Today is the last Sunday of the regular season. Next week's final action concludes on Saturday. It's very difficult to believe the season has reached the final stages. Does any other sport season go by quite as quickly as college baseball?
It's already raining here in Michigan, so I'm a bit concerned about how many contests are going to be played across the Big Ten this afternoon. This radar doesn't inspire confidence, either (as of 1:00pm EST). Looks like a small hurricane circling the heart of conference. It also looks like my prediction that Illinois and OSU is going to be played will end up wrong. (Does that make me an "official" weather forecaster?)
Worse, I can't imagine State College, West Lafayette or Evanston getting much relief today. On the upside, Minneapolis looks to be in the clear.
As usual, I encourage you to update the comments with scores, highlights and opinions as the day progresses. I hope to update this post as the day goes along. Assuming, of course, there's something to update.
Finally, on this Mother's Day, I send out best wishes to all the "Baseball Moms" out there.
Scoreboard Update (as of 1:26pm EST):
Iowa 3 Penn State 1 (5th)
Michigan 1 Minnesota 0 (1st)

The Spartans and Purdue also lost game 4 in that series to the rain.MSU won the series 2-1.
No info on NW-IU but i would guess they are in a rain delay.
Mike Dufek just hit a grand slam for Michigan.
Michigan 5 Minnesota 4 - Top 6 (Game 1)
Big sweep for Penn State this weekend after losing 3/4 to Michigan State last weekend. Sadly, I didn't make it out to any of the games, but I'm glad to see they won. They're making a push for the #3 seed in the conference tournament, and with Illinois playing Purdue next weekend, I certainly wouldn't rule it out.
Michigan takes it, 11-5 in the ninth. What a crazy game.
Michigan is the Champion of the Big Ten regular season!
Michigan completed the sweep of Minnesota 12-8. Ben Jenzen got the win in relief of Tyler Burgoon, who didn't make it out of the first inning.
Michigan got 3 runs in each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th innings to overcome a 4-0 defecit and coasted the rest of the way.
