Couldn't believe McMurry even got it to extras with how Cox pitched. A no-hitter broken up by a home run!

McMurry took advantage of the chances they got and made a game of it though. Sounds like two really good ballgames!

Yeah, Cox had a slider that was vicious today. Westin Franco struck out 3 times but had a homer and RBI-double.

I would have ruled the hit that scored the winning run as an RBI-single. I didn't think that the SS could have fielded the ball and thrown out a very fleet Matt Kelly in time to end the inning.

McMurry leads Ozarks 7-1 after 6 innings. McM's Schafer allowed 1 run on 3 hits in the bottom of the first and has scattered 6 hits total.

McMurry is batting in the top of the 7th. Casey doubles home Franco who walked. 8-1 going to the bottom of the 7th.

Ralph Turner · May 06, 2007, 12:06:56 PM

McMurry leads 8-1 going to the top of the 9th.

Ralph Turner · May 06, 2007, 02:37:45 PM

McM 8, UOzarks 1; Final

UTD-TLU scoreless in the UT-D top of the 6th.

Ralph Turner · May 06, 2007, 08:33:38 PM

TLU edges UT-D 1-0 in the bottom of the 9th.

McMurry comes back to beat UT-D 14-4 (10 run rule) in the bottom of the 8th.

UT-D eliminated.

McMurry must win two from TLU tomorrow.

Ralph Turner · May 07, 2007, 03:03:01 PM

TLU 6, McM 0 in the first game.

Congratulations to the Bulldogs.

I have to say that the mound on the UT-Dallas baseball field must be the highest point in Dallas County!

I though that the TLU starting pitcher adjusted very well to the mound, and McMurry did not jump on him early.

Given how flat Dallas County is, I suspect the pitchers could have seen virtually all of
southern Oklahoma from the mound (unless, of course, a few bob war fences were in the way) ....

From that UT-D pitching mound, yep!

(Except for all of the 10-story office buildings that have been built between UT-D and the Okie border.)

And West POY goes to the guy with 4+ ERA on a 5th place team, and not the one with 1+ ERA on the 1st place team. Do they even know who they are voting on?

First off, Enloe had a great year of his own, so don't think I'm discounting his season. I think his season ERA was 2+, not 1+ though.

Secondly, Miller had a 3.89 ERA, 102 K's, and 16 BB's. Do you know who you're talking about? It's not like Enloe got beat out by a bad pitcher.

Shiloh · May 08, 2007, 08:32:56 PM

Actually, I think I do. I'm a fan of the 5th place team anyway. I was only looking at conference game stats. That seemed to make sense for post-season conference awards. My voting remark had more to do with the RP votes for a guy who about never pitched in relief (and never in conference). I was thinking that really was a mistake. I cheered plenty for Miller. There just seemed to be some, if not several, strange award results.

CUAfan · May 09, 2007, 01:32:22 PM

I must apologize for my tone in my previous post. I was a little overly aggressive and had no right to be.

Personally, I think that the coaches, hopefully subconsciously, try to work the system to get the most recognition for their players, regardless of who actually deserves X award.

I think the stats for the entire season would be better. The point is to recognize the best pitcher/hitter/whatever in the conference, and their out-of-conference stats are part of that.

Shiloh · May 09, 2007, 05:40:56 PM

Fair enough. I'm more bummed about the 5th place finish. Good luck TLU I guess. CUA shouldn't have lost three to them, but we did. Now its the old wait until next year thing.....

dsc · May 10, 2007, 12:43:13 AM

Yes, good luck...TLU...Go all the way!

Blackcat00 · May 10, 2007, 12:25:37 PM

I really think Miller deserved it. Plus im hearing he is suppose to be drafted this year in the draft. That will make two years in a row that Concordia has someone go in to the minor league system. COngrats to MIller.

Blackcat00 · May 10, 2007, 12:31:25 PM

Also what I noticed that is unbeleivable is how Coach Mike Gardner from Concordia hsnt received coach of the year at all. That be saying hes the only coach from the ASC conference to reach the Div3 World Series. Makes you think is there some bias because they love Mueller at TLU and they are the Buffolo Bills of the ASC when it comes to the REgionals.
