Spin Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 (edited) I’ve been watching the live stream on Zips Digital Network. Is there supposed to be audio on the streams? Edited March 14 by Spin Quote

ZipsBBjunkie Posted March 25 Author Report Posted March 25 (edited) So much for my high hopes. Off to a very slow, discouraging start to MAC play. Stranded 11 in 8-2 loss to Oakland today. Edited March 25 by ZipsBBjunkie 1 Quote

Zips1991 Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 Zips Softball split today's doubleheader with Buffalo, which moved them to 13-9 in the MAC and clinched a spot in the MAC Tournament for the first time since 2017. Top six teams play May 7-10 at Firestone Stadium. 5 Quote
Spin Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 (edited) Sorry for the short notice but Chris is starting against the Guardians tonight. I hope I have whatever channel it’s on tonight, in the alphabet soup of regional $port$ channel$. Update the Guardians have their own cable channel, and do not charge for using it. That’s something you don’t see anymore. Edited May 2 by Spin 1 Quote
Spin Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 Chris pitched 5.1 IP with 7 hits and 3 runs, walked 0 and struck out 2. He cannot get the W or L tonight. 1 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted Thursday at 11:26 AM Report Posted Thursday at 11:26 AM Girls played two games yesterday: lost 9-1 to Ball State in the first game but beat CMU 8-1 in the second (elimination) game to make it to Day 2. I believe the ladies play tonight at 5:30. Quote
MDZip Posted Friday at 02:48 AM Report Posted Friday at 02:48 AM Zips are still alive as one of the final four teams in the MAC tournament after beating NIU 6-4. It gets a lot tougher from here on out. Side note Alexis Campbell has had an excellent tournament but it's even more fun watching her get ready to bat. She talks to herself, makes faces and sings to her walk up music. It all seems to be working. 😁 3 Quote
Z.I.P. Posted Friday at 05:36 PM Report Posted Friday at 05:36 PM The win over Central Michigan was the 1300th win of coach Craig Nicholson's career. Congratulations man, that's a lot of Winning! Quote

Congratulations man, that's a lot of Winning! Craig is an interesting guy. He is from Canada and was a hockey player. He is a lot of fun and the players really like him. 3 Quote
ZipsVoice Posted 16 hours ago Report Posted 16 hours ago I've been lurking for the past few years, not posting at all and just an occasional visit to the site when I want to learn the real story of what's happening in U of A Sports, since there is no legacy media reporting unless you want to pay for the ridiculous Beacon, although when they do write, Brad Bourneval and Mike Bevin do a nice job. I can always count on @TennZip, @Hilltopper, @clarkwgriswold, @72Roo @Spinand @Blue & Gold to give great insights to the Zips programs. Any-hoo, I wanted to take a moment to recognize both Softball and baseball. I went over to Firestone Stadium this past week and joined the "dozens" of Zip fans and a teeny sliver of administration folk to watch the women play. They made Akron proud, in my opinion. They battled back after a lethargic start and was competitive going forward. Great coaching by Coach Nicholson, and, although not on the level with Miami or Ohio, still a wash with the other three teams. Way to go Zips! And baseball...it may look like it's the same ol' - same ol', but I watched a lot of their games and they too have improved, and Coach Faulds has done a nice job with what he has to work with. The major difference, once again in my opinion, is they need at least another power hitter, and as always, pitching hurt. If they could get two strong starters, and one more closer, they could be in the hunt for a tournament slot in the next two seasons. Anyway, just wanted to post something about the men and women who go pretty much un-noticed on campus and in then news. Go Zips! 4 2 Quote
Spin Posted 14 hours ago Report Posted 14 hours ago Thanks for the kind words. I can’t get on as much as I use to, or get out to the games as often, but there’s always a lot to find here. Quote
