BB: ODAC: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[narch]

I know Narch and myself would like to see the tigers win out from here.

sure would...with the monarchs 2-0 vs. hsc, it would be nice for them to have a winning regional record, if nothing else - of course, since mu is 1-1 vs. lynchburg (with a chance to go to 2-1 or 1-2), 1-0 vs. b'water, 2-0 vs. rmc and 1-0 vs. vwc, i'll be rooting for them all to win lots of games down the stretch, as well...there might be a conflict of interest if/when they play each other, though...not sure who i'll root for in that case...

The Tigers took two from Ferrum yesterday, 9-0 & 5-3. In game one Soph John West followed his 7 inning 1 run peformance against CNU with a complete game 8 hit shut out. Todd Harrell continued his hot streak with 2 hits & 3 rbi's. Fr Zach Harrelson add 3 hits and 3 rbi's. In game two Fr Adam Hodges pick up his 1st collegiate win with a 5 hit peformance. David Toney doubled in a run in the 1st inning and then hit a 3 run jack to give the Tigers a 4-2 lead in the 5th. Toneys homer was his 7th for the year. Zach Harrelson up his BA to 346 with 2 more hits. The Tigers improved their record to 15-19 and will play Lynchburg this Tuesday. Testosterone levels will be off the chart.

Rain played havoc with much of the ODAC schedule.  VWC and LC is postponed to next Sunday; RMC and E&H will now play on Monday...meaning the 3 teams at the top of the standings have a very busy 7 day period coming up.

[A.G.]

The conspiracy theorists are having a field day over in the USAS forum about the CNU/GC game 2 being cancelled a week ago...well, is there anyone in the ODAC forum who might have the scoop as to why R-MC @ VWC is being postponed for Tuesday:

[NCWC]

The coaches knew everyone was going to stay up and watch the basketball game

[A.G.]

The LC vs H-SC game rescheduled for Weds...meaning the Hornets now have 7 games over the next 6 games (with the scheduled Fri DH vs NCWC now a single game).  It is setting up for a fun week of at least watching some good baseball.

The VWC vs R-MC game I think is now on the books for next Tuesday.

A.G.....The Hornets took the Tigers out of the game real quick with 5 in the 1st three innings and never look back with a 8-3 victory. Jeff Taylor had another fine day with 3 hits. Soph Nick Price had 2 hits for the Tigers. Looks like Lynchburg is the real deal this year.

Ronnie LaBrie and Jon Crews of LC are 1-2 in the latest STATSTUD rankings.  This is a pretty cool website which tracks all the players in all level of college ball.

Ronnie Lebrie is listed 3 times on this list.  How exactly are these rankings determined?

[A.G.]

LOL...I actually noticed that.  It is a "beta" program so they're working out the kinks.  Others are listed multiple times, as well.

[narch]

labrie can rake, but he's a defensive liability at ss 

that's an interesting site...seems to use similar metrics to many of the fantasy baseball sites

LC gets a huge regional win today with its 11-10 win in 10 innings over NCWC.  Freshman Daniel Haugh's 3rd hit of the day plated Kyle Bradley with the walk-off in the 10th.

(and, for what its worth, with Bradley's day at the plate, the entire LC infield is now batting .400 or better).

Huge win for LC yesterday.

Unfortunately, LC split with Roanoke today...losing 4-3 and taking the nightcap 15-8 behind 4 home runs, 2 by DH Matt Painter.

[Anyone hear what VWC and LC did in their twinbill today?]
