Comish Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 3 one run victories...... Somehow, I doubt we pull that out last year. Love the new mindset. Quote Link to comment

Hopefully, it reflects the old cliche' "finding a way to win". Regardless, they need to maintain momentum Tuesday and next weekend or this series will be negated. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I love the fact that Erstad is instilling his passion and edge to this program and I really think we should consider ourselves lucky to have him come back here. He has the team on track to great things it will just take a another season but still they are doing all right this year. Look at what the freshman in Kelly is doing pretty amazing when you see how many times he was clutch this season. Quote Link to comment
huskerswrkhavoc Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 does anyone know how the big 10 baseball tournament works? i know the top 6 teams get in and the top 2 teams get a bye in the first game. assuming that it is double elimination with so few teams, but not really sure. listening to the post game so maybe they will explain. Huge sweep this weekend. Very very much needed wins at home against a team we are competing with for the conference tourney. As far as the tourney goes. Top 2 teams get a bye. The 1 seed plays the lowest seed that wins round 1, 2 seed gets the other. It goes in true double elimination style. In the winners bracket round 2 games (1 and 2 seed games), the losers go down to the losers bracket, with the higher seeded losing team getting a bye. It sounds kinda complicated, but I'll link to the bracket below. There is still a chance we could get the 2 seed if we sweep at Michigan next week. Ohio St plays @ Indiana, and would need to win 2 of 3, because Indiana owns the tiebreaker against us. Penn St plays @ Michigan St, who would need to win 2 of 3 against Penn St. In the case that Michigan St were to sweep or Penn St wins 2, we would be tied in record with them. Since we didn't play either team, the tie breaker goes to record against common opponents.. I'm too tired and lazy to look that up right now, but the for sure thing for us to have a chance at the 2 seed is Ohio St to take at least 2 of 3 @ Indiana. Again, huge series sweep here. Great for momentum and the way it happened, with 3 close games, is huge for confidence. Need that going into the final weeks of the year. http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/big10/sports/m-basebl/auto_pdf/2011-12/misc_non_event/baseball_bracket_2012.pdf Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Sweeping a team in a weekend series that we are fighting with near the top of the standings is huge this time of year. Winning 3 one run games on top of that is even better and should give the men a much needed boost in confidence. Keep fighting Huskers and make this a year to remember. Quote Link to comment

Now we just need to win the series at Ann Arbor. Penn State plays at Sparty this weekend, so that'll knock one of those teams down, hopefully below us if we win the Michigan series. The Hoosiers are one game ahead of us, and they host the Buckeyes for three games. If OSU can take the series we could jump up there as well. Anyone know the tiebreakers, and how they're applied? Is there any chance we move up to the second seed with a sweep? Holy guacamole - what if we get swept? Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Holy guacamole - what if we get swept? Michigan is bad bad bad. Only worse team than them in the conference is Northwestern. Wait, uh oh. Quote Link to comment
huskereddie Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If there are about the same as Northwestern, I would count on 1 win........... Quote Link to comment
