We got in! 

Play Southern Miss on Friday at the Knoxville Regional. 

Other two teams: No. 1 overall seed Tennessee and Northern Kentucky.

Once they got past the top 16 seeds, which already had been revealed, I think we were the second team mentioned -- after Northern Kentucky.

Couple of things... 

Lindsey Nelson Stadium--- turf. I like that.. 

It also plays similarly to Bart Kaufman field, it plays small, especially to right field. I understand the pitching has given up some homers, but everyone has... 

Taylor, Mathison, Mitchell, Stadler, and Wiggins have to be excited for how this stadium plays.

The lineup ... 

[IUHoosierJoe 970]

Off to a good start.  Up 5-0, still batting in the top of the 2nd.

[JerryYeagley23 2,901]

What are the college rules for starting pitchers? Is there any logic in pulling Bothwell soon with a 5 run lead to save his arm so he can be ready again for an elimination game or Tennessee in game 3 I assume to be played Sat?? 

[DoctorP 837]

7-0 bottom 4

[DoctorP 837]

Bottom 6 getting a little dicey. 2 runs already home and now bases loaded two outs for USM

8-2 IU

[DoctorP 837]

Escaped, 8-3 on to the seventh

[IUHoosierJoe 970]

Hoosiers win, 10-4
