when was the last time a 1 seed went 2 and out? I thinks its been a good while.  I know the first seed has the "advantage" of playing a team who has played already but, the real advantage went to the teams who got second and third.  Methodist had to play winless greensboro, and Shenandoah played AU.  I would personally take my chances with my number one against a far lower seeds number 1 instead of playing a better team throwing their number 2.  I know it worked out well for my team, but I still don't see the fairness in this tournament set up.  But what's done is done so GO CAPTAINS!!!

Does anyone remember how tie breakers are determined come tournament time? I understand it is a little ways away but you have to think there will be some sort of tie with all the teams right now sporting compatible records.

I also liked the 3 game series, but as this board has discussed many times before it almost hurts the conference in getting atlarge regional bids.  We are almost beating up on each other.  The regular season really means nothing in the conference so to roll the ball out for another game in conference only shows you are better than that team that weekend/ regualr season.  The tournament is where the champion is crowned.  I like the 3 game series but I think it is best for the conference to stay at a 2 game series just to get better regional representation.

As of now its really good weather in Newport News, weather.com says the rain will hold off until 4 so we should be able to get one game in today.  As for sunday thats another story, the only thing we really have going for us on sunday is that its only like a 30-40% chance of rain but who knows. GO CAPTAINS!!!

I am really impressed with the conference batting averages so far. For the worst batting average to be .265 thats pretty darn good. Thats not a slap in the face to NCWC either they run a good program down there and are always competive no matter what.  But wow, if I were a team comming in to play anyone from the USA South I would a little worried after seeing how well everyone is swinging it thus far.

Does any one on here know how Kivett is doing? I know he transfered a few years back but I have not heard much on him since then

ok well then how are you comparing CNU and AU over the past few seasons? Because CNU lost a few games to CNU and AU last season?

As for last year CNU also made the regional tournament for the second straight year, when was the last time Averett did that? If you had any baseball knowledge you would know that any team can beat any one on any given day.  Yes Averette did beat CNU last year, but they also lost to them on the same day.  If your comparing CNU and AU then you have to look at how far they made it last year. On another note, Im not going to say SU was a bad team last year, because they could hit the dog piss out of the baseball,  but they are living proof that the best team every year doesnt win, its all about who gets hot at the right time.  Any team could lose every game in the regular season and win the conference tournament and go to regionals win that and see themselves playin the the world series. 

Agreed great win for CNU!!! Looks like CNU had a solid day from their outfield Shannon Mark, Drue Vernon, and Connor Madden tallied 8 of CNU's 13 hits!!! They also looked very solid defensivly all the way around
Obviously losing Eric Cole and Mike Giarrizzi was a big loss for CNU, but these three have stepped right in and done a good job

I know that it is very early but it is nice to see players stepping up in places that were filled by big players in CNU's success the past few years
GO CAPTAINS!!!

just drove by captains park and the wind wasnt blowing straight out again, so hopefully some of those big flys will stay in the park today

hopefully cnu can turn it around today with a rematch against rmc!!!

Im not completely sure but I believe he was at a D1 school before he came to CNU, I think it was Cincinnati.  I think thats what i originally heard when he came to CNU.

I dont know if anyone on here knows the answer to this but i have been wondering for quite some time now.  Why dont they do pre season all conference awards? I know division 1 schools do and i was wondering why d3 schools dont.
