Nope...I do not know.  I couldn't get ahold of the guys this evening.

Augie beat Clarke yesterday 10-6....they finished up their 1st spring trip with a record of 4-2

Millikin split with Greenville yesterday

IWU plays a DH against Greenville today

NPU lost the 1st game of a DH today (10-4) vs. Franklin College

I did a little research today and found these stats on the CCIW in the National Tourneys...

Augie: 2-2
Carthage: 37-26
Elmhurst: 6-8
IWU: 9-9
Millikin: 0-0
NCC: 15-13
NPU: 11-10
Wheaton: 0-0

Overall the CCIW is 80-68(.548) at the national level. I wonder how many other conferenes stack up that well. I would assume the WIAC may and whichever conference Marrietta plays in. It would be interesting to find out.

IWU swept Greenville yesterday, 6-5 and 7-1.

North Park split a doubleheader with Franklin on Saturday and dropped a single contest to DePauw on Sunday.  The Vikings begin their spring break trip to Phoenix with a contest against Keene State College on Saturday, March 11.

Elmhurst College baseball team kicked off the 2006 season by posting a 1-0-1 record in a doubleheader against Macalester College

What was the reason for a tie? Were there not any lights? I'm surprised both coaches wouldn't have tried to continue playing the next day if that was possible.

time ran out

They only had 4 hours to play two games, at the Metrodome.

Freshman Mike Goltz (Neenah, Wis.-H.S.) got his collegiate career off to a good start, by belting a grand slam to pace the Bluejays' offense. Goltz finished 2-for-4 at the plate with the grand slam and a triple.

There are tons of strong players coming out of the Fox Valley in Wisconsin. I know Carthage had a few All-Americans from that area:

Cory Everts- Hortonville
John Zuleger- Appleton
Mark Beyer- Menasha
Dean Muthig- Clintonville
Gavin Winfield- Ripon

The Fox Valley area has always been a hotbed for baseball... Oshkosh, Carthage, Steven's Point, and Madison Tech(JUCO) always land tons of players from those towns and are usually nationally ranked programs.

The best thing to ever happen to D3 baseball in Wisconsin was for the Univ. of Wisconsin to cancel its program in 1991... all those players go unrecruited by D1s and land at small schools.(Carthage, Oshkosh, Whitewater, Steven's Point, etc...)

Couldn't agree with you more. Justin Hallock, Dave Nelson, and Eric Krull are a few of the more recent players who had great success at Carthage. Maybe not All-Americans, but all were All Conference players

Redmenfan... Are you from the Valley?

north park matching their wins from last year already, good to see they are off to a better start than previous years.  Hopefully they will win some games in the conference this year and be more competitive like they were a few years ago.

The Blue Jays end there road trip to the Metrodome at 2-1-1.

Marietta is in the Ohio Athletic Conference, which is a powerhouse circuit in all the major sports. Three OAC schools have won D3 basketball titles (current members Ohio Northern and Otterbein, and Wittenberg won theirs as an OAC member before the Tigers jumped ship and joined the NCAC), and perennial gridiron juggernaut Mount Union is also an OAC member.

NPU is going to have to tighten up their pitching. The split with Franklin was a nice start; Franklin was the preseason #1 pick in the HCAC coaches poll, and the Vikings' win in the nightcap is currently the only blot on the 6-1 season record for the Grizzlies. But NPU has given up 31 runs in their three games to date. They've also committed ten errors.
