Another good day

The Braves continued their winning ways against the best team in the AL as they beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-3. The Blue Jays jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third off of Atlanta starter Derek Lowe, but could not defend the lead in the bottom of the inning as Casey Kotchman had a 2-RBI double to tie the score. Lowe helped himself with a RBI single in the 4th and Kelly Johnson had a solo homer in the 6th to make the score 4-2. The ninth inning was trouble again, as closer Mike Gonzalez allowed a run then issued a walk to load the bases with one out and the tying run on third. Rafael Soriano came in and struck out Kevin Millar and got Marco Scutaro to fly out to end the game. It was Soriano's 4th save of the season. Lowe pitched 7 1/3 innings and got his 6th win of the season, which leads the NL. The final game of the series is at 135p today. Jair Jurrjens will pitch for the Braves.

The IU baseball team won its first Big Ten championship since 1996 by beating Minnesota 13-2. In the tourney, IU was 4-0 and outscored their opponents 47-9, beating #1 seed Ohio State, rival Purdue, and #2 seed Minnesota twice. If they can get that type of pitching against those decent teams, they may put up a good fight in the NCAA tourney. It looks like they may get the basketball equivalent of a #12 seed, which mean they would be the third best team in their regional.
