My apologies about Franco. I thought he was a senior last year. Hopefully, for McMurry's sake, he can stay healthy this year and not have to deal with those freak injuries.

Sul Ross drops their first two games of the season yesterday.

Any predictions on the Chapman/McMurry series this weekend?

Oddly, this is already a HUGE in-region series for Chapman after dropping two of three to Whittier over the weekend.

Was Kitchens' outing a sign of things to come or just a bump in the road?

How will McMurry respond to the loss of National Player of the Year, Derek David?

I am counting on pitching and defense.

Will be interesting to see how this series plays out.

There are some other very interesting match ups this weekend with Tyler, UT Dallas, Concordia, and Trinity playing a mini-tournament.

UMHB plays Southwestern in a double header tomorrow as well with Southwestern returning most of their team from last year.

I saw the proposed location of the field at CTX on Saturday.

The light standards have been erected. I was told that was easier than storing them.

The field is on the top of a hill, so I can imagine that the south wind blowing in may make it less of a hitter's park, if the fences are decent distances. You might get a crosswind to blow from right to left. I could not tell exactly the "azimuth" for the right field fair/foul line.

UMHB drops game one to Southwestern 6-0. Game two is about to start.

UMHB wins Game 2 8-1. More details to come.

I feel that Chapman after lost the Indian killer (Kurt Yacko) that MCM has a good chance of taking this series. It will be hard for MCM to feel gaps from the srs. that left last year. But I will give MCM the series 2 of 3 from Chapman.

It looks like it should be a good series too watch. Last year Chapman took the series with 2 games. BUT they were close:

Game 1 - Chapman 14 Yacko pitched 3 inning
McMurry 12

Game 2 - McMurry 5
Chapman 2 Yacko pitched 2.2

Game 3 - Chapman 7 Yacko pitched 1.2
McMurry 6

Kitchens did not play in the series last year. And with David gone who knows what will happen. YET he didn't have too many RBI's against them... it looks like Morris is the guy that they need to watch.

It really makes this an exciting game to watch. Wish I could be there

** fixed typo on first game **

Chapman vs McMurry series starts on Friday....

Lets see if Chapman can bounce back from last weekend.

Will Chapmans bats stay hot and defense solid ?

Will Kitchens bounce back ? Will other Chapman pitchers be able to hold leads or keep the runs scored down....

Should be a great series.....

mcmguy19 · February 06, 2009, 09:40:46 AM

MCM did get alot of recruits in that will fill in for David. He is a hard act to follow with 26 hrs and tons of rbi's and such. This mcm team is young but has the talent to make a run at the SERIES!!
