*****Official #76 RPI IOWA at #194 RPI Northwestern Games Thread (Fri on BTN; Sat & Sun on BTN PLUS)*****

Nice to see Williams' bat coming alive. Going to need for Adreon and Norman's bats to awaken as well. If you buy into the notion that Iowa can go 4-2 and have a decent argument to get in (and I'm not sure that I'm buying that notion), Iowa cannot lose with Wallace on the mound. Friday wins are a must. (As I type this, NW goes deep and I cannot believe that ball left the park) Kudos to Wallace for stepping up big time. Here's hoping the Cascade Kid can clean up the balance of the game and save Nedved for when he may be needed on Saturday and Sunday.

I am tempted to say go with Leonard if one more guy reaches base.
 
Best day of baseball on BTN in a while. Michigan and Maryland up next followed by Nebraska and Indiana.


GO BLUE!!!

A few things I’ve noticed. Iowa is in “Sunday golds” today, and Northwestern honored their seniors as well. Does this mean we aren’t playing tomorrow?
