Tie game 8-8. End of 6th. Weird ending to the inning. According to livestats:

A. Mintari reached on catcher's interference, grounded out to c unassisted (2-2 BBKFF); B. Ferguson advanced to second; T. Prescott advanced to third; As. Bousquet scored, unearned.

Anyone know what the rules are for game length during the tourney? Yesterday had games go for 5 and 7 innings, and this one looks to be going to 9.

And 10-8 IPFW with the hairy elephants having the bases loaded and only 1 out.

Should be 7 innings...anything longer is considered extra.

An 8 run lead after five innings invokes the mercy rule. Games are normally 7 innings, unless of course the game is tied.

Hammersmith

Okay, then this one must be over and they just messed up the livestats somewhere along the way. Live stats had the score as 8-9 going into the bottom of the 7th; that should've ended the game if correct. But they played the bottom of the 7th until a run scored. So it must have actually been 8-8 or 9-9 going into the bottom of the 7th and the game is now over with IPFW winning 9-8 or 10-9.

Wow.......what was IUPUI's record during the season and how did the Bison do against them? Wonder if the rain delay will make a difference for or against the Bison? I still have a tough time with these conf tourneys deciding who goes to the national tourney. Makes the regular season almost meaningless except for seeding. I assume NDSU has a chance to play back and win 2 to take the conf tourney even if they lose this first game. Didn't the softball team have to do that last year and fall a bit short in the 2nd game of the final?

The two runs that scored had less to do with IUPUI as NDSU. 5-pitch walk. Runner advanced to 2nd on passed ball. Another 5-pitch walk. 2 RBI double.

What is the deal with all the runs being scored in all the games of the tournament this year? Excluding the Yotes opening 7-2 win over the Bunnies, the other 5 games have averaged 17 runs per game. Win blowing out all 3 days? Umpires shrinking the strike zone?

If Bionic Woman had a better theme song I post it here for Krista Menke. She's got to be a cyborg or part alien or something after this weekend's performance. Did she reach 400 pitches or come up short?

Never mind, answered my own question. Of the 41 innings over the 6 games, Krista pitched 36 of them for a total of 774 total pitches. At least 515 of those were consecutive(4 straight complete games). Krista came just short of 90% of the pitches thrown by the Bison.

Whatever she's drinking, I want some.

Nice that it's close to home and one of the "weakest" regionals. (got the 16-seed in it) Whether it will really be that easy remains to be seen, but it's better than facing the #1 overall like we had to do a couple years back.

Easily our best draw ever.

I think every other time we've gotten the host team right away.

Bison head to the Minneapolis regional. Gophers are the host team. Bison play Auburn.

Another FBS door opens foe Gene Taylor in other sports besides softball. Generates good relationships.
