Whoo hoo!!!! Nothin like stomping on the Rockettes with cleats! BIG BG weekend. UT sucks.
Senior Burke Badenhop (9-2) tied a season-high with nine strikeouts and allowed just two runs in eight innings of work with no walks. The nine victories are the most by a Falcon pitcher since Jason Kelley recorded a school-record 12 in 1999. BGSU finished 18-3 at Warren Steller Field this season, the most home wins since 2002 (18-5).
Smash the Rockettes again this Wednesday.
Factman,
2 wins at WMU will get us into the tourney, right? I was looking at the updated standings and it looks like you're right on the $$$.

Next weekend, BG is at WMU. HUGE series. Ball State is done with MAC play and has a series with Wright State. The Cards are in the tourney as well as Miami. CMU, WMU, BG, Akron and Kent State are fighting for the remaining 4 berths. Ohio has an outside chance, at best.
EMU travels to CMU and Miami is @ Kent next weekend. We need to root for EMU and Miami to help our cause...just in case. Ohio is at Akron.
As good as BG is playing, I can see us taking 2 of 3 next weekend.
WAY TO GO COACH SCHMITZ AND TEAM!!! CRUSH UT AGAIN!
