A Late Saturday Thread

Yes, the games are already underway and some have been completed. (Thank you, Mr. Formerly, for the updates.) I'm busy with other things, so I'll leave this post here for the rest of your Saturday comments.

8:00pm Update
Almost everyone is done. Only Northwestern's second contest of the day at New Mexico is going to go on for a while. Here's what we've got so far.

(30) Ohio State 8 Army 4 (Game 1 - Seven Innings)
(30) Ohio State 3 Army 1 (Game 2 - Seven Innings)
Matt Streng had two hits, two runs and three RBI in the opener for the Buckeyes. Zach Hurley (two RBI) and Ryan Dew both had a pair of hits. Eric Best improved to 3-0.

In the second affair, Dean Wolosiansky got the win going 4.1 innings and giving up one run on one hit and three walks. Middle reliever extraordinaire Drew Ruckinski picked up his second save. Justin Miller, Dan Burkhart and Cory Rupert drove in the OSU runs. Rupert and Michael Stephens both had two hits. (For the record, I still dislike seven inning games, doubleheaders or not.)

Minnesota 11 Dallas Baptist 9
The Gophers' Matt Nohelty collects four hits, two runs and two walks. Derek McCallum had five RBI. McCallum and Michael Kvasnicka went yard. Cullen Sexton came out of the bullpen to earn the win. He's now 4-0. Scott Matyas worked the ninth to get the save.

Illinois 7 Hartford 3
Dominic Altobelli's two hits, two runs and three RBI lead the Illini. Ben Reeser moves to 3-0 by going six innings and giving up three runs, but none earned. Reeser allowed just three hits and a walk. He also fanned six.

Michigan 4 IPFW 1
Eric Katzman's the story in Ann Arbor. The lefty works six full innings allowing four hits, two walks and one unearned run. Katzman also K'd 10 Mastadons. Matt Miller came on to pitch the final three stanzas and surrendered a hit, a walk and no runs. Miller struck out five. Mike Dufek's homer and two RBI were the offensive highlight for the Wolverines.

Central Connecticut State 12 Indiana 9
IU's Tyler Rogers had three hits, four runs scored and two RBI to pace the offense. Kipp Schutz had three hits, T.C. Knipp had three RBI. Vince Gonzalez continues his strong run with another two hits today. The Hoosiers bullpen gave up seven runs over the last two innings.

Michigan State 9 Oakland 6
The Spartans' Jeff Holm drove in five on two hits. Chris Roberts had three hits. Jonathan Roof had two hits, two runs scored and two RBI. OU's D.J. Jarrad also had the two-hit, two-run, two-RBI trifecta. MSU's Kurt Wunderlich gets the win in relief.
