M 46 OSU 2! (softball)
Apologies if this was already written up, but I scrolled through older posts and didn't see anything since Saturday.
Anyway, the M softball team destroyed OSU again on Sunday in Columbus, mercy-ruling the Bucks 20-0. M pitcher Megan Betsa had little trouble, allowing just 4 baserunners and striking out 9. Just about every M hitter got in on the act. Sierra Romero, Kelly Christner, Sierra Lawrence, Kelsey Susalla, Aidan Falk, Amanda Vargas, and Taylor Swearingen all scored at least two runs. Lawrence, Falk, Vargas, and Swearingen all drove in at least 3, and Tera Blanco drove in 2. Vargas and Swearingen both homered twice, and Falk once.
The combined final scores for the 3-game series were M 46, OSU 2. That's M 46, OSU 2. M 46. OSU 2. Heh.
Hutch earned her 1400th win this weekend too
Congrats Coach Hutch and Go Blue!!
If only this was the score of a sport that plays in late November. Sigh.

Man in his prime Tyson was a monster in the ring (and out of it).
It's a shame, but it's the way of the world.

in Ann Arbor in football or basketball since 2013, so yay!
That is exactly why I don't understand the bragging that goes on around here for these non-revenue sports. Football and basketball are the primary sports with hockey being a distant third.
Are you even an alum? So if a Michigan faculty member wins a prize, like the Nobel, MacArthur Grant, Field medal, etc or a student gets a Rhodes Scholarship that would mean nothing to you?
OSU could beat us in every sport every time and Michigan still wouldn't be inferior.........because we would all still have a degree from Michigan (rather than OSU).
They scored 2? Our pitching obviously needs work.

srlsy
although I could do without the safety.
Great weekend for the girls..
The safety was self-inflicted via a kneeldown to avoid injury in the last seconds of the game. Just another way for Jim to stick it to our enemies - he won't even let them score their own points on us.
With all the problems that occurred in football, basketball, and hockey this year, good to see these girls kickin the crap out of people. Will be fun to watch them in the CWS this year.
These girls are on a tear. This is poised to be a very magical season.
Can they play offensive line?
for that matter.
The pitchers can't. With their pitching style, the ball will never go higher than the offensive linemen's butts, let alone to a receiver.
there has been a severe beating administered!
Carb (over)-loading for sure!
It'll be 2015 football score as well. Harbaugh!
Michigan has hit at least one grand slam the last 3 years against OSU. They hit two in one day in one of those games.
Think about that for a moment.
Fielding Yost would be proud.
Also, Hutch is #3 all-time in the sport of Softball in head coaching wins. The record is 1457. She'll hit it, no doubt.
the first rpi rankings are out:
1. FLORIDA
2. LSU
3. MICHIGAN
4. AUBURN
5. ALABAMA
The rpi is a good predictor of ncaa tournament seed. LSU beat Florida 2/3 but overall has a weaker schedule.
The top 15 is entirely SEC and PAC12 schools aside from Michigan and #6 Florida State... Minnesota checks in at 16.
Edit: Kansas and Louisiana-Lafayette are also top 15... not sure what I was looking at.
I saw yesterday discussion on Michigans best player before Sierra Romero. I'd throw Jessica Merchant's name into that field... she was shortstop while I was in school and now an assistant at Minnesota coinciding with their recent burst of success. Samantha Findley will always be known for her hit versus UCLA in the world series. As far as pitchers there are a lot of really good ones, but Ritter was a beast.
46 to 2 you say.... 46 & 2... time to put on some Tool.

Change is coming through my shadow Harbaugh
Coach Hutchins, why did you run up the score to 20-0?
Hutchins: Because we were limited by the mercy rule of running it up even further.
(obviously only my dream interview question and answer)
I wish that were the score in football but will take it in any sport, becase OSU and the entire state of OHten creates such a vacuum that it induces a massive change of pressure!
I be like dang. O_O
staying up late celebrating the Wrestling natty...
I kid, I kid
