UTT is starting to separate itself a bit form the rest of the west region...

UTD 7 UTT 2.  Box score to follow.  (I did not see who got the decisions.)

UTT still has a big series vs Mississippi College coming up later on this season.  It is the final conference series of the season for UTT and will be at Irwin Field in Tyler.  At the moment, MC has stayed with UTT and is only 1 game back in the East (7-2 vs 6-3).  MC still has ETBU and Ozarks on the schedule before UTT, while the patriots have LeT and LC before MC.  It stands to reason that UTT might be somewhere around 12-3 coming into that series while MC could be 11-4.  Obviously, I think UTT has the edge for that series, but it could make for a very interesting final week of the regular season.

The west side wont be won or lost till the end of the season either...too many teams bunched up still.

It was out of conference, but MC split at Emory this weekend. We won the opener 13-4, then dropped the second 7-5.

UTD 7 UTT 2.  Box score to follow.  (I did not see who got the decisions.)

Tommy Rozell got the loss for UTT and Damion Chelakis got the win for UTD

I was poking around the statistics at the UTT site.  Brett Holland is 6-3 with around a 2.5 era....hes not getting very much run support.

Hard to believe but 3/4 of the regular season is over - only 10 games left over the next 3 weeks for most teams in the ASC. Most will find their season over by the 18th of April. For the 8 teams that qaulify for the conference tournament they get to play at least the following week or two if they make it past the first round.

DIII baseball limits the regular season to 40 games. I wish it was more.

UMHB wins today 5-1. Some nice clutch batting out of the lineup.

Jared Hopper pitched the complete game, 3 hitter, 0 Earned runs, and 13 strikeouts.

UTT beat LTU today 12-6 Lex Wolfe got the win working 6 2/3rds and gave up all the runs and 11 hits. Not a great day but a workman like performance. UTT did not use Zigler today as they had a 5-0 lead after 1 and did not look back. They go to 8-2 in the East and 25-6 overall.

[Ralph Turner]

McM freshman Matt Thompson pinch-hit a bases-loaded, one-out SAC FLY to centerfield to score Tre Lips to beat CTX 2-1.

CTX starter Matt Coburn pitched 8.2 inning and struck out 14 to take the loss.

McM's Cody Martin went 8.2 and was relieved by Dakota Smith who got the win.

Mississippi College takes series opener, 11-3
April 3, 2009 -- ETBU was held to just five hits and Mississippi College broke open a close game with four runs in the sixth inning on the way to an 11-3 win at Woods Field Friday night. The series concludes Saturday with a doubleheader starting at noon.

MC stays only one game back of UTT and is now 7-3 on the season in the east.

ETBU has had a serious downward trend in their team since 2005.  That year, i believe they won the east side and hosted the tournament, only to lose the championship to TLU.  I forgot who their coach was then, but he ended up leaving after that season, and the team hasnt been very competitive since.  It is sad to see a program tank like that and it really hurts the ASC east when one of the teams that was competitive just drops out basically. 

Anyhow, I am sure that MC will sweep ETBU and UTT should handle LetU the same way.  The big showdown is coming up.  Things are shaping up to be very interesting during the final weeks.
