BB: OAC: Ohio Athletic Conference

[Dr. Acula]

JCU jumps on top with 3 in the top of the 1st and currently leads Mount 4-0 in the bottom of the 5th.  The Raiders have done very little offensively against Maddern and now Doring in this game.  But it could be worse...BW still hasn't scored today.

[Dr. Acula]

Doring is done after 7. Thankfully.  Mount has only had one man in scoring position since the 2nd and that was with two outs.  Really nice job by Kemp to settle in after giving up 3 in the 1st.  He allowed just a single unearned run over the next 5 IP to keep them in the game.

BW got 3 in the 7th of the 2nd game, but Berg still gets the sweep with a 6-3 victory.

[Dr. Acula]

Good sweep for Berg.  ONU swept as well.  Cap came back to get the split against Musky.

Mount needs to get the bats out tomorrow against SJF and get their confidence back.  They got dismantled by JCU pitching today.  18 innings, 18 strikeouts and 1 run.  Get back on track tomorrow and get ready for ONU next weekend.  They've got W&J and Thiel midweek also so plenty of AB's to get going.

Mount's DH with SJF today has been PPD due to cold.  It's pretty nice in Columbus today (for March).  Definitely nice enough to play.  But it looks like it's only 28 (20 w/ the windchill) in Alliance.  At least I hopefully have Etta to listen to at work today.  That guy that's the voice of the Etta Express is the best.

John Carroll vs OWU ppd for cold as well. I had hoped they would just move to Delaware, but that did not occur.

another day, another postponed DH.

Warfy is the best.  He's been doing the games for WMOA ever since his Dad passed away, and his voice (and the same commercials) make the broadcasts timeless.  The names change every year, but listening to the games don't...it feels the same now as it has for the last 15 years.

[Dr. Acula]

Berg leapfrogs BW in the top 25 this week checking in at 14. BW is 15, Etta 22 and ONU is looming just outside the top 25.  Ott is also receiving some votes.

[Dr. Acula]

Mount drops a 6-5 game at W&J today in the bottom of the 9th.  A couple of base running blunders hurt the Raiders late and cost them 2 runs.  They hit the road again tomorrow to Thiel. 

[motorman]

Berg scores 3 in bottom of 9th today to beat Adrian 6-5.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

OWU beats Baldwin Wsllace, 8-4, today at Littick field.

[Dr. Acula]

Mount won at Thiel yesterday 11-9.  Looks like they shook up the lineup a little in these two OOC games.  ONU Saturday is going to be a tall order.  They're pitching really well.

Also, Ott and Etta split the other day.  Powell has to be pleased to get out of there with a split only scoring 3 runs total.  Kemer and Herstine both pitched very well in game 1 which the Cards won 1-0.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Dr, I know you posted this on the OAC football board, but did not read back to see any converstion here. I cannot see them Joining the NCAC, What about the OAC or the PAC? What would this mean for D3 baseball.

[Dr. Acula]

The only way I could see the OAC being interested in Malone is if someone left and they needed them to get back to 10 members.  Pat mentioned the HCAC as a possibility and I didn't even think of that.   

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Yeah, I have to agree with Pat. That would be a good fit.
