<description><![CDATA[It's safe to say Jacquie Joseph and the MSU softball team are hungry to get back to action in today's doubleheader against Ohio State. The Spartans (21-18 overall, 7-4 Big Ten) have not played a game in more than a week after a handful of weather-related cancellations. Since last Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Notre Dame, a home tilt with Toledo the next day was rained out and when the team flew to Minnesota last weekend, the whole three-game series was cancelled because of a snow storm.<br />]]></description>
