BB: OAC: Ohio Athletic Conference

Tinman · May 08, 2010, 10:17:37 AM

I was there for the Muc-berg games, Berg hit often and early, Muc didn't even have bats out of the bags before they were down a few runs, Von Duyke, had a great effort and Ferrell also woke up with two home runs, it was a disappointing season full of questions after such a good start.......again

The Polar Bears drop to 26-12 (10-8 OAC) and no longer control their own destiny, while the Blue Streaks improve to 24-13 (11-5 OAC) and lock up the third seed in the OAC Tournament.

The fate of ONU's season will be determined tomorrow when Otterbein travels to Muskingum. For the Polar Bears to gain a berth into the OAC Tournament, they need the two teams to split the doubleheader.

If Muskingum sweeps, they will have an 11-7 OAC record and leapfrog ONU for fourth. If Otterbein sweeps, they will have the same OAC record as ONU, but hold the tiebreaker by splitting with John Carroll earlier in the season.

it will be interesting to see how today's MUSKY/OTT games end up. Personally, I hope one of them SWEEPS today to earn the 4th seed in the tournament. I couldn't imagine ONU sneaking in, after going 0-6 against the 1 thru 3 seeds during the regualr season.

OTT is out...they lose game one 9-2.

MUSKY takes spot #4 in the OAC tournament by completing the SWEEP over Otterbein (just wasn't a good year for OTT from the beginning).

Not only does MUC blow leads in both games Sunday (including a 5-0 lead in the top of the 7th of game 1) to get swept at home by Cap, but then Cap adds insult to injury by sweeping BW in Berea today to go to 6-12 and pass the 5-13 Raiders in the standings. Tough finish for MUC. Something to build on for Cap.

Congratulations to the Berg's third baseman Willie Brechun on being named the OAC "Hitter of the Week" He's having an AWESOME year. Couldn't happen to a nicer young man.

OAC Tournament

Dr. Acula · May 12, 2010, 12:04:16 PM

Looks like the weather isn't going to be great Thu/Fri, but the weekend looks pretty good.

Dr. Acula · May 13, 2010, 03:01:46 PM

It's under way and it's not pretty....Berg up 23-2 in the 6th. 10 runs and counting in the bottom of the 6th so far. Still only 1 out.

mideastfan2 · May 13, 2010, 05:22:38 PM

Game One
MUSKY - 5
HEID - 29

FINAL

In the words of the great Cousin Eddie (Vegas Vacation): "I haven't seen a beatin' like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose."

mideastfan2 · May 13, 2010, 05:29:48 PM

Game Two
JCU - 0
MAR - 6

top of 3rd

MAR got 2-run HR's from Beatty and Levens, and Blaski has 5 K's thru 2 innings....looks promising for the Etta Express early.

Dr. Acula · May 13, 2010, 06:16:29 PM

Scratching my head at the Evanko start. Moonan just beat Etta 8-1 a couple weeks ago. And Moonan has been their best starter all year anyway.

mideastfan2 · May 13, 2010, 07:41:29 PM

^^^ I'm not sure either; must be a good reason though.

Game Two - Final
JCU - 4
MAR - 13

Friday schedule
Game 3: HEID vs MAR - 9:30am
Game 4: MUSKY vs JCU - 12:30pm
Game 5: Winner Game 4 vs Loser Game 3 - 4:30pm

with rain forecasted for tonight and into the morning, hopefully it clears in time to get started by mid morning. As long as the games don't run too long, they should be able to get all 3 in tomorrow; could be a tight fit with NO lights at Heidelberg

Gramps · May 13, 2010, 08:05:23 PM

The Berg broke two long standing team OAC Tournament records - Game Hits with 32 and - Game Runs with 29. Berg ss, Jason Lash also equaled the doubles per game record with 3 doubles and Willie Brechun tied the hits per game record with 5 hits.

It should be a good game tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM, lots of action to wake everybody up. I don't have a clue as to who the pitchers will be. I think that both teams are holding their cards close to their vests.
