Minnesota Game (links) is on BTN
- Thread starter snowling
- Start date
I'm here at The Bart. Hoosiers are actually the visiting team today, wearing their gray uniforms and in what's typically the visitors dugout over by the first base side.
Sophomore Jonathan Stiever getting the start for IU today. Junior lefty Lucas Gilbreath, who pitched 7 scoreless innings against the Hoosiers in Game of 1 of the two teams' mid-April weekend series, gets the start for Minnesota.
Also, here's my preview from yesterday in case you missed it:

Slight drizzle at Bart Kaufman Field right now. One of the BTN broadcasters said it will cause grounders to skip because of that and the artificial turf.
Stiever had a rocky start last time against Minnesota. Gave up 7 runs and 13 hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Gets a strikeout though to start.
