Dawgs beat Central Ark. tonight for their 2nd win. Two games tomorrow against UCA and Purdue. Gonna be cold as a witch's nips!
This is pretty much a new team - lots of new starters.
Dawgs lose to Central Arkansas 10-7 in Game 1 but walk off Purdue in Game 2
Leading 7 - 5 late in the game, we blow it against UCA.
Each team start the 8th with a runner on second. SIU makes a great play on a double to centerfield in the 8th and Austin to Lis throws out the Purdue runner at home. Bottom of the 8th, their pitcher makes a throwing error to 1st, allowing SIU runner to score and win the game. That's justice because a couple of Purdue runs were due to SIU errors.
Transfer veteran pitcher McKenzie Newcomb finally pitched the way we expected, going all 8 innings and getting better as the game went on. Had 6 strikeouts.
Purdue played musical chairs with three different pitchers. Didn't work. SIU 5 Purdue 4
We play Purdue tomorrow at 1:30 and Purdue FW at 4pm.
Purdue 2 -1 in the 3rd and threatening.
Back to back walkoffs against Purdue

Purdue takes a 5-3 lead in the 8th. Thought we were dead meat but Dawgs score 3 to win it in extras. Team playing better and looser, but I seriously doubt we'll be winning the MVC with our lack of pitching.
2nd game we hammered Purdue Fart Wayne - run ruled 16 - 4.
Freshman pitcher Dahlstrom from Cal. has good stuff - gets her first college win. Gonna be really tough in a year or two.
Salukis beat NIU 8-0 after losing 2-1 earlier today against Wisconsin
We held WIsco to 4 hits while we had 10 - just couldn't put them together.
Run-ruled NIU! Promising freshman pitchers Gipson and Dahlstrom shut them down. Dahlstrom had 5 SOs in 2 innings.
Win 2 Sunday!
Dawgs whip Wisconsin 7 - 3 and beat NIU again 4 - 1.
The dreaded Redturds are here for 3 this weekend. Game 1 Fri. at 1 PM.
Like to see a sweep.
Dawgs 1 Redturds 0 today. Emma Austin, MVC player of the week, is redhot.
10 - 15 last week and 2 for 3 today. Pitchers held Turds to 3 hits.
Game 2 at 2pm tomorrow.
Dawgs shutout the Redturds again, 3 - 0.
Game 3 tomorrow at Noon. Need one more shutout!
On a cold day
In Car bon da lay
Salukis put the redturds away!
SWEEP! 8 - 4 today
Pitching getting better and the senior transfer from Samford, McKenzie Newcomb, is getting into a groove! 5 SOs and a save in 2 innings.
Misery State in town for 2 windy games. Only 4 - 19 but just swept UIC.
On ESPN+ at 5pm.
