Recknagle is on fire. Quite the luxury for Michigan to have Seniors on their roster.

Nice to see the MSU pitcers improve on their control and get a couple of wins.

PSU is having a shaky start to say the least.

IU 7-7
MSU 7-8
Minn 5-7
Lowa 5-7
Ill 4-5
NW 4-5
PSU 3-10
Pur 2-11

Big win for the Fighting Illini vs. Akron today. Walk off Grand slam by ill DH Daniel Webb (Jc tranfer)

Minny losing 2 of 3 to (4-13) Pacific is a surprise.

Purdue really struggling right now. I think scoring runs will be a problem this year for the Boilermakers.

Michigan can score runs with any one in the conference right now.
