I think Rutger is in a hurry to get back to New Jersey.  God only knows why!  Hoosiers looking for the series sweep with an 8-0 lead after 2 complete.

I'm a jinx.  Rutger scored 4 in its 3rd, 3 in its 4th and 3 more in its 5th.  We're now tied at 10-10 after 5 complete.  It's batting practice Sunday as Rutger has a dozen hits; we have 10.

Rutger scores 2 more in the 6th and again in the 7th and go back to NJ with a 14-11 win.  We blew an 8-0 lead!  That hurts!  

4 IU pitchers torched for 15 hits that included 4 HR.  We had 13 hits of our own that also included 4 HR but obviously it wasn't enough.  Alex Cooper had 3 hits and 3 others with 2 each.  Strader today's RBI leader with 3.  

Wednesday we'll host IU Indy at 5:00.  Next weekend we'll be at Maryland.

Troutt closed it out.  We had 8 hits led by Parker and Gavin each with 2.  Gavin had 2 RBI.   We were sloppy committing 3 errors.

Schedule indicates we play a single game at home against Oregon at 5:00 on Monday the 23rd and then next weekend we host Detroit Mercy for a 2-game series.

The IU women are pretty good.  They spotted Maryland 4 runs and trailed 4-0 after 4 complete.  Scored 4 of our own in the 5th to tie it up.  Both teams scored a run in the 6th and then we added 3 in our 7th to win the series opener 8-5.  In the 7th, Alex Cooper had a solo HR and Madalyn Strader had a 2-run shot.  Hess started and was relieved in the 4th by Mannon who finished the game.  They limited the Terps to 6 hits and walked just 2 batters.  We only had 7 hits of our own but 3 went the distance.  In the 5th, Alli Gavin had a 2-run shot.  Saturday's game scheduled to start at 2:00.

Hoosiers take game 2 of the series 10-2 in a run-shortened game.  Kinda odd in that we scored 10 runs and only had 6 hits.  But Alex Cooper had a grand slam, Madalyn Strader a solo shot and Avery Parker a 2-RBI triple.  Ella Troutt started and pitched 4 scoreless innings but got in trouble in the 5th and Aubree Hooks came on and closed it out.  Collectively they only allowed 5 hits and 1 BB.

Go for the series sweep tomorrow at noon. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Great weekend to be a Hoosier.  Women sweep Maryland winning today's game 7-2.  Taylor Hess started on the mound but was touched for 2 first inning runs,  Mannon pitched 1 inning and Troutt the last 4 and together they scattered 6 hits and walked just 1.  Our bats were hot with 10 hits that included 2 HR and 3 doubles.  Strader a solo shot in the 4th and Bird a 3-run HR in the 7th.  Bird today's RBI leader with 4.   

#16 Oregon will be in Bloomington Monday evening for a one-night stand scheduled to start at 5:00.  Televised on B1G+.

#16 Oregon in tonight for the only time we'll play them in the regular season.  Josie Bird hit a 3-run HR in the 1st and Ellie Goins just unloaded a grand slam in the 3rd and we hold a 7-0 lead.

Oregon in the past has been really good. For a long time their coach use to be the coach who is now coaching at Texas.

Not sure what happened, but wow, we lost 24-12.

It was so bad, they've already wiped the stats from the StatBroadcast website!

Apparently there were 3 grand slams in the game, 2 by Oregon.

Shonda Stanton ball at finest and I mean that as compliment. Elite power and offense, mediocre pitching, atmosphere of joy in dugout.

it sometimes mean giving up an absurd number of runs against an elite team, but always gives them a chance and a great record overall and playing in a Regional yearly.

She has built an amazing culture that puts the team in a place they have not been in 40 years. We are lucky to have her and some of our other sports need to take note of what building a system and culture means.

What I don't get is how the game last night is considered out of conference unless I missed something when UCLA and Oregon joined.
