BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

[Pops33]

DePauw opens its season today vs. Greenville.  Wabash (Transylvania) and Allegheny (John Carroll) open tomorrow with the 1st 2 games of a 3 game series.  DePauw also plays Mary Hardin-Baylor and Rhodes for a total of 3 games this weekend.

Time to play some ball.

Is it then safe to assume that the full round robin will be a pair of 9's?

By the way, BLD I am not sure how I feel about OWU going with that Nationals 'W' logo.  It's a cool logo, but it seems like everyone is using it right now.  I guess if the players like it that's all that matters though. 

They have used for a while now. The last two years they have gone withbthe old school Black Block W on a red cap. I much prefer that. I hope the stick with it. The players I have talked to prefer the red cap and block W.

Wabash Lost 2 of three from transy, in close games before laying the beat down Saturday and Sunday:
6-8  -   http://sports.wabash.edu/boxscore.aspx?path=baseball&id=1630
11-12 - http://sports.wabash.edu/boxscore.aspx?path=baseball&id=1631
23-2 - http://sports.wabash.edu/boxscore.aspx?path=baseball&id=1632

It is early and Coach Martin probably still needs to get some things worked out. Team is still very young. In game one they started 5 Soph.I did not take the time to look at the other lineups.

The gators split with John Carrol 10-11 and 6-7

Depauws record stands at 3-0 with wins against Rhodes, 7-5, MHB 11-4, and Greenville 6-5.

OWU had a scrimmage against Ohio Dominican. And starts play March 04 against Marietta.

Nice!  I see more and more schools that are doing this.  It is unfortunate that some of them charge you to watch the game online.  Hopefully, OWU will not fall into this category as I am looking forward to seeing how they replace the seniors from last year.  Will it be a rebuild or a reload?

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Thanks Pops, I will go to what games that I can. I still know a couple of players on the team. However it will be nice to know I can watch as well. OWU  does not charge for any of their other sports, so I doubt they do for baseball. I am anxious to see if it is a quality. Broadcast. And who will announce.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

OWU starts on 3-4 in Marietta. Just a few days away, I hope the weather cooperates.

A junior and a freshman vie for the vacant starting SS. They did lose a lot but they still have some rounds in the chamber.

OWU at Marrietta postponed, they will try again tomorrow.

Does Allegheny not go on spring break for another 2 weeks??  I was looking at their schedule and they're playing Case now and then don't play again for ages. 

Also, unrelated but I am watching the game against Case and the Spartans are sporting quite possible the worst uniforms I've seen.  Navy jerseys with navy pants.  They look like a freaking softball team!  Just terrible. 

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Dr. I don't know abou Gheny's schedule. HoweverbI want to give you a plus one for the uniform comment, but I already got you once today, and I cannot for another 24 hours.

That's what the 'Gheny guy said in the broadcast. Another schedule quirk has CWRU starting the season with 19 straight away or neutral site games. First home game is March 31.

About the unis, to my eyes, I like them better than navy over white pants, but do like navy over dark gray which they have worn.  I'd prefer traditional white /gray  unis, but that ship sailed long ago. These mimic the football team's.

OWU losing to Marietta 3-0.
