Still way too early for the Northern teams to have enough games against each other for Masseys to be accurate. But nice to see Denison getting some love.

Defending NCAC champion starts it spring trip tomorrow in Arizona with a crazy schedule.  They play a double header on 8 straight days.   I don't think any team has enough pitching for that schedule.

It's good to see that most of the teams that have played their spring break schedule are winning games.  6 out of 10 teams with winning records so far.  That is good for the conference.

OWU takes first game of DH from Transy 19-2. Senior  Pete Munger goes 6 innings. Lots of new guys saw plying time today.

Denisons game with Letourneau cancelled today. Always hate to see the last game of a spring trip canceled. Denison goes 6-2 on their spring trip.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Wabash is on a 3 game winning streak. Merchant Marine , Rockford and now NAIA,  Robert Morris. And it looks likebthey are on their way to a fourth. They are beating RMU, 9-1 in the sixth.

OWU won the second game of the DH 13-4, to sweep Transylvania. They are now 7-2...

Bishops are looking good.  I think they'll beat BW and sweep Mount coming up.

Thanks Doctor. I hope you are right. I always likebthe games against the OAC teams. I know you will not be at the MT. Game, but I hope to be.

OWU defeats BW, 7-4. OWU has won 5 straight and sit at 8-2.

Wooster finishes their Florida trip with a nice record of 8-2. 

Scots won their last four games on the trip over Manchester, Keystone, Western Connecticut and Wisconsin-Platteville.  Two of the last four games went into extra innings and Wooster used late rallies in all four games to clinch the win in each game.

GO SCOTS!

After losing their first game of the season to Johns Hopkins, Wooster then went 8-1 with their loss being to a pre-season All-American pitcher from North Central Illinois.  They played a much stronger schedule down south this year and came through it very well, finishing 8-2. 

The NCAC looks to be pretty strong this year, with an overall record of 66-54.  If you take into consideration that Hiram is 1-10, the overall record without them is 65-44.  I cannot wait for conference play to start next weekend to see how everything shakes out.

BLD...Mount is now playing a single game at OWU tomorrow at 4pm.  Hopefully the weather cooperates.
