RU Baseball DH today @ Minn, 3pm, Live BTN TV, story :

[Abro1975]

RU has a huge challenge with 5 away games, 2 at Minn, then bus to NW for 3 more. Probably need to win 4 of 5 to make the playoffs , while I think 3 of 5 is a longshot of getting in with the right circumstances involving other teams. RU pitching not deep , so splitting at Minn will be a challenge but not out of the realm. Minn played at #10 Long Beach St this weekend, but they have deeper pitching staff.

You are correct in everything is figured off winning percentage.

Minnesota will be ready because they have climbed onto the bubble to make a Regional depending on how they finish the regular season and do in the tourney. If Minnesota wins it's last 5 conference games they are the regular season champs as well. They control their own destiny as far as the Big 10 regular season goes. NU folks will be pulling for you to sweep the 2 games as that makes it easier for NU to win the regular season title.

Minnesota won the first game 6-2.

Three years in the league. Still zero appearances in the Big Ten tournament.

1-10 vs Minny, Nebby, Umich, and UMD is embarrassing. Taking series against Purdue, Iowa, and Illinois is good. But 1-10 verse the top teams in the league is terrible. 3-7 would at least give us a chance
