Wind is blowing from the South 22 to 28 mph...don't know whether this is in or out, but should be the same for both teams! My guess is that UMHB pitchers are dealing with the wind better than Southwestern's arms are...

20-2 bottom 4th, Villegas just tripled and now has 8 RBI. The CRU are still batting in the 4th. South Wind is blowing straight out to Left.

The CTX v TLU series this weekend should be a good one with 4 of the top 12 hitters and two of the top Arms in the ASC squaring off within this match up. I think it will come down to who make the least amount of mistakes overall.

There is power in both line-ups as well as speed on the bases. Should make for some fun watching overall.

Looks like Villegas may replace the other two names on the most RBI in a game list at this rate

Trinity appears to be taking it to CTX 10-4 in the 8th. Don't know who's on the bump for either team. Audio is poor $:-\$

Dawgsdad · March 03, 2009, 05:47:08 PM

Make that now 14-4 Trinity over CTX - Trinity still batting...

umhb wins 26-7. VIllegas got pulled after a 4 for 5 day with a double short of the cycle and 8 RBIs. He grounded out with the bases loaded his 5th at bat in like the 5th or 6th inning. His replacement Michael Garza hit a homerun and had 4 or 5 RBI's as well.

Yeah it looks like Gardner doesnt have much weekday arms left after playing Desalles last night. From what I saw against Texas Weslayan the bench is not very deep for CTX this year. They fell behind in the count and made to many throwing errors. The TLU series will be some good stuff to watch. The weather sould be nice and love that area to drive through.

Trinity is in-region. DeSales is not.

Not a wise move if he used the better arms that were available versus DeSales than Trinity.

Can a CTX fan elaborate on the batteries used in those two games?

Im still wondering whats up with Wernecke. The only question I have about Concordia is whether or not they have enough pitching depth to win 4 games in a conference tourney possibly. But then again that may be the question for every team judging by the Team ERA numbers thus far.

Dawgsdad · March 03, 2009, 06:41:07 PM

I caught most of the CTX DeSales game last night and frankly DeSales looked to be the better team and especially given that they've only just got underway - last night I believe was their fourth game.

If I'm correct Towler started for CTX and was down 4-0 before the wheels came off for DeSales in the fifth, a few hits and something like three throwing errors brough CTX back to life.

Richter followed Towler and Szkotak followed Richter and was liffed early...

Szkotak, did not get lifted early - he recorded the save.

Im not sure its a valid comparison as Desales was probably pitching thier best and CTX was throwing there 6th or 7th. Im not sure whats going on with Warnecke. I know the current catching is playing great, and played a hell of a defensive game against UTD. CTX will have thier big guns ready for this weekend, but yeah they need to step up in these midweek games. The bench guys out of the pen arent on que at all.

Blackcat00,

No comparsion meant. It was the first time I've seen either team play and it was my first impressions. TLU has DeSales tomorrow afternoon in Seguin. I'm fairly sure they won't see any of TLU's top arms as they know what's at stake this weekend.

As for Warnecke, he didn't appear on the roster that was handed out last night so I can't help you explain his absence either...
