4/5 Maroons top Guilford tonight at RC, 13-7. 

Matt Barnhart (kid)

Big game tonight, with No. 29 Bridgewater (19-6-1) traveling to Ferrum (22-8-1).

It looks like either Matt Nolen (4-0, 6.16 ERA0) or Ricky Read (5-0, 3.68 ERA) will start for the Eagles.

Last time these two teams met, Bridgewater surrendered a 6-2 lead heading into the 7th inning, allowing Ferrum to tie the game (7-7). Nolen started for the Eagles, facing 25 batters and striking out seven, but also giving up four runs on five hits.

The Panthers are 14-3 at home, with the Eagles losing five of their six games on the road.

This will be a good test of the Eagles' national ranking. Bridgewater, with the ODAC's best record at 10-1, will then host Randolph-Macon in a doubleheader this weekend [April 8]. The Yellow Jackets (18-9) currently have the conference's second-best record at 8-3.

Looks like the offense wasn't there today for the Eagles.  Excellent pitching, allowing Ferrum only five hits (which led to four runs in the 4-2 loss), but Bridgewater left 13 on base.  That usually won't get it done.

Hopefully they can rebound versus R-MC this weekend.  If they can win both games of the doubleheader, that would give them a three to four game cushion on the rest of the ODAC.

Looks like BC saved their horses for the weekend Macon series.

BC 13-0  game 1
BC 2-0  game 2

Looks like a top seed in the ODAC is a lock, now lets do something with it this year.

You're right.  Our last five ODAC games are against the bottom three teams (combined conference winning percentage; .216).

OW.  Good for Bridgewater, bad for us.

Yes, ODAC tournament is at Lynchburg's City Stadium, which isn't a bad place to see a game.  They redid the stadium a few years ago.

Is the format for the ODAC tournament still the top six teams qualify?  If so, it looks like it will a close race the next 12 days, especially between GC, LC and RC (their website says they are 5-7).  Also, if one of the 8-5 teams falters, they could even drop out of the top six.

RC (their website says they are 5-7

ODAC website had them at 4-5 prior to this weekend, and I believe they only had two games - losing to VWC twice.  That's what I posted my updated standings off of.  I guess they were just off by a win (until now).

kid, I can see how that would cause a discrepancy.  It looks as though they were late showing RC's April 6 win over E&H.  I believe the ODAC site now shows the up-to-date standings as of this morning with BC 12-1; RMC, W&L, HSC & VWC 8-5; LC & GC at 6-7; RC 5-7; E&H 3-11 and EMU 1-12.  This matches the six ODAC games still on RC's schedule and the four shown by E&H.  Everyone else has five games to go.

Anyone know the tiebreaker system for the ODAC?

In the standings posted below (or above, depending on how you have your forum settings), with the four-way tie for second, am I safe in assuming that they look at head-to-head, for instance, H-SC vs R-MC/VWC/W&L?

If so, it looks like - if the tournament started today - these would be the 1 through 5 seed:

1 - BC
2 - R-MC (2-1 vs H-SC/VWC/W&L)
3 - W&L (1-1 vs R-MC/H-SC/VWC)
4 - H-SC (2-2 vs R-MC/VWC/W&L)
5 - VWC (2-3 vs R-MC/H-SC/W&L)

If that's the case, who would be the sixth seed between GC and LC (seeing that they split the regular season series)?

Once I know the seeding process, I'll be able to post a tournament seeding update after each day of games.
