This is Chris Webb your regularly schedule blogger. Thanks to Matt again for handling game 1 as I had a late night.
Minnesota has just defeated Purdue 12-3 to advance in the Big Ten Tournament. Purdue has been eliminated, whle the Gophers will play Illinois at 3:45.
Minnesota senior Tom Buske took the mound for the Gophers and stayed on the mound. The righty threw a complete game, which Coach John Anderson has to love, turning right around and having a bullpen that was not used. Buske in his 9 innings allowed 7 hits, 3 ER all in the first 3 innings, walked 2 and struck out 4.
Leading Minnesota offensively were numbers players, Nohelty, Petterson, McCallum, Kvasnicka, O'Shea, and Decker all logged multi-hit games. Minnesota touched up Purdue pitching for 6 doubles, a triple, and 2 home runs. McCallum with 3-for-5 having on eof the doubles as well as home runs, driving in 4.
The bulk of the offensively output came against Purdue's Matt Morgan. Morgan in 4.2 IP allowed 8 hits, 6 runs all earned, walked 4 and struck out 4. Leading Purdue at the plated was 1st teamm All-Big Ten centerfielder Brandon Haveman. Havemen went 3-for-5 scoring a run. First basemen John Cummins hit a 2-run HR in the bottom of the 1st to account for 2 RBI, Cummins scored 2 runs to close the scoring for the Boilermakers.
A fuller recap will be later, as well as quotes from both teams players and coaches.
We're 10 minutes for Illinois-Minnesota.
During that game I can catch up the world on yesterday's action. Mainly me just posting video from the Big Ten Network, I apologize for hardly doing any of my own writing, blogging can become quite the fulltime job, and everything intended doesn't always get done.
