Rutgers Baseball (25-24, 7-15) welcomed Minnesota (36-13, 17-4) for the final regular season series of the year. Wow time flies. Rutgers season has been trending in the wrong direction, but if they can manage to win just one of the games this weekend, the Scarlet Knights will record their first winning season since 2014. It won’t be easy as the first place Golden Gophers have simply been on fire of late, and took the first game, 4-0 Thursday. Rutgers has been officially eliminated from any chance of a spot in the Big Ten baseball tournament.
Thursday: Minnesota 4, Rutgers 0
Starter John O’Reilly held the Golden Gophers scoreless the first time through the batting order but surrendered a single run in the 3rd followed by a three spot in the fourth.
