Watched my first game in two years yesterday!!  Soo happy to see the boys back on the field.  Looking forward to seeing more SCIAC baseball.

Sciac 2021 schedule:

Matches up with what Mr. Parkman posted.

For those of us who are parents, fans, or players with the 5 LA County schools, this is truly maddening.

Edit - 6.

Its really rough watching everyone else play right now. 

Yes, it really is.  At least you have a couple more years to look forward to, if I'm not mistaken.  I thought I had one. My son is a senior and was all set to return and play as a grad student.  But last week he got a job offer that is too good to refuse.  I'm not happy about his baseball career being over. The fact that he'll be making a f-ton of money starting his professional career at a great company makes me feel better, but still.... it sucks.

I'm still hoping they'll find a way to put together a couple of games in April, but that's probably just a delusion on my part.

Sorry about that, I truly feel for the 20/21 Sr class.  Not the way its supposed to go down.  Luckily my son does have two years left but I can already tell its just not the same.  His attitude has completely changed.  With everything that has happened I think he was forced to see the end of baseball before it really happened.  We'll see how it goes...I'm looking fwd to seeing him on the field again...and savor every second of it.

Dang, What about the other schools?

Looks like Chapman, La Verne & Redlands are going to try and play.  Basically, the non LA teams.  However, there are some steps that need to be taken and Id be surprised if they even get to play.  I forgot the exact plan but its something like...3wks of quarantine, 3 wks of small groups, 3wks whole team/big group, 3 weeks of team scrimmages.  If someone gets COVID, they must quarantine for 10-14 days, be symptom free and also pass an EKG.

I had not heard this info, so thanks.  But like Oxy, PP, CMC, Whittier & Caltech, La Verne is in Los Angeles county, which is not letting college students on campus yet.  Cal Lu is in Ventura County and I think they have a few students on campus and may even be practicing.  Chapman is in Orange County, which has been more reluctant to impose restrictions. Redlands is in San Bernardino county, which is slightly less impacted than LAC so they may have a shot. Considering their national rankings I will not be surprised if Cal Lu and and Chapman do anything and everything they can to cobble together some kind of season that could qualify them for postseason play.

You're right, I think I mixed up Cal Lu and La Verne.

Not unexpected but its official that Oxy will not have Varsity Sports this Spring.

One of my sons teachers today told him today they had a teacher conference and were told they are not going back to campus in the Spring.  I guess we'll have to wait for the official confirmation, but that does not bode well for athletics.

Anybody hearing anything?

I know that the SCIAC did a Zoom a couple weeks ago and said basically we want to play but we'll see what happens.

From what we have heard from my son's school's president, if the county permits on-campus residence and instruction, they will find a way to play some sort of season for spring sports.

But that's a big if, particularly in LA county, especially right now as cases skyrocket.

Maybe if Ventura, Orange and San Bernardino counties allow colleges to open, Redlands, Chapman, and Cal Lu can have their own little conference without the LA County schools.

We've heard nothing other than they want/hope to play.  Like you said, it might be really hard to get the go-ahead from LA county.  I was hoping these smaller schools could come up with a creative way to get it done but I'm really not all that optimistic at this point.

Nick Garcia is the 79th overall pick by Pittsburgh.  I am sure many hitters in the SCIAC are happy to see him gone.

I would expect Nolan McCarthy to sign as a free agent shortly after the draft.

Garcia signed for $1.2 million and his catcher, Joe Jimenez, signed with Pittsburgh as a free agent.

Surprised McCarthy didn't get a chance from someone as the financial impact is minimal.

Jiminez signed before MILB was cancelled but for the most part I'm guessing that MLB has stopped signing free agents.  What's the point of adding players now?

Maybe Jiminez was signed primarily to work out with Garcia.

As for McCarthy, I guess he can stay in shape and hope for next year, or find a graduate opportunity, or move on.

I think I heard he had a really nice job lined up.  I'll have to confirm.

Also, Tom Butler is expected to be coming back.  He's very close to a double major so he'll finish that and get to play again.

Has anyone heard of any Sr's that will come back for another year?

I wouldn't expect a lot of Seniors to return for various reasons.  I listened to a podcast with Laverty and he said they had 7 Seniors on this years team and none of them will be back.

Which podcast?

Has anyone heard of any Sr's that will come back for another year?

NESCAC has canceled all spring sports.  I suspect that we are not far behind.

The Claremont Colleges (ie Pomona-Pitzer and CMS) have cancelled in person classes for the foreseeable future, telling students to stay home after spring break. https://tsl.news/coronavirus-covid-19-classes-canceled-online-claremont/?fbclid=IwAR1E2wpb4FK7UKTuzGUoTDCgOrPC0hAGCaITBcgMbkcKWan77Gil3urVIMk

Have to assume we'll get word of SCIAC suspending spring sports indefinitely in the imminent future.

Yep, no chance the SCIAC continues playing this year. I guess Cal Lu is crowned National Champs again!

Yes, it would seem #1 at time of cancellation is Champion.
That's what they do with Conference champions, but not sure 🤔 if they do that with National??  Or this year had no champion?

Technically, Oxy was undefeated in conference play....lol

NCAA has given spring students an extra year of eligibility.  In the SCIAC, I cant imagine many (if any) Sr's coming back to play.  If going to grad school, I can imagine some trying to walk on/try out.
