BB: ODAC: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[hasanova]

Looks like Bridgewater needs to work on its kicking game. Can't afford to give up those PATs.

Bridgewater site is out of date -- last box April 20.

E&H site is worse, last was April 18.

ODAC site doesn't have it either.

Yeah, I know -  I had already checked all three sites myself.  The ODAC site will probably have it later today.  Maybe BC baseball needs to take a few lessons from kid and football on up-to-date information.  lol

Fellas, fellas ... be nice.  Mr. Cox and Mr. Graybeal have lives you know.  I know, your response will be - but they have a job, too.

I got the scores from our head coach.  He didn't know if 34 was an ODAC record, though.  He did say he played everyone, I'm sure the box score will show it (once it's posted).

Bridgewater does, however, have the stats posted.  Here's the 34-4 game.

34 runs?? apparently E&H likes to use little league pitchers!

Hey now, your Lynchburg boys set an ODAC record with 39 against St. Paul's last season.

Not to mention our 31 hits doesn't come close to your ODAC record of 38 versus Randolph-Macon, also a year ago.

I was only kidding, kid.  I know how busy these guys are - especially with family responsibilities and multiple sports on a weekend.  It's not an enviable task to publish all this information in a timely manner and they certainly do a better job than I would!

im not "dissing" the offense, more so the apparent lack of any quality pitching by E&H.

I knew you were.

Cox and Graybeal are good guys who, compared to most Division III schools, have limited resources (both person wise and technology wise).  Not to mention Cox isn't required or expected to be the first to post the result of an away game, especially one on a Sunday afternoon.  If I were him, I'd be mowing the lawn, playing with the kids and/or watching some sports on the tube.

I will say it is odd that E&H didn't post the scores until this morning at like 10 am.  It's a home game, you're there anyway (I assume) doing the stats/announcing ... why not, at the very least, throw the final scores up on the web?

E&H is by far the worst in the ODAC with getting scores, box scores, and stats posted on the website in a timely fashion. a lot of the time there is at least a 24-hour delay, if not more, before they post scores and box scores on their wbesite, and that's for home games, which is quite sad, especially during the middle bball season when the only two sports they have going on is basketball. not asking for a written press release or anything, just a least a final score shortly after the game, which shouldnt take any more than just a few minutes i'd imagine, or at least contact the SID for the visiting team so they cang et it on their website.

Thanks for the stats Kid.

Did you see what I saw? Yes a kid named Rudy went 2-4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI's. Way to go RM!!!

He must be working on those wheels or trying to knock the fences down with that bat and little white ball.

Does anyone know what it costs to attend a session of this year's ODAC baseball tournament in Lynchburg?

Sorry I didn't inquire about this earlier, but I contacted the SID for the conference today, and he said that tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for college age and under.  A tournament pass is $20.

No problem.  Thanks.  I won't have time to go until a weekend session anyway.

The ODAC championship baseball website just posted the first result;

Game 1 (11 am start): No. 1 Bridgewater defeated No. 6 Washington & Lee, 6-2

Here is the box score; http://www.odaconline.com/odacbase06_1.htm

Looks like it took awhile for Bridgewater's bats to get going.  Ricky Read pitched another gem (and complete game) to run his record to 8-0.

Bridgewater will play the loser of VWC/R-MC on Friday at 3 pm.  W&L will play the loser of H-SC/GC at 11 am on Friday.

[Matt Barnhart (kid)]

Looks like, who I thought were, the top two pitchers in the ODAC took losses on day one of the tournament.

R-MC's Beazley pitched a CG, but gave up four runs on 11 hits (however, he did strike out 14).  GC's Whigham was on the mound for only 3.1 innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits, only striking out two.

Looks like Mr. Schoenholtz (H-SC) is back ... pitched a CG gem, giving up only one run on nine hits.

Day 2 - Friday, April 28

Game 4 (11 am): No. 6 Washington & Lee (0-1) vs. No. 5 Guilford (0-1)
Game 5 (3 pm): No. 1 Bridgewater (1-0) vs. No. 4 Randolph-Macon (0-1)
Game 6 (7 pm): No. 2 Hampden-Sydney (1-0) vs. No. 3 Virginia Wesleyan (1-0)

Final GC 5, W&L 4 (11 innings)

Guilford CF Joe John hit a 2-out bases loaded walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th as the Quakers eliminate the W&L Generals, 5-4, in the ODAC tournament.  When looking at the boxscore, it seems the Generals scored two in top of the 9th to take a 4-3 lead, but the Quakers sent it to extra innings with a run in the bottom half of the 9th.  Whew!  GC improves to 24-17 and lives to play another day, while W&L most likely concludes their season at 18-15-1.  Guilford's next opponent depends on the outcome of today's other two games.
