Class of '66 Old Fart

Reminder that Chase Branham and his family are in Bloomington for the weekend and Raby reports '27 Isaiah Hill (Indpls. Pike) will be at today's game.

What a weekend for our softball team winning all 5 games. Today was a 10-1 run-shortened win over UNCG. Ella Troutt pitched 4 innings of 3-hit ball and Brooke Mannon pitched the final inning. We had 11 hits with 4 girls having 2 apiece. Ellie Goins had 3 RBI; Josie Bird and Hannah Haberstroh each with 2. In the 5 games, we scored 59 runs; our opponents scored 3. No mid-week game. Conference play starts next weekend in Bloomington hosting Minnesota who's 7-13 on the season.

After the B1G Indoor Track & Field Championships this weekend, we lead 7.5 to 4.5 PUke men beat our men and our women beat the PUke women so we each earned a full point. Next up is women's tennis on March 7.

5 in a row for the men.

Second game on Saturday was a slugfest with both teams getting 14 hits. Unfortunately, we only scored 12 runs and WKU scored 14. Rivera started and never made it past the first inning giving up 5 runs on 6 hits and 3 BB. 4 more IU pitchers gave up the other 8 WKU hits and 9 runs. Collectively they walked 9 and gave up 5 doubles and 1 HR. Koskie had 2 hits and 4 RBI. Hanley 3 hits and 3 RBI. Final game of the weekend scheduled to start at 2:00. Tuesday night we're scheduled to host Northern Kentucky at 5:00. Next weekend is the start of B1G conference play with us hosting Washington for the 3-game series.

I've watched both of the Okeke girls and Sara is definitely the one you'd prefer to have.

Michigan guard LJ Cason has torn his ACL and will miss the rest of the season, according to a release from the program. That's a brutal blow for the Wolverines.

#9 seed McNamara knocked off the #1 seed Georgetown Prep 59-53 and they did it without Moody and Qayden Samuels. Still haven't determined why Moody has not played in the 2 tournament games.

Only scored 4 pts. but grabbed 8 rebounds and dished out 9 assists.

Hoosiers take today's opener 3-1. Second game just getting underway. Thomas started and pitched 4 innings; Seebold and Yarberry finished up. They combined to scatter 4 WKU hits and issue 3BB. We had 10 hits none for extra bases. Ricketts had 3 and 3 others had 2 each.

Our women show absolutely no mercy. 11-0 win over UNC Greensboro. Taylor Hess pitched the full 7 innings scattered 6 hits and walked just 1. She's 4-0 on the season. We had 9 hits that included an Aly VanBrandt grand slam HR and she finished the day with 5 RBI. Alex Cooper had 3 RBI. Re-match with UNCG at 11:00 tomorrow to wrap up the weekend.

It had to be rough on the team and coaching staff the way we started out but they didn't throw up their hands and say woe is us. They found a way to put it together and I'm very happy for them.

Anybody know who drew the assignment to guard McMiller? Whoever has done a phenomenal job. 4 min. left in the 3rd and she has 2 points and 4 turnovers.

Syd and Mack in the house today.

Sunnyslope 53-49 win over Brophy College Prep. Low scoring game with Sunnyslope trailing 34-32 after 3 Qs at which time Wabbington had 11p. Took over the 4th and scored 13 missing just a single shot and making 2-2 3s in the process. Added 7 reb. 10-18 FG, 3-4 on 3s, 1-1 FT.

Who are these women wearing IU uniforms today?

These women swing some mean bats. IU 9-0 over Charleston Southern in a run-shortened game. Jasmine Reyes pitched 4 innings of 2-hit ball with 2 BB. Megan Gregory closed it out. 10-hits for the Hoosiers with Cooper and Gavin 2 each. 1 of Cooper's and both of Gavin's were HRs. Gavin with 3 RBI. Play again today at 3:00 vs UNC Greensboro.

We had just 7 hits with Malamazian getting the only RBI. Doubleheader on Saturday.
