BB: ASC: American Southwest Conference

Just_Some_Guy · May 03, 2013, 06:33:58 PM

[Final]: Texas Lutheran 4 - Louisiana College 1

Bulldog starting pitcher, Jeff Spillane threw 7.2 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K. He worked out of a couple of jams early and only gave up 2 H from the 3rd on. Sr. closer Sean Kistler came in and recorded the SV. He started the 9th off with a BB & a HBP, but got a backwards K (that can't happen in the playoffs w/ 2 runners on), and induced a double play to end the game.

3B Jennings Boothe was 2-4 w/ 2 RBI for the Bulldogs.

Seth Webster (10-2, 1.61 ERA coming in) was solid on the bump for La College, but the Wildcats did make 3 errors behind him.

Marc Riendeau was 2-4 w/ the lone RBI for the Cats.

Looking forward to CUA vs. UTT tonight.

Four unearned runs for UTT in the bottom of the fifth. The inning started with a 4-pitch walk and then the second batter reached on a throwing error by the pitcher on SAC bunt. All 4 runs scored after 2 outs.

Now UTT 5-0 over CTX in the top of the 6th.

UTT and Tex Lutheran to face off tomorrow. CTX committed 4 errors combined with 5 base on balls killed them tonight.

Possibly the worst ump behind the plate I have seen this year, for both teams.

LC puts away CTX 13-12 in 10 innings

UT Tyler has a commanding lead of 9-1 in the 6th against Texas Lutheran. Marah is pitching for the Patriots and doing a fine job.

Marah started but only worked 3 innings and only faced only 14 batters. So he must have suffered an injury in the Louisiana College series and they are being carefull with him. Weber came in relief and worked 3 innings of shutout baseball and is now pitching in the 7th.

UTT takes advantage of poor play by the Lutheran pitching staff. Too many walks and hit batters. You give an offense like Tyler's too many opportunities they will hurt you. Surprisingly Texas Luthern's pitching staff fell way short tonight. You have to hand it to the Patriots, they took advantage of unforced mistakes and made the Buldogs pay for it.

In the looser bracket final, Texas Lutheran tried using McGriff who has been injured. Louisiana College jumped all over him scoring 5 runs in the first inning and have a big 9-2 lead in the 4th. Looks like an all East Division final tomorrow if this holds.

They certainly hit McGriff has well as anyone had all year, but it looks like TLU dug themselves in a hole in both the 1st and the 3rd with errors as well. You especially have to be able to get the out when the opposition is trying to SAC. That, and they left 12 runners on base, including quite a few in the last couple of innings. They played uncharacteristically sloppy. La College had the same limitations, but I have to wonder what the implications were of starting the 2nd game of the double header at 9:42pm after sitting around the ball park all day.

I would've liked to the Bulldogs get to the finals because then I think they still had a *very outside* shot at the Pool C bid if they got some help across the country, but as it stands, I think another region will ship at least one team to Austin. Unless of course, La College takes 2 from UTT today.

Patriots win the title with a 10-4 win over Louisiana College. They get the ASC Pool A spot in the regionals.

It remains to be seen if Texas Lutheran will get a Pool C bid.

UT Dallas has a new assistant. Sean West has been an Assistant in the NCAC for several years prior and does a good job. He is well connected in the Summer Collegiate leagues. As GM of the Licking County Settlers in the Great Lakers League, he had no problem bringing in D3 talent. The Settlers won the Great Lakes league the last two years. The Settlers regularly started a D# player in Out filed and first during the run, and had two D3 pitchers as regulars in the rotation. A D3 player started the first game of the championship this year. I have a feeling we will see several UT Dallas players in Newark Ohio next spring.

He is a good pick up for the Comets.

ASC started this week and the pre-season pick UTT is in trouble. Sul Ross State took 2 out of 3 from the Patriots at UTT who surrendered runs by the boat load (31 runs in 3 games). The pitching staff is weak with only one starter Beam, that they can count on and even he is not stellar. The offense is very average. This is the worst start for a Patriots team since they introduced baseball in 2004. They have now dropped 6 of their first 9 games. Not going to be their year.

They did not look like a top 20 team when I saw them play TU, but I just thought it was those god awful Astros style jerseys.

That should help UTD in recruiting.
