BB: ODAC: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[A.G.]

LC splits with VWC on Sunday.  Great pitching all day by both teams.  LC wins game one 2-1, and drops the 2nd 3-1.

H-S Tigers spilt with EM yesterday  ...Hadra pitched another complete game as the Tigers took game one 8-1. They dropped game two 8-7 when the lost a 6 -1 lead after they gave up a grand slam in the 6th and a 3 run shot in the 7th. Both homers came after 2 out errors to extend the innings. Big game with W&L this Wed...Win and they can split with Roanoke to qualify for the tourney...lose and they have to take 2 from the Maroons.

[A.G.]

Unlike most years, the final weekend actually means something for the teams.  LC, VWC, BC, and R-MC all have a mathematical shot at the top seed.  Hard to imagine how a 4-way tie at the top would shake out in terms of seeding.  LC has the easiest in simply needing a split with BC.

[A.G.]

Two big games in the ODAC today.  H-SC hosts W&L, and R-MC travels to VWC.  If H-SC loses, they will have to sweep Roanoke on Saturday to make the tournament.  The winner of VWC and R-MC will still have a mathematical shot at the top seed.

LC wins game one vs BC 3 to 0.  Devlin outdualed Shaeffer in a 1 hr, 22 min game.  LC clinches top seed. 

it helps Roanoke because all RC needs to do is  split vs HSC to get in the tourney.

Awesome, Devlin has been big for LC all season, no surprise he comes through to get the win!

Prior to today's game, Devlin had a 0.87 ERA in 41.4 innings, allowing 30 hits and four earned runs while walking just 10 and striking out 26 with a .200 BAA. 

I smell the title of All-ODAC pitcher on his resume here soon...

[A.G.]

LC sweeps with a 7 to 6 come from behind win in 10.

Sweet add.  South Carolina Men seeking woman. 

[A.G.]

A.G.... Since H-SC split with Roanoke they both ended up with a 8-10 conference record.....Do you know what the criteria is to determine who will be the number 6 seed?

[LCasid]

HSC is the 6th seed, face LC at 11 am on thursday

[A.G.]

From the ODAC List-serve...and I have no idea how H-SC got the bid since Roanoke had the better record against the #1 seed (which is how most conferences handle the tie-breaker)

the tie-breaker is done by a points system. beating the #1 team is worth X points, #2 X-1 points, #3 X-3 points, etc. Whichever team has the highest number of points wins the tiebreaker. Having a better record vs. the #1 isn't the tiebreaker.
