I forgot all about Wooster's Matt Johnson. In listening to today's radio broadcast it was mentioned that Matt needed surgery after "putting his hand throgh a window." What happened?

Do you have a link to the boradcast?

Nice way to start things off for the Scots at the CWS. Is there anywhere to get a box score? I was just wondering how many pitches Justin had to throw today.

Regardless, it was another outstanding performance by McDowell as he proved yet again worthy of his All-American status! I think McDowell may have exceeded expectations by a little this year. Here's what it said about him in the Scot's Media Guide:

QuoteHas the potential to earn a lot of key innings ...

Judging from the fact that he tied the scool record for wins in a season set back in 1994, I'd say he's definitely exceeded his potential for this season! 8)

Also, I guess it was a good thing Wooster didn't take the day off on Tuesday as it said in the preview in the DR. Pettorini said the guys wanted to take BP and that they looked very good in their session and it looks like it carried over to today as they reached double digits in hits! 8)

Let's keep this run rolling Woo!!!

Very impressive performance today! Nice win. This team may be peaking at the right time!
Congrat's to M. Miller, J. McDowell, and S. Karpen on ABCA All American honors. Also, to coach P. on Mid East COY.

The box score on the World Series site doesn't say how many pitches, it'd be nice to know though!! McDowell threw so well today. If Miller can follow-up tomorrow with a nice game, Wooster will be in great shape.

They will be playing Kean at 5:30pm.

*** oh yeah, and congrats to the ABCA selection committee for getting it right and making Karpen and Miller BOTH All-Americans, along with McDowell.

Mid East,
And also C. Cimino from Etta and all other honorees from the OAC. Ohio baseball is strong.

Old Scot: And also Gar Keene and Andy Lowe from Heidleberg according to the Heidelberg web site.. Ohiio baseball is indeed very strong!! And these young men are only Sophmores and will be around for two more years.

Also congrats to Tom Petorini - Mid-East Coach of the Year.

Wooster is now 2-0 in the World Series after knocking off Kean by a 14-1 score.

Congratulations to Justin McDowell and Mark Miller on back to back tremendous pitching performances.

The Scots need some other pitchers to step up tomorrow in their 3rd game against the St. Thomas/Shenandoah winner if they hope to stay in the winners bracket and have a good shot at the championship.

When Wooster takes the field tomorrow, there will only be 4 teams left in the tournament!

GO SCOTS!

Pretty impressive with a combined score of 22-2 in the first two games!

I assume that the Scots will go with Trap / DeGrand tomorrow, and bring McDowell back on 2 days rest on Monday. At least that's the rotation that they used in the Regional.

mideastfan2 · May 24, 2009, 12:52:44 AM

If they can win against St Thomas, they won't need to bring McDowell back on Monday....that game will be a throw away, as the winner of the winner's bracket final will automatically be in the Championship. The only thing to be decided at that point is whether they need to win one of two, or just a winner-take-all final.

I just hope the Scots play better defense than what they played the last time they went with the duo of Trap and DeGrand. It was Wooster's six errors that did them in that day vs. Marietta. Not the pitching of Trap and DeGrand.

This is a HUGE game for Wooster today. Win, and they're off until Tuesday where they would at most have to play 2 games. Lose and they will have to play one tomorrow and 2 to win it on Tuesday. Talk about stretching yourself thin...

So, with a win tonight, Wooster will be one win away from bringing home the Walnut and Bronze to Wooster! 8)

Agreed that they need to play better in the field than they did in the loss to Marietta last week. Fielding has often been their downfall in the regionals/finals, but with the exception of that game its been pretty good. I could be wrong, but I think that most of the errors thus far have been by the pitchers!

However, there is no off day. Win or lose today, they play a single game tomorrow. although the schedule isn't clear what tomorrow's matchups are.

Because of the way the schedule is set, it turns out that the only way to win the championship by winning only 4 games is to actually lose today's game! There's a discussion of this here: http://www.d3boards.com/index.php?topic=6387.msg1069747#msg1069747
