Ralph,

Do you think there is a chance that both Linfield and PLU could get in regardless of this weekend's outcome? I'll be there this weekend with video camera in hand.

I certain hope so. PLU should have been in last year and Linfield is playing outstanding baseball at this time and can play with anyone in the country. Should be an exciting 3 games with PLU/Linfield....

West Region In-Region Record Overall Record
1. Chapman 20-4 25-8 Pool B (almost clinched)
2. Pomona-Pitzer 25-6 27-8 SCIAC clinched
3. Linfield 25-7 27-10
4. Mississippi College 28-4 32-7

Pool C considerations
West Region In-Region Record Overall Record
1. ~~Chapman 20-4 25-8 Pool B~~ (almost clinched)
2. ~~Pomona-Pitzer 25-6 27-8~~ SCIAC clinched
3. Linfield 25-7 27-10
4. Mississippi College 28-4 32-7
5. ~~Trinity (Texas) 28-6 32-7~~ SCIAC clinched
6. Pacific Lutheran 23-7 30-7

If this week's series looks like the #3 in the West is playing the#6 in the West, then I think that the loser has a very good chance to get a Pool C.

Mississippi College has a tough series with UMHB in the Tourney first round, 2 of 3. If Mississippi College makes it to the ASC Tourney, then they probably can get a Pool C bid.

Redlands could also control their own destiny by controling Chapman with the season ending series
next weekend. They could end up with a Pool C bid.

CrashDavisD3 · April 30, 2010, 02:53:29 PM

Nothing is ALMOST clinched only taking 3 with Dallas and taking 3 with Redlands
makes it clinched.....Nothing is ever assumed in Pantherland...since Pool B is picked by committee...

A great series in the NWC conference this weekend....

QuoteA great series in the NWC conference this weekend....

LINFIELD won first 7 -4 and ahead 7 -0 in the 6th in the second.

CD, you are right, that team seems to be peaking at a good time.

Ralph Turner · May 01, 2010, 08:50:32 PM

Congratulations Linfield on clinching the NWC with the DH sweep today.

D O.C. · May 01, 2010, 09:10:22 PM

Congratulations to Scott Brosius in his newest job.

'Cats just played great ball today. Really a fun crowd and I'm looking forward to seeing if the 'Cats can win this baby outright. Go 'Cats!

Linfield is a serious contendor for the west region title....I think the west regional is going to be one of the best we have ever seen. What a lineup of teams that will possibly come together.

Chapman
Miss College
Linfield
Pomona Pitzer
Trinity (TX)

With several other possibles

Texas-Tyler
Texas Lutheran
Pacific lutheran
Redlands (they need to sweep Chapman)

Congrads to all you 'Cat fans. I saw your team play at Chapman. Tons of talent, a real first class squad with excellent coaching. The west regional should be tops once again this year. Pray for good weather.
Good luck to you all. May the best team advance!

D O.C. · May 03, 2010, 12:11:38 AM

Congratulations.

Can't I just leave it at that? No, I'd like someone from George Fox and PLU to come on here and share what they think happened to their stretch. If the answer is that LINFIELD was just the better team all season....well, I can accept that.

Wow... really classy.

Posting is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

I'm sorry, ribbons for everybody.

dahlby · May 03, 2010, 11:44:08 AM

Keep my ribbon, I thought the question was legit. I took the question as asking, is Linfield that good, or did everyone else just have off days? Personally, I think that Linfield is just that good.

CrashDavisD3 · May 03, 2010, 11:55:51 AM

Chapman played Linfield in a 4 game series this season. I saw all 4 games.

Linfield is one of the best teams Chapman has faced the in the past 2 years.

They are very well coached. They hit very well. They are very fundamentally sound and team that plays the game the right way. Kelson Brown their shortstop is one of the best players at the DIII level this year and is legitimate POY candidate.

They play excellent defense, the pitchers just battle you and their hitters have great approaches in at bats. Some of their early season losses are not reflected of how this team is playing at this time.,
