Projections below, with a writeup here

[maizeblue13]

Michigan routs Eastern Michigan 18-4 in Ann Arbor

[Watson]

LSU beat UNO and NWST.

[Tovarich]

Gagged that game away with errors in the bottom of the 9th...and the whole game. Can't lose Andrew Moore games. Might end up getting swept now.

Or the Beavs take Game 2 4-2. Shows what I know.

[Watson]

LSU took two of 3 from Auburn.

Other real notable score is that Fresno State took a series from Nevada

[RebelHog]

We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Not a clue of how we pulled this off against Ags.

[Tovarich]

Beavs took 2/3 against USC despite Andrew Moore getting roughed up Friday night. Riddle me that.

[TracerBullet]

UW probably gonna lose in extra innings again. Damn you, Tovarich.
