The Webster/Greenville game is currently in a RAIN DELAY!!! The Gorloks are trailing 2-1 with two out and nobody on in the bottom of the fourth inning. No decision has been made about when the game with resume. It's still a chance the game could start tonight .... check back to www.websterathletics.com or www.sliac.org for more updates.

Regional rankings are great ... but like has been said numerous times, if Webster wins the SLIAC tournament they are in, regardless of regional rankings ... my apologies about twitter ... its www.twitter.com/JA_daPrince

If we can get internet access at Glik Park, you can follow the SLIAC tournament on my twitter site .... www.twitter.com/JAdaPrince

FYI ... to keep everyone in the loop ... If we can get internet access at Glik Park, the entire SLIAC tournament will be live stats .... Stay tuned for an update

Need we remember that Webster defeated Illinois Wesleyan head to head, so the thought of IWU being ahead of Wash U cuz of its head to head win, should hold some weight when discussing Webster and IWU.

But hey, when teams are this evenly matched, does it really matter what seed you receive. The only difference could be the top seed, but other than that 2-6 are is a crap shoot. Regardless of what number is before the team name, the competitive factor will still be the same.

Providing Webster handles its business in the SLIAC tournament, the Blackburn victory helps the Gorloks immensely. After trailing the Titans for second place in the region, WU could hop up and take the second seed. The top seed could be possible if neither Carthage or IWU claims the CCIW.

But, the Gorloks shouldn't focus too far ahead. They are three wins away from qualifying for Regionals.

Poll:

Does anyone think that Maryville, FU, or GC actually has a chance to beat Webster.  Webster's victories during the regular season against almost everyone were SOOO lopsided.  I wonder if the postseason will be any different.  I'd like to see some competitive action rather than just Webster marching their way easily to the regional.  Back in the 05 and 06 season, I know Webster/Blackburn and Webster/Greenville had some thrilling SLIAC tournament games.  I'm hoping we can see one of the other three teams play at their highest level of the season and give Webster a run for their money.

In the world of sports, anything is possible.

I don't think the regionals, whether 6-team or 8-team is predetermined. It all depends on the tournament team make-up and the travel needed ....

Augustana Regional (my guess)
SLIAC Champ
IIAC Champ
MWC Champ
CCIW Champ
WIAC runner up
Wash U

Player of the Year: Fuiten ... I don't think there is any debate to it. Yes, Biagini has but up solid numbers. Most of which has been of late though. I know classification shouldn't mean much, but Fuiten is a senior and Biagini is a freshman. In addition, you usually have to be head and shoulders above the reigning Player of the Year to unseat them.

Pitcher of the Year: That is very difficult to me ... One you have Bryce Law. He has been spectacular lately. You can point to the numbers 4-0, 0.68 ERA. He has made three starts, and two of which have been complete games ... Two, there is Will Savage, who has been the "ace" of the Webster staff all season ... He is 6-0 and 1 save with a 1.29 ERA ...Three, there is Bryan "The Hawk" Stanley .... It seems like he is always coming out of the 'pen is a key situation for the Gorloks. It can be said that Stanley is as important as any member of the pitching staff. His numbers are impressive as well, 5-0, 1.50 ERA .... DRUM ROLL PLEASE ...... Will Savage

IT'S OFFICIAL: The Webster baseball team has finished the SLIAC regular season unbeaten.

It's nice that everyone is discussing Webster's ability to hit the baseball, but let's not lose track of the Gorloks' pitching. The staff has a 2.66 ERA in conference and just a shade over 4 overall. If the pitching can stay consistent, then Webster will have a great chance to be successful.

Webster lost 16 to 15 to wash u. Andrew fuiten hit 2 more home runs so congratulations to him. He's coming close to the previous record Set by himself last year

Andrew Fuiten now has 11 HR, one away from the single-season mark he set last season. He also needs 10 RBI to tie the single-season mark of 54 he set last season.

The Gorloks scored 12 runs in the last three innings and had the tying run at third in the 9th inning.

Wow that's a lot of baseball for one day. How many games until Webster can clinch? Anyone know?

The Webster Magic Number stands at ONE!!!! The next win or Maryville loss and the Gorloks will have secured the top seed in the 2009 SLIAC Tournament.

Inclement weather is continuing to wreck havoc on the schedules ... Webster will play TWO nine inning games Tuesday. They will host MacMurray 4 p.m. Tuesday, then play Maryville at 7 p.m.
