BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

[fantastic50]

With the "M&M boys" pitching tomorrow, and two chances to beat St. Thomas again, Wooster couldn't ask for a better position going into the championship finals.  Bring it home, Scots!

Great to see Wooster stay undefeated today by eliminating Chapman 11-7.   The bats for the Scots took control early and never let Chapman get into this game.

Most importantly, Wooster now only needs one more win for the title and with today's win, they have two games if needed to get the job completed.

With the rest of the team stepping up to win games #3 and #4, we now have McDowell and Miller ready to get Wooster to the finish line tomorrow as fantastic50 noted.

GO SCOTS!

Best of luck tomorrow Scots!  Bring the walnut & bronze back to Ohio!

This is one heck of an impressive run that the Scots are on.  Close the deal tomorrow, gentlemen! 

[David Collinge]

Ah, well.  It was fun while it lasted.  National titles just aren't our thang in Northeast Ohio (Alliance notwithstanding).  Congratulations to the Scots on a great season and excellent tournament.

Wooster gets to exact a small amount of revenge when St. Thomas' men's basketball team visits the Hill for the Van Wie Classic in December.

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

Congtats to Wooster on a great tourney. You guys played like champs!

David C-- I dunno about that revenge come Nov...UST returns 8 of its top 12 players from last season, including the MIAC MVP. But it should be a great tourney, as it always is!

Congrats to the Scots on a great run. It hurts now but we're proud of you.

[Dr. Acula]

Congrats to the Scots on a great run.  I can't believe that game ended in the 12th and Wooster only used 1 pitcher!  Unbelievable effort.

[fantastic50]

Obviously, the loss will hurt for a long while for these young men in black and gold.  That being said, I'm very proud of what this Wooster team accomplished.  I hope that there is a big crowd to greet them when the bus rolls in at the campus.

Wooster's accomplishments in the 2009 season:

43-11 overall record
North Coast Athletic Conference Championship
MidEast Regional Championship
2nd Place National Finish in the World Series

Congratulations to Coach Pettorini and the Scots on a terrific season! 

[DenisonFan]

Who would have thought in midseason that Wooster would be playing for the national title?  I enjoyed watching Wooster's impressive performance all the way through the tournament. Thought they had it.

Gritty pitching performances. How long could Miller go? 12? 13? Forever?

Congrats to all the players, coaches and fans of the Scots!

[BASH6-4-3]

Congratulations to all involved with Wooster baseball on a fantastic season and unbelievable post-season.  Way to represent the NCAC.

EPIC CHOKE!

OACfan,
       Your comment validates your ignorance of baseball knowledge. Obviously you don't recognize great baseball played by two great teams.

That being said, congratulations to the Tommies on a championship and the Scots on a great season. The two championship games were tightly contested and well played.

Some final thoughts on the championship games.
St. T. took every opportunity to advance runners that reached base with no outs. Nine SAC's in 2 games. This kept pressure on Woo's pitchers and defense.

St.T had 4 two out RBI's vs 1 for Woo.

Great pitching from both teams. Scot pitchers work out of quite a few jambs,St. T left 24 runners on base vs the Scots 11.

Great performances by St. T's Stone going 7 relief innings giving up only 3 hits and Woo's Miller leaving everything he had on the field going 11 plus on 2 day rest.
Great defense played by both teams. Only 3 errors committed in 21 innings.The Scots turned 5 DPs in game 2 to hold them in there.

Overall good baseball, no, I mean GREAT BASEBALL. The Tommies were just a little better on this day.

Finally, Thanks for the great season Wooster. I enjoyed all the highs and felt the disappointment of the lows.
Thank you seniors for 4 years of great baseball. Although you didn't reach your ultimate goal, you certainly left your mark on the program and history of Wooster Baseball. Your commitment, success, and leadership will be passed down to the underclassmen and they in turn will pass it along to future players. That is what keeps us all connected. Good luck on your future endeavors.
