Sorry, I was told that JMU and BC both had graduation today but it was not true. I no longer live in Bridgewater.

I can definitely verify JMU graduated as it took me 15 extra minutes to get across town to work this afternoon. The sights were nice though.

Congrats to my 2nd Cousin who got her degree at JMU today:

What I would like to know is how do you have two players at the same position and name one pitcher of the year and one player of the year?? A pitcher is the player of the year in the conference, yet they are saying he isnt even the best pitcher in the conference! I don't get it!

I am guessing that Read also hits... probably the second best pitcher in the league and hits enough to make him the MVP.

Definitely the top two pitchers in the ODAC, and two of the better hitters as well. Read did have twice as many at bats than did Beazley (Read played in 41 of 42 games, while Beazley played in 26 of 36), which is perhaps what gave Read Player OTY and Beazley Pitcher OTY.

I'll say what others might be thinking. There is no clock controversy in baseball.

Congrats to both teams.

Matt Barnhart (kid) · May 17, 2006, 01:43:32 PM

Wow, congrats to the Marlins for flexing some ODAC muscle against No. 5-ranked Salisbury;

Way to go ODAC and USA-South:

Va-Wesleyan, BC, and North Carolina Wesleyan all win today.

Jeremybozz · May 18, 2006, 11:11:28 AM

BC beat NC Wesleyan 4-3 in 11 Innings in the 2 teams only meeting this year thus far.

Matt Barnhart (kid) · May 18, 2006, 03:35:44 PM

Today's Rowan-VWC game is showing how nice of a day Ricky Read had yesterday.

It's in the top of the 7th, and Rowan is up 17-4 on the Marlins. If it wasn't just Read, then thank goodness this Prof offense didn't show up yesterday.

Jeremybozz · May 18, 2006, 09:45:19 PM

7-5 NC Wesleyan in the 9th with BC at bat and men on 1st and 2nd with one out.
The game is restarted at 9 AM.

Jeremybozz · May 19, 2006, 12:09:43 PM

NC Wesleyan wins 7-5. BC must win the 1 PM game today.
