No updates since 3/31 wonder whats up with the site.

New website, BLD!  I'll be honest, I haven't had the time to give it an extensive workout for content, but the updated aesthetics are nice.

Thanks Wally.
OWU takes two from Witt.
12-1 and 10-3. If they can sweep, they will have 4th place wrapped up.

Dension takes 2 from Wabash on Saturday. Both games went extra.

OWU splits with Witt today to take 3 this weekend.
Wabash and Denison split.

Wabash and Denison split on Sunday. Denison takes the series 3-1.

All 4 games were amazing 1 run games with the first two going extra and the last two being decided in the last inning. Two evenly matched and well coached teams.

Really good series in C'ville over the weekend.  Definitely wouldn't mind seeing Wabash and Denison square off in Chillicothe with a trip to the tournament on the line. 

But first, West division standings update.
- Denison is out in front of everybody at 11-3 in league play.  They've got just a makeup DH left with DPU on Wednesday.  I think Denison has clinched a spot in the crossover already and can wrap up the division with one win on Wednesday.  DePauw is 6-4 in the league and could win the division if they sweep Wednesday and their weekender with Witt. 
- Wabash's situation has gotten a little messy now.  At 7-5, Wabash can sweep OWU to get to 11-5, which could be good enough to get back up over DPU for second.  A 3-1 weekend means 10-6 and that gets tricky.  I wouldn't count on DePauw doing much worse than 4-2 this week. 

Interesting final week in the West.  Every game is big.

Denison wins first game today (game 3 of the series) 3-1. Murphy goes the distance to get the W.

OWU beating Capital 13-3

[Bishopleftiesdad]

OWU wins game vs. Capital. 15-4.

In the west, Denison wraps up 1 seed for the crossover. A couple of big games in the east as Wooster and Allegheny face off with the number one seed on the line.
Hiram and Kenyon face off, If Kenyon sweeps they can move into fourth. If Hiram sweeps they move into third and Oberlin moves drops to fourth. Oberlin is done with conference play so they cannot help themselves.

Second third and fourth in the west are still up for grabs. Depauw plays Witt, If they sweep and Wabash loses one they take second. Depauw sweeping Witt would not be a surprise Witt has a staff ERA of 6.47. If Wabash sweeps OWU they take second because, I believe, they own the tiebreaker over Depauw. OWU has an outside shot at second, if they can sweep Wabash and Witt sweeps Depauw. Witt still has a shot to play a meaningful game on the cross over weekend. If they can take three from Depauw and and Wabash can sweep OWU, then Witt takes fourth. OWU has to take two this weekend to guarantee a meaningful spot in the cross over weekend.

Still some meaningful baseball in the NCAC this weekend.

Wabash and OWU split today.

Game one OWU wins 14 to 8.
Game to goes to Wabash 5-0. J.T miller is a very good pitcher. He goes 9 innings.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

pretty much every thing is set in the west, except Wabash and Depauw fighting for second,

• Denison
• Depauw
• Wabash
• OWU
• Witt

[Bishopleftiesdad]

In the east, The top four are decided, there is still some jockeying for position to be done.

Both Wooster and Gheny have a chance for one.
Hiram still has a chance to tie Oberlin for three but I do not know who owns the tie breaker. I assume it is Oberlin. Oberlin and Hiram split the season. Oberlin has a higher win percentage by one game, If Hiram takes two tomorrow.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Wabash and OWU split this weekend.
OWU 14-8
LG 0-5
OWU 4-1
LG 10-9 (10 innings)

OWU goes to Wooster next weekend for the crossover.
Wabash goes to Gheny
Depauw goes to Oberlin
Denison goes to Hiram.

Kenyon and Witt play each other in the final cross over game.

I see the West having another tough yrear in the crossover series. I would not be surprised to see only one west team in the Tourney.

Denison and Depauw host; not travel.

It's baseball. Anything can and often does happen. The Wabash series will be a good one.
