Michigan/NW game dragging out way too long.

Michigan/NW game dragging out way too long.

Michigan pitching lost that one. Gave up 3 runs in the top of the 9th.

Just goes to show that anyone can win, if your pitching falters.

Why does it take an hour and a half between games on a field that doesn't need to be put back together?

Game delayed an hour for incoming storms is what BTN website says

Also, If they put diamond dry on the field, it needs some time to absorb the excess moisture.

Do they do that with the turf?

 

[meo1960]

Do they do that with the turf?

Just the dirt parts of the infield. If field is all turf then doesnt apply.

They must want to make sure everyone plays in the rain today. It was actually really nice between the 9th inning of game two and about 20 minutes ago. Just a light drizzle now.

 

[meo1960]

Kevin Kugler on the call!

I believe the whole field is turf. Including the "dirt" areas. It's probably the only reason they might get all the games in.

 

[meo1960]

Hohensee hanging on by a thread. Just gave up another hit. 4-5, Purdue now up.

 

[meo1960]

Im talking the difference between dirt & field turf. Pitchers mound & base paths are dirt.

 

[SWIowahawks_rivals44758]

Finally six outs in a row. Iowa might start before midnight now.

They do have something called dust-free dirt, (so its not really dirt), but Im not sure what the official name is.

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

Darn, a grand slam would have been nice there

 

[meo1960]

Never a dull moment with Hohensee on the mound. Gets out of it with no damage.

 

[meo1960]

Schreiber pops out to 1st w/2on to end the inning.

Palkert on in relief for Hohensee.

Looks like you were right. Kugler just said it's dirt colored field turf. How about that. Never seen that before. They must save a ton on field maintenance.

 

[meo1960]

Rain coming down hard now.
