Watched us beat DePaul the other night..great game. We should whip up on Butler and Loyola was absolutely terrible last year so I hope we pound the crap out out of them.
Beat the Loyola Sisters of the Poor!
Saw us beat Butler in extra innings. The Bulldogs tied it on a 2-run homer. Went to the 8th and they took the lead 3 - 2. Bottom of the 8th, Dawgs score 2 to win it 4 - 3. Now 13 - 2. Butler only had 3 hits. There's a new rule in softball. In extra innings, the last batter of the previous inning is placed on 2nd base. Makes it easier to score and shortens the game. Worked in the Dawgs favor today.
Play Butler tomorrow at 2 PM. Supposed to be a beautiful 72 with little wind. Good day for biking the beautiful campus of The Southern Illinois University and catching another Dawg victory!!!!
We improve to 14-2 after shutting out Butler 8-0!
Up next Middle Tennessee State - Thursday at 5pm at the MTSU invitational in Murfreesboro. Also appearing: Western Illinois, Wisconsin Green Bay and Appalachian St.

19 - 3 Salukis sweep two from Mo State! Madi Eberle now 8 -1.
Bad call by the dumbpire made it close. Jackie Lis doubled up MOst in the 6th but he called it a trap, giving them bases loaded with no outs. Replay showed the glove under the ball. Won anyway.
3 - 15 Valpo comes in Friday for three more losses! 😀
These games are on ESPN+ or ESPN3.

That's great! I hope we don't stumble against Valpo, because this team is on track to do something special.
Salukis run rule Valpo twice today .. 11 - 0, 12 - 0.
We run rule Valpo again 9 - 1. I'm very disappointed we #1) let them score a run this weekend, #2) did not score in double digits today! LOL
11 - 0, 12 - 0, 9 - 1
Series at Belmont adjusted to have double-header Saturday starting at 2pm.
No word on Wednesday's game at SEMO will be re-scheduled. SEMO is scheduled to come here on Tuesday the 28th. Could play a DH then.

Lost 2 of 3. Competition getting tougher now. (except for VALPOOR)
Softball scores 4 in the bottom of the 7th/last to walk off SEMO 7 - 6.
I think that's 14 wins in a row at home this season.
