BB: OAC: Ohio Athletic Conference

[Tinman]

It was a shame, they rallied several times in the first game; but appeared to be hang dogged after Etta came out strong in the second game.

[Kenworth]

Weather forecast for Tiffin Saturday took a turn for the worse, rain predictions now at 90% for Saturday and 40% on Sunday with highs in the high 40s to low 50s.

looks like HEID tried to save pitchers for this weekend against Marietta and ended up dropping one, and coming very close to being swept by ONU.  Too bad their bats didn't show up or else they could've easily gotten away with it.


Marietta is taking care of Capital today, and started Gasser in game one, and BLaski in game two.  They got big enough leads thanks to their bats, that they were able to lift both starters after a few innings....they should be ready for HEID whenever they end up playing based on threatning rain storms.

Looks like the Berg was looking ahead. Very unlike them, they normally take care of business.

Go get em this weekend Etta!!!!

This info is sooo easy to find now with the new website layout.....things have come so far in the last 10 years for D3 baseball fans.  I remember the days of the original Yahoo Group for "D3 baseball" with Jim Dixon.  Jim and the guys have done a great service to D3 sports with their work over the years; culminating in this great website & forums.  Much thanks!

[mideastfan2]

Marietta and Heidelberg will attempt to get their games in this weekend, and it is only the start....they could easily face each other 7 or 8 times this year with the OAC and Regional tournaments.

It could be like the Otterbein series from 2006 when they played 7 times....OTT won 4 of them, but MC won the Regional Title game when it counted & ended up winning the National Championship.

The Heidelberg - Marietta DH scheduled for Sat has been rescheduled for Sun, starting time 1:00PM. This is the latest news as of now.  I will post any changes as soon as I hear it.  Good Luck to both teams, but you know who I'm rooting for.  For sure, they'll both be two hard fought games between two never-say-die teams. They had some classic battles last year and I'm looking forward to the same thing this year.

GO BERG!!!!

as of right now (6:30pm est) I can't find the change anywhere on Marietta or Heidelberg's websites.  Is it 100% for sure moved to Sunday?

[Kenworth]

Word is that it has been moved to Sunday although both websites do not show updates.

[Gramps]

Thanks Kenworth. That's the word that I got too, but it's not official until both websites verify it. Stay tuned.
