Spartan Spring 2017 Sports Thread

[MattyFresh]

• Baseball and softball.
  
• Men's and women's golf.
  
• Rowing.
  
• Men's and women's tennis.
  
• Men's and women's outdoor track and field.
  

I'll be going to a few of these sporting events this spring, mainly Baseball and Softball games with nieces or nephews. Thought the non-revs deserve better then the general MSU thread.

Don't know shit about gymnastics but keeping score to the thousandth of a point seems kind of extreme.

imagine competing in a sport where the level of subjectivity by an old judge in need of an eye exam is scored down to the thousandth..

That's one way to look at it.

Aside from that, who needs that level of precision except engineers and maybe international monetary traders?

yeah - it's why I can't get into sports whose winners are determined by subjectivity...

though it could be argued that a lot of sports have an element of subjectivity with regard to officiating, etc.

Michigan State completed the sweep of homestanding Loyola-Marymount on Sunday, scoring a 7-5 victory over the Lions. MSU has extended its winning streak to five games and improves to 10-2 overall.
Lea Foerster continued her torrid hitting pace with a pair of doubles and four RBI, and was twice hit by a pitch. Senior Sarah Gutknecht also had a pair of hits.
Bridgette Rainey (5-1) started the game and picked up her fifth win of the season, which is her career high. She struck out five and walked two, scattering six hits. Kristina Zalewski entered in the bottom of the fifth and tossed three innings in relief, earning her second save of the weekend by allowing one earned run on a pair of hits and striking out two.
The Spartans took an early lead with two-out rallies in each of the first three innings - MSU scored single runs in the first and second frames, then exploded for five runs in the third to build a 7-2 lead. The Lions got two in the fourth on an RBI double by Irma Sanchez, and tacked on a fifth in the bottom of the seventh on an RBI single by Alicia Brown, but Zalewski buttoned it down and got a big strikeout to end the game.
MSU heads out on its Spring Break next week, starting thing off at the Georgia Bulldog Invitational in Athens. MSU will take on Eastern Tennessee and Central Connecticut in addition to playing two games against the host Bulldogs.

Softball:

Sorry, haven't kept you gents up to date but today the Spartans won their third straight and improve to 15-4  overall. Currently are up in the 6th vs KSU 8-6.

[Floyd Robertson]

So the only downside to being 15-4 is Joseph isn't getting fired?

Spartans Finish Sixth at The Briar's Creek Invitational

Just go is right. Unfortunately she'll be going into her 90s now with this lifetime pass.
