I agree with that mideastfan...Knowing coach p tho, wooster wont have any trouble getting up for these games and I kow they have been keeping sharp over the past couple weeks.  I agree with them not having played a meaningful game in awhile but when its game time, no doubt they will be ready to go.

Obviously Mcdowell has been named the Ace ever since midway through last year, but Barnes is 100% equally as good and has actually been pitching slightly better then Mcdowell down the stretch.  This isnt that big of question since both of these guys can easily be the #1 guy.  Im sure McDowell will throw game 1 but then another #1 guy in Barnes will go in game 2

The NCAA committee didnt really think this through at all it seems like.  How could they possibly allow a team to only win 3 games to win the regional...just doesnt make any sense

So Marietta has a preview of the first day of the tournament atleast and it says heidelberg will play the winner of the 4/5 game at 8pm on wednesday night.  So i guess that counts as a bye but will still have to use their #1 on the first day

So how does this 7 team regional work...does heidelberg get a bye?

Looking good for the scots...up 8-1 in the 7th

is anyone else getting an error when they click on the live stats today?

From my experience the first regional rankings on D#baseball.com really dont mean anything.  I can guerentee you that JCU doesnt even make a regional if they dont win the OAC.  I also realistically think that unless someone other then marietta or heidelberg wins the OAC, those will be the only 2 to make a regional.  Maybe its just because Im a Wooster fan, but if wooster wins this NCAC tournament, there is no doubt in my mind that they should be the #1 seed in the regional.

As far as the POY is concerned, I absolutely agree that Matthew Johnson should be a very strong candidate.  He should have it locked up in the NCAC, but should also win the national POY in my opinion.  Of course I dont know to much about other players on other teams, but its hard to argue with Johnson's numbers.

doesnt look like the wabash pitchers faired much better then the Hiram pitchers tonight...Nice start for the scots this post season

I think thats expected in the first game of the tournament...both teams dont know what to expect and are very cautious to not make the first mistake.  Looks like the hitting is starting to pick up a little in the 6th

I think we can all agree that no one is praising wooster because they swept Hiram...however there are many other reasons why wooster is the favorite to win the NCAC, but no team should be taken lightly as we saw wabash win game 1 against wooster last year.

Agreed...All of these players have great stats, but i believe the deciding factor should be if any of these players can lead their team to the world series

I have played there before and it is a very nice facility with plenty of seating.  Also, the entire field is turf...including the batters box and pitchers mound.

Wooster has moved up to #3 in the new D3baseball .com rankings.  Looks like they are peaking just at the right time.

Are there any live stats for the wooster/allegheny game?
