Atlanta beat the Mets last night to complete a four-game sweep of the hated New Yorkers. Chipper Jones had the go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning off of Johan Santana, and Kelly Johnson had three hits in the game. Tim Hudson gave up 2 earned runs in 7 innings for the win. Will Ohman pitched the final out for his first save of the season. The Braves have another big series with Arizona this weekend. It is a four game series Fri-Mon with Friday's game starting at 735p. Jo Jo Reyes will pitch for Atlanta and Doug Davis will throw for Arizona.
The Ball State Cardinals stayed alive in the MAC tournament with a 7-5 victory over Central Michigan. Kory Benbow had a home run and 3 RBI, while Zach Dygert and Matt Stokelen had 2 hits, 2 RBI, and a home run each. Kyle Heyne shutout the Chippewas over the last 3 innings for the win. The Cardinals continue tournament play at 1230p against Northern Illinois in an elimination game. If the Cards win, they will play Kent State at 730p on Friday.
Brownsburg completed its regular season with an 8-5 win over Fishers. Matt Duncan got the win on the mound, brining his record to 5-0 on the season. Tucker Barnhart hit his 11th home run of the season and the 27th of his career. BBurg finished the regular season in second place in the HCC with a 14-4 record. Their season record is 22-4. The IHSAA tournament starts on Monday when the Dogs travel to Avon for the first round of the sectional. Game time is 11am.
The NCAA softball super regionals start today. Here are my predictions in order of confidence:
#1 Florida over Cal
#3 Alabama over Missouri
#6 Arizona St over #11 Northwestern
#2 UCLA over #15 Georgia
#4 Michigan over Virginia Tech
#8 Houston over U-La-La
#5 Texas A&M over #12 Stanford
#10 Oklahoma over #7 Arizona
They are all chalky picks, with the exception of Oklahoma over Arizona, and that series is basically a toss-up anyway.
