Wild wild wild game

Bison win 2nd game 7 - 1

Another late rally by the Bison!

Down 5-1 in the middle of the 7th, we score 4 in the bottom of the 7th, then score a run by a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 9th.

A weekend sweep of the Rabbits!

Bison will be the #3 seed in the conference tournament next week in Tulsa.

Any hope against Oral Roberts?

NDSU defeats Western in the opening game of the summit tournament. Score was 2-0. Stockert only allowed one hit. Tomorrow we play winner of Oral Roberts and SDSU, who play the 2nd opening round game this evening.

Looked like we were going to beat them until we shit the bed and allowed 5 runs in the top of the 7th. Stepped away for 15 minutes, not sure what happened. We blew that one and lost 6-4. We play SDSU tomorrow in an elimination game. Win our lose, ORU won't lose 2 more games.

13-4 SDSU. Seasons over.

If we shit the bed last night, we had a case of diarrhea today, wearing white pants in public.

Almost knock off ORU then eliminated by Sdsu. Puke.

North Dakota: Kevin Folman, RHP (N.D. State) | NR
Back on this list for a second straight year, the redshirt senior right-hander is coming off of a spring in which he posted a 3.18 ERA with a 49-to-11 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 45 1/3 innings. After injuring his elbow during the summer of 2015 and missing all of '16 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is working with an 89-93 mph fastball and a fringy curveball.

With the way the draft round runs, with it’s $$ cap and each round having a $$ amount allotted, senior college players can be picked for their below-budget signability, so you never know when a player might get picked - hence NDSU’s Jay Flaa gets selected in the 6th round in 2015.
In the past Folman might have been a late round pick, meant to fill out a roster, now you never know. If the area scout likes you, well, you still get a chance......

From Montana MLB Pipeline picked:

Montana: Ben Tallman, C (Billings West HS) | NR

Though primarily a catcher, Tallman's athleticism has also seen time in center and right field as well as on the mound. He committed to North Dakota State after a junior campaign in which he batted .333 with three home runs and 32 RBIs.
