Beloit wins against North Central today 5-3.  Both teams threw their whole pen.  Good out of conference win to brush up right before conference...should be a hell of a weekend.

Solid win for Beloit... devastaing loss for NCC.

According to the CCIW website, they were supposed to play two games. I wonder why they didn't?

I'm pretty sure both coaches agreed to play only 1 game to save pitching, since both teams have their conference tournament in the next few days.

ahh I got confused with the first paragraph, didn't sound like you were changing what you said...have to admit i just kind of skimmed the last paragraph.

But I agree about the playoff rule.  There shouldn't have to be a extra game involve when it is this close to the tournament, no time to rest pitching.  The last thing most teams need is to use arms.  I don't get why there isn't a tie breaker beyond head to head record.

Thats not how it works, we would have played a playoff game monday.  It was all scheduled for Ripon to come to beloit.  That is what the league mandated that game and it was chosen to be played at beloit because of a coin flip.

Ripon loses both today vs. St. Norbert.  Beloit will host the MWC tournament.

Also, Beloit swept Carroll while Ripon went 3-1, so the logic of winning one more game against an opponent doesn't make sense.

nope...if Ripon and Norbert split there will be a one game playoff game at 4pm on Monday @Beloit to determine the host and top seed.

Norbert also won the first game today.

Yah i guess that is probably true...but we still made noise.

MWC North Standings Through May 1st
Beloit 12-4
Ripon 9-3
St. Norbert 6-4
Carroll 3-9
Lawrence 0-12

Beloit clinches MWC Tournament as their isn't anyway both Ripon and St. Norbert can finish ahead of them since they play four head-to-head games next weekend.

Again....bigpoppa.  Can I say "I told you so"

No one thinks that Beloit will make any noise?

Beloit lost a ton from 2010. I don't see them filling those holes unless I am mistaken. They were a senior dominated line-up last year and not many underclassmen got considerable reps.

Big Pappa...am I allowed an "I told you so"?

norbert is acually 4-2

Beloit swept @ Carroll today winning the first game 10-7 and the second game 17-4.  They will finish up their series on Monday @ Beloit.  St. Norbert and Lawrence play doubleheaders monday and tuesday because of all the snow they got I'm assuming...isn't it April??

Beloit finished off a 4 game sweep of Lawrence yesterday.  Winning 14-2 and 17-6.  Important series coming up this weekend against Ripon to see who can put themselves in a good position to make the playoffs.

Beloit did lose some great seniors but this year's team is also going to have a lot of upperclassmen who actually have gotten a significant amount of PT.  In addition there are some guys who weren't able to get playing time behind our graduated seniors who have a lot of talent.  the 4 seniors Beloit lost didn't account all of the talent on that team.  I think Beloit should still be at least in the conversation.
