Was down 9-6 in the bottom of the 7th and Iliopolous hits a 3 run bomb to tie it. They are playing out of their minds.
 
Game over
Lost 10-9 in 8 innings

Had bases loaded 2 outs tied bottom of 7th
And had tieing run at 2nd in bottom of 8 but could not score
 
We are a half game up on Indiana. They play PSU tomorrow and won the season series against us 2-1. I assume we finish as 6 seed if Indiana loses tomorrow and 7 seed if they win.
 
Final score Sunday: PSU 2, Indiana 0. We finished in 6th place.

Michigan leads Maryland in the 6th. If they hang on they will finish 1st or 2nd. Minnesota and Northwestern play starting at 4 PM. I think we play the loser of that game if Michigan hangs on. Minnesota and Northwestern would both have two conference losses, and Minnesota would have won 2 of 3 head to head. Rutgers was swept by NW and did not face Minnesota.
