Whitworth wins two 7-4 and 13-2... eliminating PLU.

Pacific loses game one to PLU and is trailing 4-3 in game two after 3 innings.

If Whitworth wins tomorrow or if Pacific loses game two or three, Whitworth wins the NWC, as they have the tiebreaker over Pacific.

I can't recall Whitworth ever playing in the playoffs - they've had a great run this year.

Wow...so far Whitworth has handled the pressure. 1 more win needed tomorrow though which, when you haven't "been there before", can be easier said than done. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, this team has blown everyone's expectations out of the water. Huge congrats to Ramsay and the guys!

Congrats to the Pirates! Whitman comeback came up just short. The Missionaries put up 3 in the 8th to come within 1 run, but Whitworth closed em out, 8-7.

Congratulations Whitworth on the auto-bid.  The regional games are a blast so any Whitworth fan should try to make it to McMinnville. 

Pacific on the other hand....they had the tougher path this weekend but it has to be bittersweet.  They're celebrating their co-championship hard on twitter (1st part of any title in 32 years so I get that) but they controlled their own destiny headed into this weekend and now are on the outside looking in.

The Sunday magic struck again. Whitworth held on for an 8-7 win over visiting Whitman on Sunday, clinching a share of the 2012 Northwest Conference baseball championship and giving the Pirates the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament.

This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.  "There are three types of baseball players: those who make things happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened."

What makes the "Sunday Magic" stat interesting is that with the way the NWC schedule works out, it means the Pirates never lost the 3rd game of an NWC series all season.

WC11,

Does that translate at all to the regional format? I'm admittedly clueless as to how the regional works, but I would assume the schedule would have an impact since your pitching rotation can play a big role.

Yep, down to the wire, Whitman had the tying run on second in the 9th.  Whitworth should be a great competitor in the regional.  Plus, they pencil to be strong for a couple of years, as most of their core returns.

How about this for another race in the NWC - - - who's Player of the Year between these two guys?

In-Conference Stats

B. Gates (Pac Lu): .449 .538 .704  6 HR  33 RBI  .987 fielding % at 1B

T. Pfeffer (Whitworth):  .426  .482  .812  9 HR  39 RBI

WOW!!! Those are a pair of great seasons!

Nice write up on Ramsay. 26 year old coach and a starting lineup full of freshman and sophomores...should be the start of another successful sport at Whitworth

The depth of your bullpen is a huge factor especially if you have to fight your way out of the losers bracket.  There are many more qualified people on this board to answer the question but IMO winning a regional is not only about playing well but also being able to overcome the attrition warfare nature of the weekend.

True but let's revisit this next season as the AQ winner in 2013 could easily be Linfield, Pacific, PLU, George Fox, or Whitworth.

Well of course it could be any one of those teams...baseball in the NWC isn't like football., right?

The nice thing is that our baseball team could plummet all the way to last in the conference and it still wouldn't be enough for Linfield to catch Whitworth in the all-sports trophy standings  :o

If only you had winter sports programs...  ;)
