BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

[old scot]

Scots beat Etta 6-0.
Etta sat 2 seniors for breaking team rules. Much respect for coach Brewer for standing pat and putting his team before wins and loses.

[ScotsFan]

Nice win for the Scots yesterday.  Not only beating the #1 team in the country but shutting them out in the process.  Marietta went scoreless in two games as Montclair St (who beat Woo on Wednesday) also blanked the Pios.  Guess that loss to Mont. St. wasn't as bad as I thought on Wed.

Would love to see a rematch between Woo and the Etta with Etta atfull strength. Just wasn't the same team yesterday. Marietta smoked Montclair state just three days ago before getting shutout yesterda by them and Wooster

They are scheduled to play at Wooster against each other in a mid-week contest on April 25th.  It may be a typical low-end starter battle, but at least they will match-up again....if weather permits.

OWU cancelled the game against Wooster. Half the team are members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Two members of the fraternity were in a car accident. One died and another is in the hospital. Please keep the families in your prayers.

Just heard this story on the news.  Thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends.

WE'LL KEEP THE FAMILIES IN OUR PRAYERS. A FEW OF THE OWU PLAYERS ARE VERY GOOD FRIENDS WITH MY GRANDSON AND GRANDDAUGHTER.

I heard about the accident and saw the game was cancelled but did not put two and two together until I read the above posts. Very sad news.

Prayers to the families involved and the OWU community.

Not sure if Witt's results against Capital and Mount Union tell us much.  If anything I'd say they tell us that Witt is what we expect from Witt...decent.  Pretty good?  Solid?  However you'd like to say it.  The NCAC West is gonna be a fun ride for you guys.

[ScotsFan]

The NCAC West is loaded this year!  This is why I'm not a fan of the 2 divisions in the NCAC.  I would argue that OWU, Witt, Wabash and Denison could ALL easily win the East.  I could make an argument for Wooster as really the only team from the East that could compete in the West...

ScotsFan,
I am not a fan of the two divisions in the NCAC either. I understand the issues with rain outs between teams such as Allegheny and Wabash being an issue though. I was talking to a Dennison coach and next year there may be some cross league play that counts to the division standings. I was not real clear on the details.

I agree with you that Wooster could easily compete in the West. It is very likely that the NCAC tournament this year will not be all the top teams in the conference. East will be Wooster and Kenyon (my guess). I do not even want to Hazard a guess in the west. Could be any two of the teams in this division.

Wooster moved to 5-3 after wins over Bethel 8-3 (5-5) and Oneonta St. 4-1 (3-3). No boxscore is available at this time.

Nice to see the Scots have now won 3 of their last 4 games allowing an average of 2 runs per game over that stretch.  And their only loss was a 2-1 setback to Rhodes.  Not too shabby...

Box scores have been posted for Wooster's previous two games.

Interesting line by Wooster's Koski against Oneonta St., a game they won 4-1. Seven walks and no K's....

Saw my first game in peacefuk Valley. OWU out slugged Heidelberg to win 13 - 11, boy can Heidelberg's Lizcano hit. OWU's Zack Bott hit his first collegiate Home run. A 3 run blast to cap off the win.
