Southern Vipers 132 for 4 (McGlashan 54*) beat Lancashire Thunder 121 for 7 (Lamb 34, Satterthwaite 31) by 11 runsScorecard The Southern Vipers made it two wins out of two in the Kia Super League as they came away from sunny Blackpool with an 11-run victory over a below par Lancashire Thunder.Despite being without their talismanic skipper Charlotte Edwards the Vipers recovered from 34 for 3 to reach 132 for 4 from their 20 overs with the score proving just enough against the slightly unlucky hosts.Having chosen to bat, the Vipers were quickly in trouble when opener Georgia Adams was bowled by the sixth ball of the innings as Hayley Matthews got one to turn sharply and hit the stumps.Captain Suzie Bates soon followed when she slapped another Matthews delivery straight to Natalie Brown at point for 15 and when Izzy Collis edged behind off Deandra Dottins first delivery, the Thunder looked to be well on top.But Sara McGlashan had other ideas as the New Zealand international steadily rebuilt the innings with the help of Arran Brindle who offered valuable support as McGlashan went through the gears after Lydia Greenway had departed for 11.McGlashan hit the one six of the innings as she slapped the unfortunate Kate Cross back over her head with the New Zealander reaching her 50 off 48 balls in the final over with Brindle remaining unbeaten on 29.The unbeaten partnership of 70 for the fifth wicket left the Vipers with a spring in their step and they carried the momentum into their bowling when Matthews departed in the first over after hitting a Morna Nielsen full toss straight at Brindle at mid-on.A topsy turvy game then swung in Thunders direction as Emma Lamb and skipper Amy Satterthwaite compiled a second-wicket partnership worth 57 before Satterthwaite picked out McGlashan on the boundary off Linsey Smith for 31.With Lamb still at the crease Thunder looked to have a chance but when she was run out for 34 going for a suicidal run after hitting the ball straight to Nielsen the game was all but up for the home side. Danielle Wyatt impressed with a 28-ball 29 as she and Laura Newton dragged Thunder to within range but with 18 required off the last over it was all but finished as Bates picked up two late wickets to finish with 2 for 20 and the hosts needing two wins from their remaining games if they are to progress.

Halfway through the season, the Big Tens quarterback carousel is still spinning.Nearly half the teams in the conference have already made QB changes for a variety of reasons -- injuries, poor play or a coach just looking to shake things up. So far, the results have been mixed.Just days after four coaches went with first-time starters, Rutgers coach Chris Ash joined the bandwagon by naming Gio Rescigno as his new quarterback Saturday against Minnesota.I thought he went out and led the offense, executed the calls, made good decisions. He still needs to be more consistent, Ash said Tuesday. I like his personality, his energy and the leadership he brings to the offense.Perhaps Rutgers move should have been expected after losing four straight and being outscored 174-14.Other coaches, with fewer problems, have made similar decisions.Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst benched fifth-year senior Bart Houston in favor of redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook less than a month ago. Hornibrook has lost two straight -- to No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan -- since winning at Michigan State and the Badgers are still ranked No. 10.Minnesota got its first conference win behind former walk-on Conor Rhoda, who was 7 of 15 for 82 yards against Maryland filling in for injured starter Mitch Leidner (concussion). Leidner could miss Saturdays game against Rutgers, too. The Terrapins lost with Tyrrell Pigrome, who replaced Perry Hills (shoulder). Its not clear if Hill will return this weekend.At Illinois, first-time starter Chayce Crouch replaced Wes Lunt (back) and helped new Illinois coach Lovie Smith celebrate his first conference win by beating Rutgers.The most shocking decision may have come from Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, who started Brian Lewerke over Tyler OConnor on Saturday then brought OConnor back in the third quarter of a 54-40 loss to Northwestern.That change didnt help much as the defending Big Ten champs head to Maryland witth a four-game skid and a starting quarterback still to be named.dddddddddddd.Well see how the practices work out this week. Well make some determinations as we go, sort of go from there, Dantonio said. It will probably be more of a game time decision.Just to keep everyone on their toes.Here are some other notable items around the Big Ten:MORE CHANGESPurdue interim coach Gerad Parker got thrown right into his new role Tuesday. First, he took questions from local reporters before participating in the conferences weekly coaches call. This is going to take the 35-year-old, first-time head coach a little getting used to.I know our administration didnt see some things they wanted to from our staff, he said, explaining the firing of Darrell Hazell. Its been a different situation for our staff and our players and a weird situation for me.FILLING IN THE LINESThe Big Ten has 10 bowl tie-ins and the lines are already starting to fill up. The Buckeyes, Wolverines and No. 8 Nebraska all became bowl-eligible last weekend. If Iowa protects its home field against the Badgers this weekend, the Hawkeyes would join the list. Four other teams -- Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State and Wisconsin -- can all move within one win of becoming bowl-eligible with victories Saturday.ROAD MAGICThe Hawkeyes broke the school record for consecutive road wins (nine) last weekend. In fact, all six conference games were won by the visiting team -- the first time that has happened since Nov. 7, 2009. And this weekend at Penn State, Ohio State can break the Big Ten record for most consecutive road wins in conference play. With the win at Wisconsin, Ohio State tied the mark set by Michigan (17) from 1988-92.---Online:College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---This story has been corrected to show Illinois defeated Rutgers.
