BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

Watching from afar, it looks like Denison gave up 2 in top of 9th to lose Game 1. Then followed it up in game 2 with giving up 2 more in bottom of 9th to force extra. Tough way to end the season (here we call that "0-2 and BBQ") but given the turn around from last year it looks like Coach Deegan and company may have to program moving in the right direction?

Without question. They're going to be good as long as he's there, IMO. They were already better this year than I expected and they're only going to get better as he continues to recruit "his" guys going forward. Lots to be excited about if you're a Big Red fan in my mind.

Woo is laying the wood to Allegheny 16-3 in the bottom of the 7th. Scots soon to be NCAC champs and win a bid to NCAA playoffs.

Wow! This was a 2-2 game in thru 5 and then Woo put a snowman up in the bottom of the 6th to break this game open. And then, for insurance, the Scots tacked on 6 more in the bottom of the 7th for good measure.

The final was 18-6. Congrats to the Scots on their 15th NCAC Championship and good luck going forward in the upcoming Regionals!

Congratulations to the Scots it was well deserved.

Who do you all think will be favorites for next year? Also, congrats go out to both Wooster for their championship run, and Oberlin Head Coach Adrian Abrahamowicz for winning NCAC Coach of the Year

Gotta think Wooster will be the favorite until someone steps up and can compete against them. In the west, the favorite for me is Denison. I know the this is not a stretch. But I do not know who loses what except for the Bishops, and Denison a little bit.

Congratulations to all the players who Made the NCAC team.

NCAC Baseball Special
For Immediate Release
ALL-NCAC BASEBALL SQUAD ANNOUNCED;
May 14, 2013
WOOSTER'S REESE AND WHITE EARN TOP INDIVIDUAL HONORS
CLEVELAND -- Wooster junior second baseman Eddie Reese (Canfield, OH/Cardinal Mooney) and Wooster senior left-handed pitcher Keenan White (Dublin, OH/Dublin Coffman) have been named the Player and Pitcher of the Year, respectively, to highlight the 2013 All-North Coast Athletic Conference baseball selections. Reese, who makes his second-straight appearance on the All-NCAC First team, currently owns a .365 batting average (58-of-159) and leads the league in slugging percentage (.686), runs batted in (51), doubles (19), home runs (8), total bases (109) and walks (29). Reese helped guide the Fighting Scots to the 2013 NCAC Baseball title with a 3-0 record at the 2013 NCAC Baseball Tournament and will look to keep the momentum going into the 2013 NCAA Terre Haute Regional which will be contested this week, May 15-19. White makes his debut on the All-NCAC squad as a member of the first team in 2013. He has been the ace of the Fighting Scots' pitching staff this spring, posting a perfect 12-0 record on the hill with a 2.38 ERA. In 72.0 total innings of work this season, he has allowed just 19 earned runs on 62 hits to go along with 75 strikeouts. Joining Reese as a repeat selection from the 2012 All-NCAC first-team was Wabash junior J.T. Miller (Wildwood, MO/ Lafayette). Allegheny freshman third baseman
Joe Killian (Springdale, PA/Springdale) was named the Newcomer of the Year by vote of the league coaches. In 41 games played this season, Killian posted a .364 batting average (48-of-132) with two triples, 29 RBI and 30 runs scored. Killian also made his debut appearance on an All-NCAC squad as an honorable-mention selection. Oberlin head coach Adrian Abrahamowicz earned Coach of the Year honors by vote of the league coaches after leading the Yeomen to a school record 22 wins this spring. Abrahamowicz, who earns his first career NCAC Coach of the Year honor, owns a career record of 54-68 in three years at the helm of the Oberlin baseball program.

Looks like the first team pitcher has a bias towards Juniors and Seniors. Colgain was pretty clearly Denison's ace this year. He had a better ERA than Duxbury and started and pitched more innings. He also had more strikeouts. He did give up more walks.

Congratulations to all. Good to see Oberlins coach get the nod for coach of the year, I did not realize he has only been there three years.

Yeah and the painful thing is that 7 of TMC's 12 runs are freaking unearned as a result of 3 Wooster errors.

Bishopleftiesdad · May 16, 2013, 02:20:43 PM

Good luck Scotts!!!

2-0 scots top of 5.

Hiram's President stepping down. Will this lead to a change in their philosophy towards athletics?

Wooster wins 3-2. No 2 and q this year. Congratulations Scots.

ScotsFan · May 16, 2013, 04:52:17 PM

After giving up 20 yesterday, the Scots come back today and hold PSU-B scoreless thru 8. Behrend finally broke thru in the 9th with their first hit with runners in scoring position as they had left 12 stranded prior to their 2 out rbi's in the 9th.

Wooster also finally got an NCAA post season win for the first time in 4 years!

The Scots will now face the loser of the Manchester v. W&J game going on right now tomorrow at 10 am. W&J is up early in that one 1-0 in the top of the 2nd btw...

Well just because the Spring season is over does not mean that Baseball ends for these young men. Most play in Summer collegiate Wood bat leagues. A few I am aware of from the NCAC are:

Kyle Colgain: P Dension Gaithersburg Giants Cal Ripkin
Ian Barry: P Denison Settlers Great Lakes
Connor Murphy: P Denison Settlers Great Lakes
Charles Cooper: P OWU Settlers Great Lakes
Blake Adkins: P OWU Cobras Collegiate Ohio Independent
Collin Finn: C OWU Cobras Collegiate Ohio Independent
Jack Miller: C OWU Cobras Collegiate Ohio Independent
Michael Jeffers: P Kenyon Cooperstown Hawkyes Perfect Game
Nate Lotze: IF Kenyon Cooperstown Hawkyes Perfect Game

I am sure there are others, as I find them I will post and give stats etc.

Ian Barry and Connor Murphy both pitched last night for the Settlers:
