Game 2 underway. 9-6 top of ninth.

Wooster takes game 2.

Denison winning second game, 4-2. Depauw has 3 more errors.

Denison won game 2 by a final of 7-2. Some solid pitching and defense. Amazing that they could even play given the field conditions a day earlier. Turf would be a nice addition. Denison plays Ohio Northern today. The Wednesday game against John Carroll is flushed. I'm guessing the Monday games stressed the staff and they want to save pitching for weekend?

Wooster beat Kenyon 25-14 in game 1 today.
Wooster won game 2 14-6.

No surprise Wooster had 6 HR's on the day. The wind is howling (blowing out).

Wooster moves to 12-4 (4-0)
Kenyon drops to 8-10 (0-4)

The LGs got two out of three from Wooster this weekend in Chillicothe.  JT Miller went the distance and scattered six hits in game 1; a 3-1 win for Wabash.  Wooster rallied in Saturday's nightcap with 4 runs in the 8th to get game 2 5-2.  Clint Scarborough walked off with a 2-run HR in the bottom of the 12th yesterday to give Wabash the 8-6 win.  Looked like a really well played and competitive series over the weekend.

BLD, saw you guys are going through a horrendous streak. What's been the problem? I have been too busy fending off attacks by Spence over on the OAC board to look too much at box scores. If you need an ear to vent to, we are here for you.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

It has been a frustrating season. Quite a few injuries at important positions. We are on our three or four deep in some spots. Not enough pitching, Injuries again. Team is very young. I feel very bad for this years seniors.

Bishops---Good luck this weekend against Denison. Weather looks pretty good. Maybe they get all 4 in this time. Would enjoy the opportunity to say hello if you are making the trip.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

I am planning on it, Son is scheduled to pitch first game.

I would love to meet, I will wear a blue Cinci reds cap.

[TexasDad]

I'll be in the red Denison hat

See you Saturday

LGs split with DePauw today  2-1 loss in game 1 followed by a 6-2 win in game 2.

Why are we playing games with different lengths? I don't care if we play four 7s in a weekend of three 9s, but for the love of Ernie Banks pick one and stick with it. Six more outs in game 1 would have been nice.

Walter,
In four years of watching my son play ball, division games have always been 7 & 9 innings. Tomorrow's games will be 7 & 9 innings.  They schedule a 7 in the event that the first game goes extra innings.  Last weeks games with Wooster were different, both NCAC teams one from the East, one from the West.

The 7 & 9 thing is a recent development (2012). Prior to that it was all 7s. I'd prefer to see the weekend series be three 9 inning games like the rest of civilization.  Grown up baseball games are 9 innings long. We should be doing that.

Wally, the OAC had played 7 and 9 DH's for a good while before going to 2 9 inning games this year. I fully agree, it is silly to play 2 games in 1 day with 2 different sets of rules. Much prefer the 9 inning games. Let's play all the baseball we can get.

That had to be a historic victory today for the Terriers over Wooster. Wonder when the last time they got a win over the Scots? Guess they made them mad, after losing 1-0 Wooster creamed them 26-1 in the 2nd game.
