Hey Ralph,

Yes, Pomona-Pitzer.

Wow, I didn't even know that. That's great news to hear that the 'Hen's are being considered to be a strong team from the West Region. Hopefully, they can back up these consideration votes when SCIAC play starts to open up though.

We are hoping that the "ice storm" that might hit Abilene this weekend doesn't!

I understand the schedule for GFU/McM is now Friday single game and DH on Saturday.

[Browneagle64]

Yes indeed. It would be great for the players and fans to at least get a chance to play a game.
Man, It's hard to believe that everything east and North of So. Cal is going through wild winter temps like these. I just hope everyone is safe. 

[Ralph Turner]

The GFU flight had some engine trouble and had to divert.  Everyone is okay, but the series has been rescheduled for a Sunday DH and a Monday single game.

The 'Cats are back and gonna make some noise in the west. Might even go undefeated at home.

Who are the 'Cats? For those that are in SoCal like myself, I am curious to know who you are talking about.

Nice article in the Oregonian on Linfield's new skipper Scott Brosius: The 'can-do' guy

Linfield's new field turf infield looks pretty darn nice and they are working on building up the new on-site indoor batting cage.  Helser Field was already a gem but the coaches are really taking the facility to a new level.

Linfield sports has updated the pics in the facilities pages.  Here is how the field turf infield looks http://www.linfield.edu/sports/venues/helser.php

Indeed, this is a great article. I am glad that Coach B. highlighted the little things that make DIII sports so special in this article. From having the head coach and assistant ( to even players) putting in there own muscle for work, their own time and efforts in building 1st class facilities for their student-athletes; this is what makes DIII sports so different. Kudo's for Coach B, his staff and other coaches out there that do this for the love of the game and for their student athletes.

Pac Lutheran drops to 2-4 in the NWC as they lose two games to Pacific (Ore) Saturday.

Pacific 4 - Pac Lutheran 3
Pacific 11 - Pac Lutheran 1

These two are going to hurt Pac Lutheran in the long run. Without the history of being successful that George Fox has, they really need to win the NWC outright to have a chance at the West Regional, especially since they have a couple of ties and and in-region loss to Redlands already.

I don't know if Brunner is hurt, but they need him back in the starting rotation. He threw two great innings at the end of the Pacific blow-out.

Good race so far in the NWC.  Linfield and UPS face off in a big series this weekend.  'Cats, Bruins, Loggers, and Bearcats all in the mix this early season.  Should be a great NWC race.

[Browneagle64]

Indeed this should be a good game between the Cats and Loggers.
My tigers just finish pounding U.P.S, however, i doubt that they will come out flat like they did yesterday at the rock and instead expect them to be back in their winning ways. In the end, i must say that the cats win this game.
