BB: ASC: American Southwest Conference

[Ralph Turner]

I believe that mileage should be considered when the bus trip is more than 6 hours, and maybe even more than 4-5 hours.  I think that is why the ASC is one of the tougher conferences in the country from that perspective.  Everywhere we go in the country in the post season is a long trip away.

Maybee not this year as the regionals will be in Texas.

UTD beats UTT in a pitchers duel 2-1.

UTD beats UTT in a pitchers duel 2-1.

UTT is going to have to clean up the defense a little if they want to win those types of games. Good game, just a little sloppy.

Pretty small sample size of games in D3 so I'm sure some of these hot starts will level off and others will emerge, but should give some of you ASC fans a quick glimpse as who's performing well thus far as ASC divisional play progresses.

Thanks for posting love to see who is doing what in a conference. Two things that stand out:

1. No players from CTX.
2. I would not want to be down a run to TLU in the 9th. Sean Kistler looks like a beast.

CUA = CTX so Schaekel is represented.

Check out my west regional rankings to see where I stand on Concordia. They're definitely a top 4 team in the ASC despite their bumps so far this year. I think Rupert and Ullmann are both solid arms (my jury of 1 is still out on Garwood), but their stats just didn't stand out the same way as the guys listed above. Unfortunately, I don't get to see as many games as I used to so I'm overly reliant on stats, which don't ever tell the whole story.

Brunnemann at Hardin Simmons looks equally as tough.

UTT sweeps Saturday DH to take the series from UTD, 5-1 and 3-2.

UTT is struggling against Ozarks. Ozarks belted the UTT pitching staff last night in an 8-5 win with the Tyler pitchers giving up 7 runs in one inning. Today is another slug fest. UTT jumped out to an 8-3 lead but once again their pitching staff got knocked around and Ozarks tied the game. UTT came back and now has a 12-8 lead in the bottom of the 8th but they are not pitching like a ranked team. They have given up 16 runs in two games to a team that has lost more games than they have won.  Makes me wonder just how good UTT really is. We will see but the way they are playing 4 runs might not hold up.

Yesterday's game two starter was making his first start of the season. I guess the coaching staff didnt want to pitch their normal game two guy on two days less rest, Then the starter went out after the first with a sore arm today. He came into the game with a 1.16 ERA. Hopefully they can get him healthy. Game one starter didnt allow an earned run on Thursday, allowing only 5 singles and two unearned runs in a complete game 8-2 win. I do agree with you though. The Patriots did not play like a ranked team this weekend. At least they salvaged the series win. They havent lost a series this year.

UOz won game 3 of the LaCollege series to prevent the sweep. That put a big hurt on LaCollege, who could have won the #1 seed by winning the UTT series next weekend. Now LaCollege must sweep.

Congratulations to ETBU. They can make the playoffs by winning game against UTD next weekend.

Texas Lutheran completed the 3-game sweep of Hardin Simmons this weekend to clinch their 9th ASC west championship.

UTT swept LeTourneau to go to 29-8

[Ralph Turner]

Congratulations to ETBU on making the post-season tourney.
They can clinch the #3 seed by beating UTD one game tomorrow.
