The weather interfered with a lot of softball over the weekend. Softball up north is a lot different than softball in the south or west. It is a different style of softball. The fields are slower and the wind really blows the ball around.
For Newbies, the "grand old teams" of the Big 10 are Michigan and Iowa. They have had college softball forever. They are a little like Boston and New York. Lately, Michigan has been dominating the Big 10. Northwestern is a relative new comer to softball compared to the Wolverines and Hawkeyes, but they have been making a lot of noise the past two years.
Lately, Michigan and Northwestern are the only teams that can compete in the top 25.
I'm betting on Michigan to win the conference tournament, and Northwestern to pick up a wild card slot.
