Game must of been delayed some, only in the thrid inning. Couldn't get it on the radio so Gametracker is only option.

Gophers score 3 in the top of the thrid, Sac fly by Kvasnicka and a two run double by Knudson.

Ohio St. up 10-0 in the 2nd against Iowa so a sweep looks like a must.
 

Gophers add 2 in the fourth on a Gominsky bunt single and he scores on a Kyle Geason double and he scored on a Sac fly from Derek McCallum.

PSU has gone to the bullpen for the top of the fifth, looks like it is raining so it's improtant we get through the fifth.
 

Gophers add 1 in the fifth on a Knudson single, a Decker double and a balk. 6-0, Handran has given up 2 hits so far.
 

it 6-1 now. PSU has them loaded with no outs, bottom of the 5th.
 



Gophers are blowing the game, it 6-4 and PSU has 2 runners on and no outs. runner at 2nd and 3rd.
 


Gophers are not playing very well. Even with the 6-0 lead, we had chances to put alot more runs on the board and couldn't do it, then handran started to struggle and it didn't help when Geason made a big error on a double play ball and then Anderson stuck with Chauncey too long and Lubinsky allowed the tying run to score on a wild pitch. alot of walks, errors, runners left on base.


all that being said, we still have a chance to pull this out, Kvansicka singles to lead off the ninth and Knudson gets him to second with one out.

Oshea reaches on an error and Kvansicka scores, Gophers up 7-6.
 

Gophers take the lead in the top of the 9th. 7-6.
 



Bottom of the 9th coming up. 3 outs from 1,000 win for John Anderson.
 


You are updating quicker than the live stats...keep at it, come on Gophers!
 




that the game, John Anderson just won career game number 1,000. 7-6 Gophers win.
 


Scott Maytas in too close the door, he's been really good this year.

First batter grounds out to pitcher, next strikes out, error on Gominsky allows runner to first which allows there, best hitter Steranka up who already has a homer on the day AND Maytas STRIKES HIM OUT for a Gopher win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Wahoo! Great to hear, way to go Gophers! Congrats Coach Anderson! Go get 'em again tomorrow night!
 


Congrats on number 1,000 coach Anderson!!!!!:clap::clap::clap:

Nice to see the Gophers persevere and get a win after struggling all night long. Also sets the tone for the weekend (at least hopefully!!:p) and keeps the Gophers in first place after game one on the weekend.

Hopefully, Tommy B. and big Seth will also help set the tone for tomorrow and on Saturday.

All that being said, I hope coach Anderson thoroughly enjoy the occasion, although not too much. After all, we still have a conference title to hopefully win!!!!:D
 

Updated Big Ten Standings, everyone has two games to play:

MINN 16-5
OSU 16-6
ILL 16-6
IND 15-6
MSU 12-10
PUR 10-11
MICH 9-13
PSU 7-15
IOWA 4-17
NW 3-17

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Penn State is now out of tournament contention. Minnesota can do no worse than 4th at this point.
 

Excellent work, Coach Anderson. Couldn't have come at a better time.

Now let's get 2 more and claim the Big Ten title!!
 

Minnesota can clinch the big ten title tonight, if they win and both Ohio State and Indiana loses today.
 

Gophers cannot clinch the conference title with a win tonight. Indiana won today. so we win the next 2. we are the champs.
 

That the game. Gophers just beat PSU 4-2. Minnesota is 1 win away from clinching the outright Big Ten Baseball title.
 

Two up and two down in Happy Valley!!!:clap::clap:

The pitching was really good today and the offense did just enough to get the win. Nice to see Decker come up with the homer to give Matyas a little room to work with in the ninth.

Rosin was great all day. Had one ball hit hard off him all day and unfortunately, it left the park. But I'll take seven innings while allowing four hits and two runs with no walks and seven strike outs every time.

Now we have our best pitcher going tomorrow for the sweep and the Big Ten title!!!

Go Tommy B and the go Gophers!!!!

Michigan and Northwestern play a double header tomorrow. Minnesota can at worst tie Indiana.
 


Ok, some tie breaking in the event of the a loss and wins by OSU, Illinois and Indiana (yes, I know thing positive, but I wanted to figure this out just in case):

1. The winner of the game or series of games between the two tied teams shall receive the higher seeding spot.

The Gophers and Hoosiers played two games this season, they split the series

2. In the event these two teams divide a series between themselves, the team with the best winning percentage against all teams ending the season (tied or not) in positions 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the final Conference standings will receive the higher seeding spot.

This gets tough since it's not hashed out yet. But going of tonight's standings, OSU, Illinois, Michigan State and Purdue would be the other four teams in the conference tournament.

Against those four teams, in order:
Minnesota: 2-1, 1-2, 0-0, 3-0 = 6-3. If Michigan overtakes Purdue, the Gophers would drop to 5-4.
Indiana: 0-0, 2-1, 3-0*, 1-2 = 6-3. If Michigan overtakes Purdue, the Hoosiers would jump to 7-2. (* this whole scenario relies on Indiana defeating MSU, so for analyzing this, it's looked at as a win to see how the tie breaker would play out).

3. Best winning percentage against Big Ten common opponents.

Both teams faced off against Northwestern, Illinois, Purdue, Iowa, Michigan and Penn State this season.

Minnesota would be 14-4, while Indiana would be 13-5 against these common opponents. This would be the final tie breaker needed, if the second one didn't take care of it, via Michigan jumping Purdue.

Of course this all becomes pointless if the Gophers break out the brooms tomorrow!
 

Game one update from Evanston, Michigan leads 3-1 after three. Northwestern had two walked to start the third inning, but couldn't do a thing with it.
