Congrats to the Big Red on registering the doubleheader sweep over #1 Trinity! :)

Wooster also notched a doubleheader sweep yesterday with 13-5 and 8-3 wins over Allegheny.  Scots are now 13-3.

Very nice wins for Denison!   Wooster was the only NCAC team to not join the party of beating ranked opponents last week...

But the Scots did get off to a solid start to conference play sweeping the Gators.  They now have a DH with Allegheny today before heading back to tropical Ohio...  :P

Nice wins for OWU & Denison this week.  The NCAC West will be very tough I'm afraid to crack the top 2.

Wabash & OWU get it all started with 4 in C-ville this weekend.

Wabash is 3-5 after having 6 full games lost to rainouts so far this spring (1 in Alabama & 5 in Texas).  They are coming off a rain-shortened 9-3 loss at Rose-Hulman on Wednesday.  With the weather issues they have had to contend with, I'm not really sure where they stack up right now for this crucial conference match up.

Wooster concluded their spring break trip by finishing off a 4 game sweep of Allegheny to open NCAC play at 4-0! 

Matt DeGrand went the distance in the opener allowing just 2 earned runs while striking out 13 as Wooster won the opener 8-2!

In the nightcap, Mark Miller recorded a shutout in just his 2nd career start as Wooster won 5-0.   8)

Wooster finished off their southern swing with a record of 14-2 despite being without the services of staff ace Matt Barnes and their narrow loss to nationally ranked UW-Whitewater came with Wooster sitting their top 4 pitchers while resting them for their conference opening series against Allegheny.

Is there something wrong with Trap?  I see he barely went past 2 innings in his start on Saturday.  Or did they have plans to pitch by committee?

Wabash & OWU split their 4 game series this weekend in Crawfordsville.
scores 5-2 (W), 12-7 (OWU), 2-1 (W), 6-4 (OWU).
The key game was game 3 where the Little Giants won in the bottom of the 10th with a walk off walk with the bases loaded.

Pretty competitive series and a good sign that the West division is going to be a dogfight to the very end.

My worries about Trap were confirmed in today's Daily Record.  Trap came out due to soreness in his shoulder.

Wow!  First Barnes goes down with clots in his arm that they now say could put him out at least for the season and now Trap?  The #1 and #2 pitchers on the staff for Wooster are now on the shelf for who knows how long...  :-\

I guess Miller will definitely be a starter now!  And this also means that some youngsters are going to have to be called upon to step up sooner than expected!

The NCAC West indeed looks like it is going to be a dogfight!  It should be a fun race to watch to see who emerges as the ones to beat as the spring progresses forward!  :)

It's nice to see the Scots had a very good spring trip. Offensively, it seems several underclassmen have stepped up and performed well. Keep it going! It is also encouraging to hear that Coach P is emphasising hitting the ball up the middle and to the opposite field.
Tough break to hear that the top two pitchers are experiencing arm problems. Again, this opens the door for the underclassmen to show their stuff. I hope they can take advantage of the opportunity.

Wooster sweeps Oberlin in the 1st two of a 4 game series by the scores of 9-1 and 12-2.  Matt DeGrand picked up the win in game one going 5 innings striking out 3 and walking none.  Justin McDowell picked up the win in game two going 6 innings with 7 so's and just one walk!

It will be interesting to see who gets called on today for the Scots.  I'm sure that Miller will get one of the starts.  But the 4th starter could be pitcher by committee...  Looking at the stats freshman Dan O'brien seems to be the most likely candidate as he has started 2 games and has a 2-0 record.  Sophomore Tyler Fugate is also 2-0, but he has yet to start a game.

Wooster completed the 4 game sweep of Oberlin with two wins on Sunday (16-3 and 12-0).  Mark Miller pitched a no-hitter in game two.

Trap pitched 4 innings of game one.  Lets hope he's feeling a little better.  You may not be able to tell if Trap is in pain because he's such a tough kid and plays through it.

Wow!  Congrats to Mark Miller on the no-no!  That's the 1st Wooster no-hitter since Jon Oliver no-hit the Yeomen back in '06!  And he made the front page of d3baseball.com as well:

D3baseball.com Front Page Story!  8)  Of course, that's Wooster SID Hugh Howard's write-up...  :)

I'd say that Miller is adjusting to his starting role quite nicely.  He now has pitched 2 shutouts out of his first 3 starts of his carreer and improved his record to 4-0 overall on the season.  His ERA is also down to 1.19!

Wooster has now won 8 straight and 17 of their last 18 games.  They will face another test as they square off with regional rival Marietta on Wed.  Marietta is currently ranked #14 in the d3baseball Top 25.  But of course, we all know how unfair it's going to be because obviously, Marietta is only sending their JV team at best to go up against Wooster's starters...  :P

Damn.  That's quite a week for 'Etta!  That weather over the weekend sure did make this week a heck of a lot tougher for the Pios!  I thought Wooster had it rough playing 6 games in 5 days, but 'Etta is going to do us one better by playing 7 games in 6 days...
