Baseball Game Moved to 1:00 PM Start

Thanks for the heads up. Huge 3 game week end series. RU needs to take 2 out of 3 to have a realistic chance of making the Big10 tourney. Next weekend is the last weekend of conference play and RU will play a very good Indiana team.
 
Huge weekend series for RU's BIG10 Tournament hopes. With 6 games to go, 3 against NW and 3 against a tough Indiana team, the pressure mounts for RU to win at least 2 out of 3 this weekend for a realistic chance of making the playoffs (top 8 teams). RU is currently in 7th with a 8-9 conference record, with NW right behind at 8-10. There are 8 teams bunched with records from 11-7 to 7-11 fighting for the last 5 spots.

Tevin Murray has quietyly become one of the top pitchers in the Big10, his ERA is about 6th in the conference. James Kratch of NJcom has an excellent article on him going to play summer ball in Alaska , and how much it helped him playing against great competition:
