BB: NWC: Northwest Conference

[wildcat11]

I decided to throw together a NWC mid-season All-League Team. There have been some great players this year, and it is a surprisingly, evenly spread out team. Check it out.

So you have 4 GFU players listed (most in the NWC) and they currently sit in 4th place.   Not saying those guys are more than deserving but baseball is a funny game at times.

I agree it is a funny game. It is crazy how strong Fox's numbers are in everthing besides the W's and L's. They seem to have the same problem Linfield has had of late. They are getting guys on base, they just aren't driving them in. Fortunately for Linfield, their pitching has won them most of the games. Meanwhile, Fox's pitching has slipped just a bit which has led to them dropping a few.

If it is any consolation, I created a 2nd team also (didn't post it), and there are probably 6 Linfield players on that list.

Many great players in the NWC.  I'm not too worried about it.  A lot of baseball to be played and a lot of shifting in the standings can happen.  I'm just about those W's and L's, boss!  Always appreciate your breakdowns.

I watched the press conference after the Whitworth series by Linfield's coach.  Look very much like every press conference that Brosius has had at the world series.  Give me Carthage's Augie Schmidt.  You know you are going to get something he might have to apologize for in the future.

Typical news guy....rolls their eyes at the "boring" coach speak interview, wants to hear the guy that might say something risky, and then demands an apology when that guy says something offensive.

Never a dull moment when Augie is around!!!

... and Jim has always been a supporter of how colorful Augie Schmidt is/has been:)

All of Brosius' interviews tend to follow this pattern. If you are looking for something colorful or even a hint of arrogance you will be surely disappointed. He tends to let that career 74% win percentage and the 3 trips to Appleton do the talking.

I totally agree....Scott Brocius is a great coach and a very humble guy for all that he has accomplished.  He commands respect by example- not by making a bunch of off the wall statements...

Another sweep for Linfield and the stage is set for a huge series in Mac this weekend vs PLU.

I would be shocked if Linfield does anything less than a sweep.  PLU has some pretty legit pitching but Linfield's pitching will dominate their hitting.

Welcome back Jake Wylie! A 2 run bomb off of Lubking gives Linfield the early lead over PLU, 2-0 in the 3rd.

Linfield takes game 1, 3-0.

Haddeland goes complete game shutout with 5 K's. He moves to 7-0 on the year.
Lubking is the tough luck loser going 8 innings and striking out 9.

The win gives Linfield a three game cushion between first and second.



Linfield has a 2-0 lead over PLU in game two. Jake Wylie with his second bomb of the day.
... and Wylie hits his 3rd bomb of the day to give Linfield a comfortable 7-1 lead in the 8th.

This is a huge series win for Linfield.

Good bat to have back is an understatement!!!!!!

Turn out the lights the party's over. Linfield is going to be a beast at home in the Regionals. This is one reason I like conf tournaments.

Linfield finishes the sweep of PLU, 6-1. They opened up the game with five straight hits to score three runs. Nick Fisher added an exclamation point with a bomb late. The pitching staff has given up two runs in the last five games, and 10 runs over their last 10 games.

They move to 17-1 in the NWC and 24-3 overall. Even if they get swept by George Fox, they will stay in 1st place with a home series against Lewis & Clark.
