BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

[ScotsFan]

That's what I was afraid of.  D*mn you Carthage live stats!

Good win though.  Sorry, didn't mean to rain on the parade with my complaining!

Carthage men and womens are both still in the Hoops tourney(hosted last weekend)  so their SID has been tied up and I don't think he is traveling with the baseball team yet. Livestats should be up the rest of the season... not that it will help you unless they meet again in Appleton (here's hoping).

It's definitely not helping me...I'm a Mount Union fan.  As much as it pains me, it's pretty safe to say they won't be in Appleton.   

You MUC guys are too busy dominating some other sport and spending too much time in Salem, VA!

Thanks for the welcome!

Box scores for wooter/carthage and wooster/Mount St. Josephs are both up on woosters website.  Walks and hit by pitches definitely lead to a high scoring game against carthage...both teams also seemed to hit the ball well against quality pitching though.  Great performance by Degrand today on the mound (11 SO) and good timely hitting by the scots to pull out the win.

I'm interested to see who started on the hill for both teams today.

Wooster 10
OWU 5

Final

This game supposedly wasnt even as close as the score indicates. It was 10-2 going into the 9th so maybe Pettorini put a freshman in to get some experience.  OWU was tabbed to finish second in the NCAC behind Wooster and I know its early but if this is any indication of how the NCAC will turn out this year, Wooster may just run away with it.

Pretty good start to the season so far for the Scots!  Off to a 4-0 start which includes wins over a ranked opponent and the team picked to win the NCAC West.

Next up for Wooster is an OAC foe in Wilmington before a rematch with 10th ranked Carthage on Friday.

This won't be pretty...but at least they can rest all their non-freshmen pitchers for Carthage!

Final

I was going to say after HeyScots' first update that with McDowell on the bump I was guessing the 3 runs put up by Wooster would probably be enough.  And sure enough it was.     Of course, Wooster had to tack on 3 more runs for good measure.

The wooster/carthage game tonight has been cancelled due to rain.  Not sure if they will be able to make this game up.

After the result on the hardwood tonight where the Scots saw their season come to an end in the Sweet 16, I was expecting to come in here and see that Wooster had lost to Carthage to add insult to injury.  I guess Mother Nature decided to be merciful in this instance.   

[BASH6-4-3]

Bash fans got a quick but extensive look at our 2010 team this week after an aggressive 12 game road trip to Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma.  The Little Giants finished this very tough test 4-8.  Competition included a four game start at Birmingham Southern and Adrian - both top 25 teams. Coupled with playing all southern schools (except Adrian) we were a bit overmatched this early in the season but hopefully better tested and prepared.

The key points taken from the box scores: 1. pitching woes (team ERA 10.20) 2. 1B Jon Holm - 6 HR 19 RBI .386 BA.

The first point surprises me and I'm optimistic this will get better as the team heads north.  Last year's staff was clearly a reason they competed so well in conference play and the staff is essentially the same this year.
The second point is no surprise as I predicted earlier a big year from Holm.  Those are POW numbers.

Little Giants get a good test with Franklin this week before a big 4 game set with OWU next weekend.  The bash surprised the Bishops last year by taking 3 of 4 and really setting themselves up well for the conference standings.  They clearly need to right the ship if they plan to repeat a trip to the conference tourney.

[BASH6-4-3]

Proud to announce that construction is planned to restart for the new baseball stadium at Wabash.

We were supposed to have been opening the first game there this week but construction was put on hold after the disastrous economic tumble in late 2008 killed the school's endowment and started a series of cost-cutting measures.  Luckily, this campus upgrade has been deemed a high priority and is going to happen for next season.

Recuiting, recruiting, recruiting.... it's all about recruiting.......

There will be live stats on the kean website for the wooster/kean game tonight at 6 pm
