I have on best sources the actual info:

Durant left.  Not married yet, girlfriend was St. Louis.  Tyler Mott, previous OWU pitcher and standout player, and Marietta pitching coach, has accepted the head coach position. 

This is correct and current (as the fiancee is friends with Tyler Mott).

I have heard a rumor Durant has left OWU?  Does anybody know if this is true?

From OWU for the All-Tournament team we had: Steve Ruygrok, freshman catcher, AJ Dote, junior first baseman, and Joey McDaniel, junior lefty pitcher/outfielder.

GO OWU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The oddest thing for me in this whole tournament right now is the fact that all of the teams but Marietta are facing elimination tomorrow....whereas if you would have asked me after the OAC tournament if I thought Marietta would get an at-large bid I would tell you all that you were crazy....Congrats to them.  I like Otterbein...but I'm hoping that Wooster wins tomorrow because OWU has a better chance against Wooster than Otterbein, although after their first regional game...who knows.  This entire tournament is entirely too tight for guessing and no predictions are worthwhile.  If Wooster has a bad game with errors again and no bats, they're out....but if Otterbein is out of pitching...they're gone.  If OWU doesn't hit, they leave and if Hope gives an inch to the OWU team, OWU will lay 50 bunts.  Marietta is the only safe team to bet on....and really after tomorrows games....do they have enough pitching to last?  Has this been a hot streak?  Or are they just a tournament team....as evident obviously last year?  Insanity abounds!

Its a simple concession...its all thats being asked.  It was not handled properly for a group that knew they were hosting it and had the opportunities to cover their asses in this area.

Considering this tournament is bringing money in for Wooster (I'm sure), I'm n ot saying Wooster should revolve around the athletes...but maybe they should revolve around what brings them money.  A simple day change of a scheduled power outage would have been much wiser.  And even if OWU's website doesn't update as well as Wooster's....I still got my info from them first today.  ****ty.  Its not a good business plan to be missing a day of information. Supposedly "slow" or not, you can't argue with a sound business plan....and that wasn't it.

Well I'm sorry WooBoo, but I don't have the luxury of spending the entire day at Strongsville because I want to keep my job and pay my bills...so in the meantime of working, I wanted a short respite of being able to at least see live stats of the game on the website and I couldn't even get that.  I'm not bashing the sports....I'm bashing the people in charge of the power outage that took down the website.  The only thing that I don't like about any Wooster sports is that the baseball diamond is a little on the smaller end of things and thus a launch pad and sometimes makes for less interesting games.  I bitch about OWU's network all the time (and trust me, from being a student there, it sucks something hardcore) and it was just INCREDIBLY disappointing that the school hosting the regional playoff would let down so many fans by not having an option thru either their own stuff, or by what was offered to them.  How hard would it have been to accept the offer of posting live stats that was given to them?  Not hard.  If OWU had been hosting it and the website would have been down, there would have been a million people bitching this way (and its probably a damn good thing they weren't hosting because the website almost 99% would have been down).

Mature.

I wasn't bitching about Strongville....I was bitching about COW.  And considering COW was hosting, they should have links up, and they should be fully functional links for the 4-5 friggin days they have it.  Its piss poor planning on COW's part and all the teams showing up shouldn't have to provide their own feeds, it should be part of the package of hosting...and as was pointed out....they had an offer to have someone else do it, and they stupidly turned it down.....letting down MULTIPLE fans all day.  As it is, their supposed "scheduled" shutdown that was only supposed to last until 9, is still shutdown and their site is still unreachable. 

As it is.....lets hope it is fixed by noon tomorrow.

And to WooBoo....I'm not implying they did it on purpose....I'm implying they couldn't have tried harder to schedule it at an asinine time. 

I am sad Wooster has worse connection issues than OWU.  I didn't think it could get much worse, but leave it to the College of Wooster networking department to screw me over.  Hopefully they have their crap together for tomorrow's games because if I miss two games in a row, I'm going to be more than hot.  Thanks for the guys that tried to keep up with the updates...I appreciate it.  Sad that even some Wooster fans wanted to know what was happening and couldn't even get it.

I find it funny the Wooster administration picks TODAY of all days to have the power outage, leaving the website down only after Wooster plays their games....leaving the live stats updates unavailable for games 2 and 3.  NOT PLEASED.  Not only that, but of course Otterbein's audio is not working either.  Bad Wooster. BAD.

Congrats to Kyle Sherman, NCAC player of the year! 

It really was sloppy games for both teams the entire series.  Between both teams I think they had more than 20 errors.  That's embarassing for Pettorini and Durant. 

And they pushed the games back because Thursday was the last day of finals for OWU, where they usually put the most popular time-slot classes, so too many players would have been missing from the OWU bench.  Friday on the other hand was completely free for OWU.

WooBoo, it was just an odd comment, especially considering some of us used to call Kurt, "Captain Kurt" last year as we watched him launch balls. 

Previously working for the Great Lakes League too, I'm excited to see the Regionals played in Strongsville.  I may actually take time off work to come see these games.
