BB: ODAC: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[hasanova]

3/28 Guilford over Southern Virginia 11-6 in Martinsville.  The Quakers play a couple of games there each season versus SVU or Ferrum.  Chad Boone with a 3-run triple and Ricky Seabolt with a 2-run homer.  Evidently, former Methodist Monarch Chris Raines pitched fairly well for GC, but the bullpen got the win.  Quakers were aided by SVU walks, errors and hit batsmen.  I mentioned earlier that Guilford would face Greensboro from the USASAC tomorrow at War Memorial Stadium, but it looks as though that game has been changed to April 6.   GC now 16-9 while SVU falls to 5-14.

As expected, Washington & Lee (13-6-1, 6-2) gave Bridgewater (16-5-1, 7-1) a run for their money.

The Eagles scored three runs in the bottom of the 8th inning to take an 8-7 win against the Generals today.

Game story posted first on W&L's Baseball Fan Site.

Actually Kid I believe that was the 3/22/06 game you are referencing. Same result today but not without controversy per the above listed site.

W&L FALLS TO BRIDGEWATER 11-10
IN UMPIRE SHORTENED GAME

LEXINGTON, VA--The Generals had Bridgewater reeling, and on the ropes, scoring 5 runs in the bottom of the seventh to pull within one run before umpires called the game "due to darkness" Tuesday. According to WLUR sports announcers, there was daylight to spare when the umpires stopped play at the behest of Bridgewater's coach.

I knew I was going to get into trouble when I didn't see a date posted with the release.  Ugh.

[Matt Barnhart (kid)]

Mr. Laubscher or Mr. Hodgson did a nice job with their press release.  Mentioned the game was called because of darkness, but that was it.

Very professional, unlike the fan site's release:

"According to WLUR sports announcers, there was daylight to spare when the umpires stopped play at the behest of Bridgewater's coach."

lol, yeah, I'm sure it was a case where Kendall was nervous his Eagles would relinquish their lead and made the umpires call the game with daylight to spare because of it.  Give me a break.

Should be a really nice experience for the R-MC players!

Now that should be sweet.  Have no problems playing bigger programs.  Hope we don't get cuffed around too much.

VCU will have live video, audio and stats for tonight's R-MC baseball game at 7:00 p.m. at The Diamond. 

I believe there is a fee for the video, but audio and stats should be free.

For any R-MC football fans, you may recognize Terry Sisisky on the broadcast.  He does VCU baseballl and men's basketball, but we are lucky to have him as one of our football announcers!

Here's the link to VCU multimedia:

I'm surprised he doesn't do VCU football.  I hear they never lose.

Oh that's funny kid, reallllly funny. Much like the shirts the CNU bookstore sold before CNU started football, "Undefeated Since 1961."

I also heard that before hand, VCU was going to come down to CNU and play, but I think they were waiting for a decision from RMC and they hadn't gotten one and it was almost too late to even schedule a game, but that's great for Macon, I hope they perform well!!

Jono Brooks hit a solo HR over the leftfield fence for the Eagles.

4/1 Tigers and Quakers split a couple of wild games at Sydney.  HSC won the 1st 5-4 with a walk off bases loaded single to break a 4-4 tie and Guilford won the 2nd 14-13 after trailing 10-2 after one inning and 12-2 after 3 innings.  Quakers got a 3-run homer in their last at bat to take the lead and then held the Tigers scoreless in the bottom half of the inning.  HSC is now 6-4 in the ODAC and GC is 5-5, 17-10.

Congrats to the Eagles for their No. 29 ranking in the latest ABCA poll.
