Big weekend for the 4-1 Cats. They will take on Texas Tech, #3 UCLA, #15 Clemson, and #7 Oklahoma State.
Yikes.

Ugh - 2 run homer for UCLA in top of 8th. Now going to the bottom down 2. Not looking good, but never say die!

Wow!! 'Cats win with 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th. Nelson 3 run homer with 2 outs. Should be ranked after this one.

The ticker running on ESPN shows the Cats as #23.......

Yep. What I mean't was that they should go up, since they've won 2 in this prestigious tournament, and they play more highly ranked teams in the same tourney. Presently 6 - 1 on the season

They definitely go up if they at least split their remaining games. This looks like a really strong team, should contend for the B1G title with UM.

Agreed. They have 3 games remaining in the tourney, 2 against ranked teams, Clemson #15 and Oklahoma St. # 7. My only concern is that Danielle Williams has been our only consistent pitcher. Dvorak and Supple have been ok, but not against the better teams. The good news is we can really hit, and a game like UCLA should really boost our confidence.

Oops, I was wrong about this. We have only 2 games remaining in this tourney, Clemson today and Oklahoma State tomorrow. Then we head to California to play in the Mary Nutter Classic where we open against Oregon. I'll follow them on-line on the opponent's website and report. The NU website sucks and won't permit you to access the stats. Instead, you have to pay to subscribe to ESPN+. This is true for a lot of sports on the NU site which are not televised.

Looks like the game today might be televised on the ACCN. I get this with my cable package and I'm sure others do as well. Starts, I believe, at 11:00 am EST.

I'm getting it in Texas. Top of first right now, and Cats have bases loaded. Would be nice to have a crooked-number start.

(Edit) Nope. But a threatening 1st inning nonetheless.

Potential disaster. Two solo homers in the bottom of the 6th for Oklahoma State. They lead 4-3 wih one shot left for the 'Cats

Well, the 'Cats lost 4 - 3 to a good team, but one that had lost 3 in a row. Oklahoma State did beat Michigan 4 zip in this tourney however.
For those craving more NU action today, lacrosse plays Arizona State at 1:00 pm EST and the game can be followed on the internet. Women's Basketball tips-off against Illinois on the BTN at 5:00 pm EST.

Yep. Dvorak, Supple and Boyd all were highly recruited, but have not done a lot so far.

Tough loss today.Danielle ran out of gas today giving up 3 homers,but she and the rest of the lady cats had a really nice weekend taking 3 out of 4 against top competition.Looks like the cats will have a strong team this year.
