It's a final now. Gophers down Purdue 5-2 to sweep the series and improve to 27-12 overall and 10-4 in the Big Ten. Luke Rasmussen started the ninth and then was relieved by Scott Matyas, who picked up the save.
The starters were very good all weekend, starting with Handran, continuing with Buske and finishing up with Rosin and his eight strikeouts in five innings today. Also, the offense was a bit better today, finishing with 12 hits as a team. Nice to see McCallum knock out his 11th homer of the year as well.
In addition, Ohio State got beat by Northwestern this afternoon while Illinois beat Penn State and Indiana beat Michigan, so the Buckeyes and Illini are both 11-4 in the league while the Gophers and Indiana are both 10-4. Sets up for a big week against the Jackrabbits and then the Hawkeyes.
