ralph,
      check your math      george fox is 21-7. if they take 3/4, they will be 24-8, which is a worse record than 25-7. no tiebreakers needed. GF needs to sweep to win the NWC

Wiffff!

+1!

A strange way to win a game.  A scheduling error gives Boxers forfeit win over Bearcats.

The first game of Pacific's scheduled weekend baseball series with Willamette will be canceled due to an oversight on the Bearcats' schedule.

The oversight resulted in Willamette scheduling a total of 41 games this season, one more than the NCAA mandated limit of 40 games.  As per NCAA rules, Pacific will receive a forfeit win for the over-scheduled game, while the game will be listed for Willamette as a no contest. As a result, Pacific and Willamette will wrap up their regular seasons with a three-game series this weekend instead of a four-game set.

Damn.  'Cats drop both to Fox today so it looks like it's going to come down to the last day of the regular season. 

I have a feeling the 'Cats will pull it off and do it in style.

As I understand the schedule, Linfield hosts GFU in a DH tomorrow.  Linfield's magic number for the Pool A bid is "1".

If anyone has any updates on the Linfield/George Fox games feel free to post.  What a great way to end the season!

Linfield/George Fox: Listen Live!

[Jack Parkman]

Wildcat11-  Thanks for the link but not too sure how the rest of the office would feel about listening to it

Game 1:  GFU 4, Linfield 0.

Game 2:  5 pm PDT!  Winner take all!

Talk about a dramatic way to win the NWC.  Linfield comes back to win the 4th game of the 4 game series to win the NWC and the auto-bid to the tournament in Abeline.  Any chance of George Fox getting in?

Jack, I think we can make a better case for CSU-East Bay to get a Pool C bid from the West Coast than GFU.

Made it out to the end of the 2nd game last night with the video camera.  I'll post up the clip of the Fox coach getting the boot in the bottom of the 6th.

Their coach did have a total legit gripe and seems like a heck of a good guy but it was pretty classic meltdown.  I'll try to get that up by the end of the week.

Congrats to the Cat's and Coach Bro on doing a great job in obtaining this year's NWC crown. Sounds like this was a heck of a game to watch, considering that G.F.U always comes to the Diamond ready to play. Congrats G.F.U on another great season as well.

Ralph-  If East-Bay drops a few this weekend do you think George Fox could squeak by?  What about Redlands in the SCIAC if they don't win the SCIAC?  DO they have a shot at a pool C?

Jack, I don't know how GFU can "un-lose" about three games.  I don't want to raise false hopes.

I am going on CSU-East Bay's potential to win three in-region games, therefore boosting their in-region ranking.  Besides, CSU-EB has the series over GFU, 2 games out of 3!

GFU might gain some ground if McMurry wins the ASC Pool A bid, by virtue of having won the McMurry series 2 of 3.

As for Redlands, if they are in the Regional Rankings after this week's games, then they stand a good chance of getting a Pool C bid.
