All Things Gopher Baseball

Selvig gets out of a bases loaded, no out jam with just one run allowed. Hellum with a nice catch to end the inning. 6-2 Gophers going to 5th. Spanier started at shortstop and batted a couple times but now out of game.
 


Gophers snap the conference losing streak with a 10-5 win. Questionable decision to have the lefty pitch to Berkland in 9th with first base open and 2 outs, and Berkland took advantage with 2 run single to seal it. Sundquist and Whelan combine for 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief.
 

It got interesting after an early 6-1 lead but glad to see them hang on. Let's get a sweep.
 



Gophers cruise to a 9-2 win. Gophers made the most of their 7 hits (Richter with 3) on top of the 12 walks and 2 hit batters they received. Remington with 5 scoreless innings with Rooney working the final 4 innings for a save. A chance for a conference sweep - I believe Ohio State in 2019 was the last time it occurred.
 



Gophers push the win streak to 6 and get back to .500 with a 9-2 victory over North Dakota State. Richter answered a run in the top of the first with a 2 run homer in the bottom, then Hokensen hit a grand slam in the 3rd to blow it open. Urban with a really good 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief (including three consecutive Ks after coming in with a 2 on/nobody out situation) to earn the win. Keep it going!
 



Make it 7 in a row as Gophers get a 4-2 win over South Dakota State. Pretty stiff wind blowing in from left made for a low scoring affair. 2 runs in first was all the Jackrabbits would get, as Hemmesch, Dobis and Rooney put up zeroes in relief and 2 solid double plays assisted in that. Just enough offense with Hunt the only Gopher with 2 hits.

Also, there were three video reviews late in the game, including one on a hit down the left field line that appeared foul by quite a bit. As much as I think reviews are an issue in basketball, it's a whole another level of irritation when it is maybe 50 degrees and windy and the game stops for 2 minutes for the umpires to walk over to a monitor that doesn't look much bigger than a tablet. Also, some times the umpires talk for 20 seconds or more before they even decide to go to the monitor. Hope they can streamline this in future.
 






Sperry pitching really well. Neels RBI hit and Perry solo home run just inside the left field foul pole have Gophers up 2-0 going into the 6th.
 

8 in a row, as Gophers win 3-2. Sperry hit first 2 batters in 7th who came around to score after Clausen came in relief, and Whelan with 2 scoreless innings to close it out. Perry barreled a sacrifice fly to right for 3rd run. Somehow Gophers didn't score in 9th, but it's a win. Let's keep it going.
 





Great steak which makes tomorrow’s game huge to strengthen our hand as much as possible for a pivotal home series with USC. As of today, it’s a 71 vs 47 RPI matchup. Sweeping Rutgers tomorrow with the headline of ten game winning streak with visit of Trojans (first games at Siebert Field?) might draw some fan support for the series.

Great “streak”…
 

With having already used Sundquist, Rooney, Whelan, and Clausen and Sperry now starting really gonna need an arm or two to step up tomorrow. Whether it is Thorsteinson or Hemmesch or maybe another 6 pitcher outing where we piece it together. I would expect both Whelan and Clausen to possibly be available if a late game situation calls for them.

Clausen only threw 25. He should be good to go. After those 4 I would expect Ryerse.
 



Definitely a struggle on the mound today, felt like we were constantly behind in counts.
 

It's too bad we ran out of pitching cause the bats were clicking enough that we would have had a chance for a sweep. We need 2-3 more quality arms and we'd be an upper conference team easily. Still a good weekend. Big opportunity coming next week against USC.

Alum Max Meyer might be finally figuring things out. Had a career high 14 strikeouts last night against Cinci. 41 K in 30 IP with 2.10 ERA so far in 5 starts.
