WIU eliminated first, then SDSU. UNO and ORU playing for the title today. UNO needs one, ORU needs two. A storm moved through Thursday during one of the games and the stadium took a lightning hit...

I think it has. At least 2 of the fields in the American Association are artificial turf(Cleburne Railroaders & Texas AirHogs). Although it's kind of funny that none of the AA North Division teams...

WIU beat PFW today, so NDSU's season is officially over.

Bison fall to SDSU 8-1. Need PFW to win tomorrow to make the Summit tourney. Maybe 10% chance at best.

3 of the 4 Summit tourney spots have been clinched.

1. Omaha
2. SDSU
3. ORU

NDSU and WIU are fighting for the last spot. At the moment, NDSU's magic number is 1 and WIU's is 2.

Current:...

Big double play to end the inning. Runners were on the corners. One last chance for the Bison to win this one.

2-1 SDSU
bottom 9th


walk - runner on 1st, 0 outs
sac bunt - runner on 2nd, 1...

Running out of chances.

2-1 SDSU
top of 9th


Other games
WIU over PFW 4-0 top 6 (bad)
ORU over UNO 5-2 after 5 (bad)

Strikeout followed by a double play get the Bison out of the top of the 7th quickly.

New pitcher for SDSU.

Argh. Bison get a walk to lead off the bottom of the 6th, but he gets picked off trying to steal 2nd. And now there's another walk which would have made it runners on 1st & 2nd with no outs instead...

Also, SDSU has nothing left to play for at this point. UNO has locked the #1 spot, and SDSU has locked #2. We'll see if it affects their pitcher selection tomorrow.

Tiebreakers:
NDSU over WIU
WIU over ORU
ORU over NDSU

But canceled games mean some teams can't end up tied anymore.

Uggh. Bases loaded and 3 straight strikeouts to end the inning. A little bigger buffer would have been nice going into the 9th. Just need 3 outs to close out the win.

3 pitch strikeout - 1 out...

Hopefully won't jinx anything, but today has gone about as well as possible for the Bison. NDSU is fighting with WIU and ORU for the 3rd and 4th spots in the Summit tourney.

Today:
PFW upset WIU...

Three critical games coming up this week vs. SDSU. Bison really hurt their chances for the Summit tourney by giving Fort Wayne their first conference win last week.

Summit Standings (top 4 go to...

Three easy games coming(conference winless Fort Wayne) and three tough games(16-8 in conference SDSU). Currently tied with WIU for 4th, but we hold the tie-breaker with them.

What's a little wild...
