the Gophers are batting 30 points higher than the opposition, 100 points higher slugging, and a full run better in earned run average. The weather looks good for today...

Gophers take the series, with another big offensive performance, to win 12-6. Hokenson with a 3 run HR and followed it up RBI single to break it open. Hunt also with a pair of doubles...a lot of offense overall again today. Weitgrefe was a bit better than his line, and 18 total Ks for...

Good to see the offense pick up the pitching staff today, and for the second time in three games rally for a win. A series win is definitely there for the taking.

Their bracket is now updated and projects us to be 8 seed and play at Indiana State.

If memory serves me right, there was a year the committee forgot that stipulation and had BYU in a Friday/Sunday bracket, and then after it was released realized the mistake and had to state that would switch them with another team if they won or something crazy like that (though I recall they...

Joe Stunardi now projects us in the field with the opt-outs.

Gophers win a wild one, 9-7 in 10 innings. It looked bleak as Elon scored 6 in the 7th to take a 7-3 lead. Gophers got one in the 8th, then Perry solo HR and Mezzenga 2-run HR to tie in in 9th, and Counsel with a 2-run HR (his second HR on day) to provide the winning margin in 10th. A few...

Another one-run loss. Unfortunately, the two runs walked in turned out to be the tying and winning runs.

I voted No. I definitely think he will be back, and I absolutely can understand Coyle bringing him back for another season, but at this point I just don't think he is the guy. Hope he proves me wrong next season.

Barking Crow has us at just 7.2% chance for NIT. Non-zero chance, but I do not think we will be selected.

Gophers lose 2-1 in 10. They had runners on nearly all game but just a 1-0 lead into 9th. A leadoff HR to tie it for Elon in 9th and then three hits to win in 10th. Tough loss. Novotny was great. Gotta score insurance runs.

Gophers took care of business yesterday in the home opener, 5-1 over Saint Olaf. Very underwhelming day at plate with 6 singles - just 3 of those to outfield - and not an abundance of well hit balls, but pitching and defense didn't have any hiccups. Gophers have added a game with Augsburg for...

A month into the season, the Gophers sit at 6-7 against a pretty soft schedule (230 SOS), and have an RPI of 193 (the lowest in the conference by a fair amount). Definitely an improvement over last year's dreadful start, but not good either. I still think this team can finish in the top 8 and...

We need to reduce the errors and get a couple guys going at the plate.

Really looked like the right fielder thought he had a play on Mezzenga's ball in 9th, and it just kept carrying. That was a rough start. It looked like Crawford wasn't holding back on that first inning mound visit. A real chance for back-to-back winning weekends away from home - something we...

Gopher's modest winning streak comes to an end as they drop the opener 7-3 to Gonzaga. Good to see some balls being hit over the fence as of late, but not much solid contact otherwise in this one (just 4 hits). Novotny not sharp and the defense wasn't either. Still a winnable series. Also...
