Wooster defeated Rowan 7-5.

Wooster defeated Rowan 7-5.

Wooster actually trailed 5-1 in this contest and 5-2 in the 8th when they rallied to plate 4 runs (3 with 3 outs) to take the lead!  Wooster's John Quimby added a monster HR in the 9th for insurance!  Freshman Matt Barnes threw 2 innings of scoreless relief to gain his 2nd win on the young season.  He started and threw 4 scoreless innings in a win over Greenville on Monday.    Wooster is now 5-0 on their spring trip. 

Next up is Transylvania this afternoon at 3:00.  The Pios could be another good test as they are off to an 8-2 start so it should be a good game!  No radio link that I could find either.  It looks as though that Rowan game is the only one that will be broadcast from down in Port Charlotte.  I don't really understand why WQKT would send a crew down to FLA just to broadcast one game?  Oh well...

I see Transy is off to a good start under an interim coach. They're 8-2.

Not sure on the quality of teams they've played.

I'd like to see Wooster's defense improve. I know they're probably moving some guys around, but they've had too many errors.

Keep winning.

I saw a plea on one of the other boards to keep posting about your team even if they are not winning in order to keep some balance to the board.

Well as painful as it is to say.... Wabash blows a 7-0 lead and falls to DePauw 8-7.  This is the 3rd loss already this season where the LG's have lost in the final at bat.
Wabash record falls to 3-7-1.

Bash,

Definitely keep us posted on the goings of Wabash.  That sucks to lose to DePauw like that!

Wooster goes to 6-0 today downing Transy 7-2.  No box score available so I can't say who picked up the win, but I'm guessing it was Trappuzzano.

Wooster stays perfect on their spring break trip defeating OWU 10-1!

[ScotsFan]

Wooster continues to have a very impressive trip to FLA remaining undefeated with an 8-7 win over preseason  #5 UWSP in 11 innings!

+1 Bash 6-4-3,

As tough as that may have been, your valuable service is still appreciated.  To acknowledge that Wabash was not the winner of that game is difficult.

Wabash dropped 2 of 3 games this weekend. They lost to Tri-State 8-6 early Saturday, then beat UW-Platteville 4-3 in the nightcap.

On Sunday, a 9th inning comeback came up short against Platteville and Wabash fell 7-6.

The LGs are 4-9-1 on the season and play Anderson next on Tuesday.

3 runs with 3 outs, that's impressive .

Any word on why Case @ Denison was cancelled yesterday?  Was it weather?

Is it totally cancelled, or will they make it up?

Wooster extended its record to 11-0 yesterday with a 5-4 win over Messiah in 11 innings.  A day off today is followed by back-to-back league doubleheaders against NCAC eastern division foe Allegheny.  These four contests, which would have been home games for the Scots, are the team's final games in Port Charlotte.

Some boxscores are up on the Scots website, but some are still missing, and the cumulative stats which had been there earlier are now gone.  Still, it seems from the game scores that Wooster is getting some very nice production from their freshmen pitchers, which is very important for their continued success this season. 

The Scots are only allowing 3.24 runs per 9 innings.  If even only 6 of the 30 runs that the team has surrendered are unearned that would put Wooster's ERA under 3.

[BASH6-4-3]

The conference games get under way this weekend.  Besides the Wooster-Allegheny matchup in FL, Wabash travels to Denison in a ket NCAC West contest.  Denison and OWU have given the Little Giants fits in the past.  A good showing here for Wabash would really set things up to be interesting the rest of the season.

In a mid-week tuneup, Wabash improves to 5-9-1 with an extra inning 8-7 win against Anderson.  Another game settled in the last at bat for the LG's, something that occurs almost on a daily basis this season.

Wooster extended its record to 11-0 yesterday with a 5-4 win over Messiah in 11 innings. 

This also matches Wooster's best start since 1995!   That's pretty impressive considering the fact that Wooster has fielded some pretty darn good teams since '95.

The Scots are only allowing 3.24 runs per 9 innings.  If even only 6 of the 30 runs that the team has surrendered are unearned that would put Wooster's ERA under 3.

I'm guessing that would be a low estimate of unearned runs.  Fielding has been  a real sore spot for Wooster for some time now.  For as good as their hitting and pitching has been in recent years, their fielding has gone downhill over the past couple of seasons and doesn't seem to be getting better so far this season.  It's funny that in the season previews that the questions seemed to be surrounding pitching.  Maybe those questions should have been surrounding fielding??

This Wabash team might just take over the knickname 'cardiac kids' as they seem to be giving their supporters heartstoppers in each and every game, whether they win or lose.
