UMass gave up 22 hits, seven walks and committed three errors on Friday against Charlotte. It lost the game, 18-3.
It only got worse for the Minutemen Saturday.
This time, Charlotte pounded out 29 hits, drew 10 walks and UMass committed six errors. For those counting at home, that adds up to 45 baserunners.
And a 24-6 beat down.
Rob Lyerly had one of the best games you'll ever see for the 49ers: 6-for-6, 6 RBI, 4 R, 3 HR, 2 2B, 3B and a walk.
In the ninth inning, with three home runs already, Lyerly drove a ball into deep left-center field. At first it appeared that he had his fourth home run of the afternoon, but it fell into the gap for a triple.
These teams meet up again Sunday at noon.

Travis Ford left the Massachusetts men's basketball program for a better conference and a higher-profile job at Oklahoma State.
He also left for the money.
How much?
Try $9 million over seven years.

Beanpot excitement
Baseball
Eli Rosenswaike
BOSTON -- If you weren't at Fenway Park, you missed quite a game.
UMass's Mike Dicato lost his no-hitter in the ninth inning -- and the Minutemen almost blew their 4-0 ninth inning lead -- but Mitchell Eilenberg helped preserve the win, 4-3.
Check out the full story.
Also, check out Mike Connors' sidebar on the gem that Dicato hurled.

Ryan Franczek's struggles continue, as he hit into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh.
But UMass and Dicato are in cruise control, even with the small lead.

Ford watch...OVER
Men's basketball
Eli Rosenswaike
Weeks of speculation involving where Massachusetts men's basketball coach Travis Ford will coach next season are over.
He isn't going anywhere.
UMass athletic director John McCutcheon made the announcement Thursday night at 7 p.m., saying that Ford will be back in Amherst next season as coach.
"I want to give every one of you an opportunity to have a nice, deep cleansing breath. Relax a little bit, with the knowledge that Travis Ford, our head men's basketball coach, is going to be with us for many years to come," McCutcheon said at the team's end-of-the-season banquet.
The announcement came just one day after Ford interviewed for the Providence coaching position and two days after saying he did not want to be considered for the job at Lousiana State.
"It's been a long two days," Ford said, struggling to find the right words. "It was a tough decision. Any time you have options to look at great places [it's tough], but it was easy to make the decision with all the reasons that I wanted to be here."

Massachusetts men's basketball coach Travis Ford interviewed for the head job at Providence yesterday.
As of now (11:45 a.m. on Thursday) there has been no press conference scheduled at Providence.
Be sure to continuously check this blog for updates.
Ironically, the UMass basketball team is scheduled to have its end-of-the-year banquet tonight.
It could be quite interesting to see Ford -- if it happens -- there AFTER he accepted the job at Providence. Although if he does take the job, he may not show up at the banquet at all.
So many possibilities.
This story has been developing almost hourly the past few days, so again, be sure to check back here periodically.

They can thank Ricky Harris for that. He just hit a big 3-pointer off a pass from Etienne Brower to cut the lead to four.
Harris hit three 3-pointers in the first half, but this is the first we've really seen from him in this half. They need him to keep shooting.

Four fouls on Dante Milligan, who is playing well inside. Once again he is in foul trouble -- and it's coming at the worst possible time for UMass.

The 3-point shot gave UMass the early lead, but also helped OSU get right back in it.
For coach Travis Ford, he simply has to love the way Dante Milligan is playing inside. He is getting a lot of offensive rebounds and easy baskets.
UMass has to defend the 3-point shot better in the second half. OSU star Jamar Butler and Evan Turner are getting good open looks, and kncoking them down.

UMass could be close to a technical foul, the referees looks quite mad.
Something to watch for from now on, that's for sure.
But anyway, UMass has played well and should be pleased up 10.

NEW YORK - There's already a large contingent of UMass fans in Madison Square Garden for tonight's National Invitational Tournament final this evening. The game will be televised on ESPN. Though UMass is not playing for a national championships (true cynics would say that both teams are playing for 66th place), it is the school's first chance for a post-season championship.
The key matchups tonight will be between Kosta Koufos-Luke Bonner and Jamar Butler-Chris Lowe. Bonner and Koufos have a similar style of play, though the 7-foot Ohio State center has a much more refined offensive game. Both Butler and Lowe are the leaders of their respective basketball teams and much of their productivity is not reflected on the stat sheet.
Tonight's game also marks the second time that UMass and Ohio State have met in the final four of a major college sports tournament. Ohio State defeated the Minutemen in men's soccer back in December of the semifinals of the 2007 College Cup.

But the Minutemen seem to thrive on making late-game comebacks.
