BB: ASC: American Southwest Conference

[All-AmericanFan]

getting back to the rain out possibility, I am about 60-70% sure (meaning not that sure) that I have heard the higher seed takes the series if the weekend is rained out, no make-ups during the week, just the higher seed gets the nod. I would guess this would not apply, however, it the lower seed wins game 1 and games two & three were rained out...

that's what I have heard as well. Thanks for the information!

Yes Ozarks is a 30 game winner, I wouldnt really go off of that with their preseason schedule and playing shriener in a cross over. Now CTX with quality wins over HBU and Weslayen that on paper would have me consider CTX, but that my opinion. THis is why Gardner schedules quality opponents in D1 and NAIA schools. CTX also is on a streak and the pitching is fine and not to many issues ive seen the last two weeks.  I say they take 2 of 3.
McMurry also takes the other side, could be a football score.

THere is a chance of rain tommorw night here in Austin.

My predictions for the weekend:

McMurry over LA College in 2. LA College is obviously the weakest team in this tournament. Their only shot will be if McMurry is missing their big guns all weekend again.

Ozarks over CTX in 2- I have seen both teams play this year. Ozarks by far has the better pitching. I believe the lineups are fairly equal, so the nod goes to Ozarks because of pitching.

UMHB over MC in 3 - I have not seen UMHB play, but they have played really good baseball if you take away their weekend vs CTX. It will be interesting to see how UMHB's hitting does against a fairly solid staff at MC.

Last but not least,
UT Tyler over HSU in 2 - Sorry Hardin Simmons, but you are just overmatched this weekend. I think you will be lucky to be in one of the two games.


Good luck to everyone this weekeend, I hope the weather holds!

Ozarks over CTX in 2- I have seen both teams play this year. Ozarks by far has the better pitching. I believe the lineups are fairly equal, so the nod goes to Ozarks because of pitching.

I tend to agree, but I think that if CTX starts Whiteley tonight they greatly increase their chance to win the series (or at least one game). He's the best pitcher on the staff, and there's no good reason to hold him until game 3. I do think the series will go the distance though, regardless.

Other than that, I agree with your other picks, fungoman.

[TexasBB]

Ozarks leading 5-1 against CTX and batting in the top of the 9th.  If this continues tomorrow - a sweep by the east then the tournament would move to Irwin Field at UTT next week.

[TexasBB]

Patriots up 13-4 going into the 9th. The Patriots offense has 20 hits against 5 different Cowboy pitchers. It could be worse UTT has left 15 base runners stranded. Cody Evans is pitching in relief of Blake Booher for the 9th. He as an ERA of 1.50 in limited work this year.
