Narch...who are "the" players to watch for on MU this weekend (other than your 3B who is on fire)?
quinn has a really nice stroke, eudy can rake when he's on, carter produces nice line drives and has some real speed, davis is clutch as is proctor and russell is solid and pesky at the plate - none of the monarch arms will "wow" you, but they throw strikes and keep the ball park (for the most part)

scottie...please tell me you haven't fallen into the misconception that the most significant measure of academic quality is sat scores for the incoming class - it is interesting to note that mu, su, meredith, mbc and cnu seem like they'd fit right into the odac from a "quality of student attracted standpoint" - from that standpoint, methodist is certainly very comparable to vwc, ehc, bc and lc - i'm also certain you've misprinted the lower portion of the math mid 50% for hsc...or someone at hsc doesn't know how to report statistics - mid 50's MUST be an attainable score, and, well...515 isn't possible :)

Hornets7...congrates to Jeff as he was named ODAC player of the week...Jeff went 9/16 on the week (.562) with 10 runs scored...645 OBA and 4-4 in the stolen base department...not bad numbers since the competition he faced this week wasn't shabby...Methodist, NC Wesleyan, and Frostburg St...as a matter of fact the team really stepped up and hit the ball well.

Thanks. 

I'm still shaking my head at the entire LC offensive output, which, to be honest going into Saturday, had been (dare I say), rather offensive with a team batting average hovering around the mendoza line.  The entire line-up got hot the final four games.

Some of you may have seen this before but if not....have a look! It very interesting to see how much money these schools contribute to athletic programs ie. coaches, assistants, budgets. I know that some of you participate in the hoops board. If you feel it's worthy, go ahead and post the link over there too as I would imagine this kind of public information could stir up quite a bit.

Looks like the ODAC is not doing well over all in competition outside of the conference. Are there too many newbies that need to get their feet wet or is it just a down year? The Dixie or USAS or whatever their called now looks pretty impressive.

A.G.

I think the USASAC is much deeper.  HSC traditionally starts slow, as does BC.  LC and VWC should hold their own.  Those should be the top 4, and then I expect a drop-off...but I have no idea what W&L has this year.

Jon Crews and Cameron Grant go a combined 7 for 7 in a game one 7-3 win over Alvernia as the teams split a DH Saturday at Fox Field.  Pitcher DW Moore struck out 5 in 5+ IP to gain the win.  Alvernia took the nightcap 3-0.  The two teams complete their series tomorrow with a 9-innning tilt starting at 1 PM.

That's not a bad split there. Alvernia's a solid if unspectacular program.

A.G.

Lynchburg took the rubber game against Alvernia by a score off 13-6.  Hornet SS Ronnie LaBrie led the hit parade with 2 long home runs, with CF Cameron Grant adding 3 RBIs on the day.

The Hornets return to action on Tuesday in a road game at Averett.

Hornet7.....Another Congrates in hand to Jeff...wow...5 for 5 today against Averett with a nice 14-2 victory...as a matter of the fact the ODAC had an up & up in play this past week. While the competition wasn't the same as the Hornets or Randy Mac...Hampden Sydney did take 3 from Waynesburg. Lynchburg took two of three from Alvernia and one from Averett. The Yellow Jackets took two from Rowan, and Guilford taking three from Wabash and one from Averett, and VWC handed Averett another stinging loss......Heck, even E&H took two games from Maryville. the ODAC is starting to look a little better.

A.G.

Thanks.  Unfortunately, most of those ODAC wins came out of region.  We gotta get to beating some of those USASouth teams with regularity.  I know VWC got rained out of CNU today...but wins against that conference have been few and far between.  Hopefully, with the number of inter-conference games tomorrow, the ODAC can get a little momentum going into conference play.

Guilford giving Methodist all it can handle...6-6 in the 8th...

...check that...Guilford wins in extra-innings, 7-6.  Sounds like the Quakers can swing the lumber this year.  There could be some high scores in the LC series this weekend with them.

A.G.

Turns into a good day for the ODAC as Bridgewater beat Greensboro.  Ferrum and Roanoke DH was postponed.

NCWC

Any monster matchups in the ODAC this weekend?
16 USA South/ Dixie Conference titles, 12 Regional titles, 2  World Series titles

Methodist seems to be struggling against the teams on their schedule that aren't near automatic wins. Split with LaGrange, split with Southern Virginia, split with Lynchburg, lost to Guilford. Doesn't bode well for where they are in the regional pecking order, though they're helped by the fact that Averett and Rhodes have maybe been even slower out of the gate.
