BB: ASC: American Southwest Conference

[dbat]

Wow what a wacky weekend.  Again it goes to show that some teams just can't be taken for granite.  All in all this weekend might be a momentum swing or killer for the top 6.

An amazing job by Ozarks so far this season.  To think they are in the playoff race after graduating their top two pitchers/hitters.

[Ralph Turner]

McM 5, HPU 4.  Top of the 7th.  
Davis in for Dakota Smith.  Smith gave up 4 earned runs on 5 hits with 3 walks and 3 K's.

Top of the HPU 7th...  no runs, one hit, one man left on base.

Final McMurry 5 HPU 4.  Dakota Smith gets the win. Cory Davis, the save and Will Hood takes the loss for the Jackets.

Hood gave up 5 runs all earned, on 7 hits with 1 BB and 1 K in 6 innings.

The 9 inning game will follow.

game one was UMHB 6 Concordia 1. This is a huge game three for these two teams.

[Ralph Turner]

McM 8, HPU 2, thru 6, on a single, double, SacFly, Sac Fly, double and single
in the McMurry bottom of the 6th.  3 runs, 4 hits 1 LOB.

#3 Starter Chris Semchenko is on the mound going to the 7th.

Beautiful weather in Abilene.

McM 8-2 at the 7th inning stretch.

HPU scores 2 in the top of the 8th. Semchenko is relieved by LHP Jordan Brown, who gets the third out by K.  McMurry 8-4 going to the bottom of the 8th.

[EDIT] McM Quarterback Jake Mullin (with his 16-game hitting streak intact) gets a SAC Fly to add a run in the bottom of the 8th.  McMurry 9-4.

[EDIT] Cory Davis comes in to get the last 2 outs as McMurry wins 9-7 and take the HPU series, 3-0. McMurry is now 10-5 in West and tied for second at worst.

Yeah I saw that but was unsure i saw that mc was up 4-0 early in the first but the live stats went haywire on me....thanks for any updates you can give.

MC won 11-3 in the first game, and Bo Bell just tied up the second game at 4-4 with a homerun in the 8th.

Edit: Jarrod Cannette hit a 3-run homer to put MC up 7-4, still in the 8th. Ozarks led 4-0 and they have 14 hits already, so it's far from over.

Edit: MC won 7-4. Has to sweep UT-Tyler next week to be in position to win the division.

UMHB Frogstomps Concordia in game 3 15-3. UMHB played today like I have expected them too all season. Good Defense, Good pitching, and Good hitting. Finally looked like they put it all together. This is a key series win for them. That virtually puts them 1 1/2 games ahead of Concordia since they own the tiebreaker.

Believe it or not, this is UMHB's first series win VS Concordia in Coach Well's tenure at UMHB. Today's win in the first game snapped a 7 game losing streak vs Concordia.

Hey, is anyone starting to believe in SR yet?  Still a ways to go in the 3rd game and it's 1-1.  Again, history says they won't do it but they are much improved.  HSU is finding that at.

[Ralph Turner]

Here are the schedules for the rest of the season.

#1 Hardin-Simmons	11-4	17-14	at TLU, at McM	Controls destiny
#2T Texas Lutheran	10-5	24-9	HSU, at CTX	Pre-season Favorite. Won series over McMurry
#2T McMurry	10-5	18-15	at SRSU, HSU	Losses are to UMHB (2), TLU (2), CTX(1)
#4 Mary Hardin-Baylor	8-7	16-16	at HPU, SRSU	Favorable schedule. Can you imagine a four way tie for 1st?
#5T Sul Ross State	7-8	15-14	McM, at UMHB	Has hard schedule ahead
#5T Concordia	7-8	14-19	SU, TLU	Lost series to UMHB

#7 Howard Payne	4-11	15-17	UMHB, at SU	*
#8 Schreiner	3-12	5-27	at CTX, HPU	Has key win over UMHB, HSU and TLU

Very interesting and exciting weekend. I have no idea what happened to the first game with TLU this weekend I guess they just came in with the wrong attitude. HSU found out the hard way it looked like that SR can play this year a lil bit. Good job to UMHB for getting a series win. Looks like McM is on a role right now playing good ball and starting to figure it out. Solid starts by the 3 starters for McM (hewitt, smith, semchenko) Hewitt pitched a heck of a game to start the series off right. Maldonado and Davis are doing their job out of the pen looks like Maldonado is setup guy while Davis is the closer...which he shouldve been all year in my opinion. If McM is ahead in the later innings going to be hard to beat them with Maldonado and Davis. Mullins is putting up his numbers like he should be as well the rest of the team is playing ball overall. Going to come down to the very end like always for all the marbles. Great next two weeks of ball coming up see who can control their destiny.

UT Tyler is now 14-0 in the weak ASC East. They only need to win 1 out of 3 at Mississppi College to clinch their 5th ASC east crown.
The swept LC this weekend in Vilade's last home series (excluding playoffs) as head coach at UT Tyler. I still hpe that Stan gets the job and I am sure James has put in a good word for him. Stan has had a lot to do with the recruiting and has shown skill working with the pitching staff. He will need help in developing hitters as that was really where Vilade excelled. Villade spent a couple of summers as the hitting coach of the Frisco Roughriders.
