Amusing reading the "crying" on twitter from certain St. Norbert supporter regarding tonight's games being played at Barlow Park in Ripon instead of Francis Field.  General opinion was that it was advantage to the hitters because it plays short.

Well, Ripon manages to beat St. Norbert 8-7 despite managing just two extra basehits, a double and a triple (compared to SNC's five doubles.)

Grinnell is the first team to be knocked out...

I admit, that was me. And the game ended up not being played at Barlow.

Quite a battle today in Ripon. Good luck to the Red Hawks in the NCAAs.

Kinda figured it would come down to Ripon/St. Norbert...split 4 regular season games, split the first 2 meetings in the tournament, and 2 of the 3 tournament meetings went to extra innings.  Congrats to the Red Hawks and good luck in the NCAA tournament.
