RU Softball team just got it's 1st Big10 win of the season , beating Ohio ST 8-6 in extra innings. Power hitting catcher Wingert jacks a 2 run Homer in the top of the 8th. Series tie breaker tomorrow if they get it in. Surprised they aren't playing a DH today like Baseball is in Iowa.

PS- Baseball down 6-1 in the 6th with Iowa still hitting.

Considering OSU was 6-1 entering today and we were 0-7, that's a solid win. Our first two opponents in league play, Northwestern and Michigan, are both 7-0. We are starting with three of the toughest teams we will face.

It’s amazing what a coaching change can do ...and with ZERO ties to the region let alone NJ.

Is she from Iowa?
No, Kristen Butler played at Florida (was SEC player of the year, and that says a LOT. They are the deepest softball conference.) Previously, she was coaching at Toledo. Looks like a great hire!

We host Iowa (2-10 in conference, last place) next weekend for three. Need to get at least two but the goal should be to sweep them, too.

You should read up on her background playing and coaching, and her assistant coaches first before you get snarky. First pulse softball team had shown in a while. Can’t you be positive after sweeping PSU?

I was just poking fun at all of the posters who rip on Ash for being a midwestern guy who doesn’t get New Jersey.

I love the hire and what she has done in such a short period of time!

Big fan.
Looking forward to when she actually brings in some of her own recruits.
