Willamette's now 5-1 (3 of 3 at Occidental and 2 of 3 at Menlo College). Occidental is projected to be pretty weak but Menlo's supposed to have a fairly good team. Willamette's defense looked solid and their pitching stood up well. I saw some of the games at Occidental and Menlo and was really impressed and a bit surprised by the quality of play (particularly with Willamette and Menlo). Being new to D-III baseball, I didn't know what to expect. Hopefully Willamette can keep it up (or a reasonable approximation...) during conference play.

Menlo swept by Chapman 10-3 and 15-0 on Saturday... hope this gives you some feedback on where Willamette stands after a 5-1 start... Menlo is relatively weak.

Surprising....although GF came back from 5 down to take the 3rd in the series. Early lead to Linfield.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. It will be fun to watch George Fox attempt to run them down from here on out.

QuoteRick Vaughn
The reason is because they always seem to make it to the post-season ranked pretty high and they go and get beat pretty bad. All these high expectations year in and year out with no results.

I have some thoughts and opinions that I believe is the reason for the for the lack of success in the postseason, but I'm going to keep that to myself.

I am not able to walk a mile in anyone's mocassins but I will express an opinion because I saw the last two NCAA tourneys. LINFIELD chose to play percentages and conservative while the teams that won let it rip.

It should be a fun summer. I start work March 20th.

I would like a summer that started on the last day of winter!
Good luck to you.

Great for D-III baseball all the way around. And a Yankee hero at that!

There will now be a whole new generation of Red Sox fans being brought up to hate Linfield.

Linfield will be down here playing in the Desert Classic this weekend (Thursday-Sunday).
I'm looking forward to wearing my Wildcat gear and cheering them on.

I got goose bumps when I read that, and a tear came to my eye. (I sure do miss my Dad.

One of the simple joys of life is playing catch with your Dad. ... Or your Mom, or your son, your daughter, your brother, your sister, your grandfather,...)

I'd like to take a pause on this board now before the season really gets going to remember The King and His Court.
Anyone having seen Eddie do his thing must still marvel. I do.

Couldn't have said it better. The joy having a catch with my dad brought me is equal only to the joy I had throwing the ball around with my daughter and son. Can't wait for my granddaughter to get a little bigger!
