THanks guys. Now i know not to pick Wooster in regionals ....lol....

[ScotsFan]

Trap gave up a solo HR in the bottom of the 1st.  But Wooster responds to tie things up in the top of the 2nd on 3 straight hits.  But, not one of those hits left the infield... 

1-1 with Kenyon coming to bat in their half of the 2nd.

Wooster scores 7 times in the top of the 4th and is still batting with a runner on second and 1 out.
Scots lead 8-1.

The Scots give back 4 runs in the bottom of the 4th, walking home two runners, before striking out the potential go-ahead run to end the inning with the bases loaded.

Wooster 8, Kenyon 5 (end 4th)

Kenyon had just 2 hits...  Wooster walked 5 Kenyon batters?!

5 complete. Woo 8, Kenyon 6.

Justin McDowell is making a case for Pitcher of the Year in the NCAC!  He came on after Kenyon had already plated a run with runners on 1st and 2nd and got one out on a sacrifice bunt.  He then got the next batter to ground out and struck out the last batter to end the threat!

Bottom of 9.

Wooster 10
Kenyon 6

Kenyon down to their last 3 outs.

Mark Miller is on the mound for his 2nd inning of relief.

Congrats to Wooster on winning the NCAC Championship!

Miller sends Kenyon down 1-2-3 in the ninth to preserve the 10-6 win!

Wooster will now more than likely be headed to Adrian, MI for the Mideast Regional!

Congratulation to Wooster on winning the championship.

Scots get the job done with with their 3 man pitching staff or 3 1/2 counting the injured Trapuzzano.
With the lack of depth, its important to stay in the winners bracket during the regional. Otherwise it could mean an early exit.

And this is something that the Scots have had trouble doing over the last few trips to the Regionals...

congrats to wooster on the championship!!!

Not a complaint, just a head scratch er. Wooster was ranked #1 and Heidelberg #2  in last Thursdays regional rankings. Woo goes 2-0 over the weekend and Berg 3-0. The Berg leap frogs to the #1 seed and Woo drops to #2?

I've brought this topic up earlier and someone said the edge would go to the OAC school because of SOS. I can buy that. The committee has seemed to flip flop Wooster and Heidelberg between 1 and 2 all season with no real reason to move them. I have  read other objections on this board regarding change in regional rankings that seem to senseless.
I would like to see some consistency in the selection process. This just seems like a  crap shoot.

^^^^^

I brought this up last week wondering why Wooster was suddenly #1 in the Mideast Region with a worse record than Heide.  It is very frustrating to try and figure out the thought processes of the selection commitee and especially when they are so freaking secretive about the whole process...

One other thing that leaves you scratching your head is how Marietta got in as a 3 seed and Ott didn't get in at all.  When you consider that Ott was ranked ahead of Marietta in the last 'open' regional poll and the Cards were 3-1 vs. Marietta head to head and split games over the weekend, yet Marietta gets a 3 seed in the tournament and Ott is left to clean out their lockers...
