Has this new page been started yet for the new conference? also where can i find the pre season poll?
Thanks, and go SPARTANS

I would like to Congratulate Scott Evosevich, 2nd team All American pitcher. Congrats Scott you deserve it. You have had 4 great years at Carthage. See you Labor Day???

I would like to Congratulate Aaron Thor for the good years I had with him in my playing days, and the many runs he saved for me with this glove and arm. The biggest one being in the 2004 world series turning a  double play to end the game. As of yesterday he is now a 1st team All American shortstop. Congrats Thor you deserve it. Good luck boys!!!

Congrats AU Good Luck in Appleton!!!!!

Just wanted to see if there were any teams that have finished the Regional yet?

Congrats to Aurora on the win. Good luck the rest of the way

Thanks, It looks like AU will be making the Championship series, they beat Millsaps 8-6 in game one and they are up 11-2 going into the bottom of the 4th   and Chapple is on the mound!

Scheduled for 1 p.m. I wonder if Aurora has thrown their top 2 pitchers. Jacob Husing was Carthage's 2 all year, so hopefull he can get it done tomorrow!

I would have to say that AU really doesn't have a 1 or 2, they have 2 Aces.    Between Chapple and Salter they would be anybody's ace.  And they are both going to be waiting to see another day. I was able to coach those guys for a year; Chapple can easily come back and pitch today if they need him. However, Salter would probably upset the Yankees if he bounced back and threw on no rest. AU still has a sleeper on the bench in Hutten.  He is the only senior pitcher that went from 45+ innings per year to 18 this season. He's a gamer so I don't know what his deal has been this season. I know he's one of 3 pitchers on that team that have pitched in big games. (Baseball Championship Series) and Hutten received 1 of the 2 wins AU recorded on their way to a 3rd place finish in 2004. I'm going to say this is going to be a great game at 1 o'clock.     GO SPARTANS

yesterday AU 9 Wash Univ 3

they are playing Millsaps today at 4 pm

The preseason top 2 D3 prospects in the country going head to head. GO SPARTANS

5 for 6 is what the web page says with 7 RBI's sounds like a good day to me!!!!  Im still hoping for an AU vs Carthage Final!!!!

If Aurora plays like they did last year they will be in trouble. If they come out and play like they did in 04 with the pitching they have they will be able to go a long way. They averaged about 14 runs a game in the regional then. Makes pitching really easy when you do that.

Good Luck SPARTANS!!!

Well with the way Chapple and Salter pitched in the conference tourney they should be fired up for some good games in the regional. Both need to have bounce back appearances. They are lucky to have received the at large, now hopefully they can do something with that. I would love to see another AU Carthage Championship game. Go Spartans.

We went with Dusty Reid instead of Danny Grybash in the first game in Mississippi in 2003. Needless to say we didn't win! Dusty pitched a hell of a game but the mindset was never the same after losing the opener.

You go with your best and the rest will fall into place. I covered HS baseball for the Daily Herald for 15 years and it completely amazed me every year in the IHSA playoffs when HS coaches would think they could sneak by the first game by using someone other than their number one!

BIG mistake at every level!

You keep dancing by dancing with the one that brung ya!

What is Dusty doing today? Last time I saw him was at a MLB Scouting Bureau tryout. any clue?

Hey thank you very much. I appreciate it.
