If that left a mark then what does a sweep do?!  Because Wilmington took game 2 by a 2-1 count to bring the brooms out on Ott!  Wow.  I said after the Mount DH I wasn't overly impressed with Ott's lineup, but 2 runs all day today?  That's not good.  And getting swept by Wilm is going to be VERY hard to overcome. 

And poor ONUalum is going to be shaking his head at those unearned runs in game 2 against Berg.  2 errors result in 3 unearned runs in the 6th when Berg took a 6-4 lead.

What a day... what a day!  Errors... my lord.  I coach JV High School Baseball... we are averaging 6 errors per game... reminds me of when I pitched for the Polar Bears! 

I don't know what to say.. it feels like deja vu!

Im personally proud of the ONU guys who bounced back from a tough 5-1 loss where Price struck out 9 batters and ONU's errors came through again (4), and put up 5 in the 8th and 9th of the second game.  I think it will take time, but the new coach seems to have things going in the right direction. 

MC will sweep ONU, but I think Price will hopefully give Marietta hitters problems.  I would be a bit surprised if the Pioneers would throw their 1-2 combo vs ONU considering they have Mount Union coming up.  ONU should be an easy sweep using their 3-4 or even a spot starter...  Just my 2 cents from a coaching standpoint

Mount will more than likely sweep Ott.

I bet BW and Musky will split as well.  BW is tough, but they have played an easy schedule so far.  I think Musky will be able to take one.

Berg easily destroys Wilmington.

JCU sweeps Cap.

Marietta defeated Montclair State 5-0 behind a solid pitching performance from Brian Gasser who went 6 innings.  Logan Lewis was solid in defeate pitching the final three innings and picking up the save.  (Still no Kyle Linquist who was in street clothes at the game on Sunday.)  Offense was spotty, never really getting anything going.  The one thing which stood out for the Pioneers on Sunday was their defense.  These kids can really flash some leather and will rarely make bad mistakes. 
Marietta travels to Delaware, Ohio on Tuesday for a key in-region matchup with OWU, has a home game on Wednesday against Frostburg State (who was a participant in the mideast regional last year) before hosting ONU on Saturday to open conference play.  Good slate of games for the Pioneers this week.

Am I allowed to hope that they don't flash so much leather on Saturday?  lol  My Polar Bears need some help!

ONU beat Urbana U Saturday by a final score of 10-6. 

Still plagued by the error bug, they tallied 3 more errors vs the Blue Knights.  I think first year coach Gene Stechschulte is trying to score more runs than the other team and hope for not too many errors. 

This is Bergman's last recruiting year- which means next years freshman will be Stechschulte's.  I hope the team starts to turn around in the coming years!  From all of the guys I have talked to on the team, they say Stechschulte is a great on field manager, but needs work outside of game days. 

Overall-  I am happy with what I am seeing from the Polar Bears- even though their record is not that great, they may be better (fingers crossed) in the near future!

Down go the Polar Bears again... to Bluffton this time.  It has to be rough for the first year coach to take.  Bright spots yesterday had to be Hampshire- 3 doubles, and Belliveau- 1 HR 4 RBIs.

The Bears started strong, leading 4-2 after 5.  Bryce Sedio had a rough game on the hill- going only 1/3 of an inning and allowing 4 hits and 4 runs. 

The Northern defense was once again disappointing, as they allowed 4 errors. 

That makes 39 errors in only 13 games.....  Its rough to keep listening to these games!

I wish more fans would stand up and put their foot down in college programs.  It is refreshing to see that one of the better teams in the nation does it.  Hopefully more will follow!  Good for him!

ONU struggled yesterday with their known enemy, themselves!  It seems like yearly, ONU's defensive struggles continue to wipe out their chances of winning.  It also doesn't help when you only put up one run, but 4 errors is quite unacceptable. 

Albion walked into their second victory of the season.  ONU drops to 3-6 overall.

Seemed like Matt Magni (onu SP) pitched very well for 5 innings before tiring after 75 pitches.  Pitching in Ada is a bit different than pitching in Florida!
