Picked up my football playoff tickets at the dome when some of the girls were working the office, pretty happy to tell me they had a Hawaii trip this year.
They will be ready to go

[bosco]

We will need a win against Baylor on Friday. Beating another ranked team would payoff big time to get a good seed for the big dance.

NDSU defeats Cal 6-5

[Bison Fan 17]

Bison win 6-5. Watched it live on the feed from Hawaii website.Not bad feed had to turn volume to hear PA though.

[BisonTeacher]

Bison down by 3 in bot 7. Is Coach Mueller not at third? I havent watched a lot of games this year but is that normal?

Bison lose 5-8. PLay again shortly vs Hawaii

Usually it is Jamie Trachsel at third. Left a lot of runners on base in the game against Baylor.

[BisonTeacher]

Usually it is Jamie Trachsel at third.

Did that start this year? Wasnt mueller on third last year?

[HerdBoy]

I could be mistaken.

[BisonTeacher]

I could be mistaken.

I could be too. I dont get to watch enough to be sure. I usually only watch the free feeds and playoff time. Just struck me as odd.

[HerdBoy]

I'll have to pay closer attention next time. Maybe he was out of view of the camera since it was fixed to one spot.

No it was definitely not him. It was a female. The last game I watched was last year and I am pretty sure Mueller was on Third. Just wondering why the change. Im sure its not a huge deal.

Mixing it up a bit maybe. I'll have to watch next game.

A couple of bad plays there. Runner interference on a foul ball? Tough loss.

[SC_TX]

already as many losses this year as all of last year

[Mr Meaty]

Well this year schedule has been harder compared to last year. Also they only lost 2 conference games last year so the losses might be to an end. Plus the pitcher we had last years was completely lights out. This battery of pitchers we have this year are coming around nicely and will do the job.

[bosco]

I'm not worried about the record so far this season. We've taken on a tough OOC schedule and based on our history I'm sure it's by design. We tend to take care of business during conference play and need that OOC schedule to prepare us for regionals. Our pitching is coming along. I really like what I'm seeing with Sertic so far she's the real deal. KK has the tools for sure (wicked off speed pitch really stands out ) now just some experience and consistency. Defense is tough and top to bottom I like our offense. We have the talent now we just need to gel.

It's been way way tougher. And our wins have been tougher too.These games will make us better late in the year when it really counts. And the losses have been close. 2 run losses to teams like Baylor are in a way confidence building losses.
