BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[CrashDavisD3]

Hens played outstanding games. There are a very good team that will battle for the top in the SCIAC and could see maybe a rematch if both teams make it to the Regionals.

No way they are going to battle for the SCIAC Crashie. Come on Newbie. Lets be honest here, they took one game away from the Panthers, but, got worked. (not (by numbers, but by being outplayed is what i mean here)

Both Redlands, Cal Who and dare I even mention La Verne and the staggs stand in the way. There is just no way that with the loss of so many players the hens re-capture the SCIAC. Come on Newbie

Cal Lu- Not very good
La Verne- Not very good
Redlands- been pretty impressive so far
Pomona- One win vs. a good team
Whittier- god awful
Oxy- below average

[Browneagle64]

Oh J.P. your breakdown of our SCIAc teams just made me chuckle.

Cal Lu is a much better team than P-P and have play well despite their record.
Redlands is slowly getting back up, just like they did last year
La Verne is actually doing well too, but have been out played on several key games.
The mighty hens are just to young and lost a lot
Whitter is creeping back dowing.
My Tigers!!!!! Come on now. They will do good this year
And I cant believe you left out the staggs. They have been doing well so far. Come on JP. 

[CrashDavisD3]

What no love for Cal Tech...

Cal Lu is much better than their record indicates

Pomona is much better than people think.

Redlands may be the suprise of the SCIAC.

The next two weeks will be a real test for the hens. We'll see if they come out as SCIAC contenders :

PP vs La Verne

PP vs CMS

Looking forward to an exciting Cal Lu - CMS series this weekend (if the weather cooperates)

[Jack Parkman]

My weekend predictions-

Cal Lu takes 2 of 3 from CMS
Redlands sweeps Oxy
Whittier sweeps Cal Tech.....barely
P-P takes 2 of 3 from La Verne

I think the SCIAC is a 2-horse race with P-P and Redlands.  Redlands has played pretty darn well so far and P-P beat Chapman 1/3 in their only games against a team worth a crap.  La Verne is going to sneak some wins out because of their hard-nose attitude.  Whittier is just plain bad.  It looks like Oxy is close to getting their program turned around.  Cal Lu needs their pitching to works itself out and they need to hit in conference.

JP, it's starting to hurt my feelings when you leave the Stags out every time you talk about SCIAC.

[BigPoppa]

La Verne is going to sneak some wins out because of their hard-nose attitude. 

I the hard-nosed attitude meant anything in sports, Army would play for the national title every season in just about every sport. At some point you have to have the talent.

To quote, "It's not the Xs and Os... it's the Jimmys and Joes."

CAL Who v.s the stags should be an interesting game to read and hear about. However, Im going with the who in taking 2 out of 3
Redlands continues to Roll, but will actually lose 2 out of three to my Tigers ((Hey, i can only be positive in thinking)
Poets get their 1st and only conference wins
And lastly, THe leopards take 2 away from the Young hens.

Double headers starting in several hrs. Hope to maybe catch the Puppy v.s Oxy game at Anderson field this afternoon.

PP winning 1 from Chapman isn't a surprise...the surprise is that it came in a game that Colvin didn't pitch.

Anyhow, from Friday:
Redlands 4    Oxy 2
Whittier 20    Cal Tech 3
PP 3              La Verne 0
CMS 14         Cal Lu 10

CLU now 2-5 in league play.

[CrashDavisD3]

I know its early but I see PP and Redlands playing for the SCIAC title.

What happen to Cal Who ? It will be real tough to overcome 5 league losses at this point but it could still happen but they will have to get hot and string some SCIAC wins together and hope for some help.

I see Occidental, CMS and LaVerne playing spoiler roles and could figure in who wins the SCIAC...but beating PP or Redlands.... Whiitter may only beat Cal Tech this year in league....

[pomonaalum]

Only thing working in Cal Lu's favor this year is the extra round of league games...otherwise, 5 league losses at this point would mean they would have to play perfect ball, or close to it, to have a shot in the end.

[pomonaalum]

Hens move to 9-0 in conference with a sweep of ULV.  After a pitcher's duel on Friday, a pair of slugfests on Saturday.  Big series next weekend with CMS.

Hens are 9-0, Redlands is 10-2 now...

[Browneagle64]

As i make my sandwhich full of crow for the afternoon's lunch (gosh i cant believe i had to write that), sounds like the Hens proved me wrong this weekend. Not only did they sweep the Leo's, but, the last game of the 3 game series was just a debacle for the Leps. In my years of watching or hearing Leo baseball I havent heard or even watched the Leo's give up this up match in a single game (20pts). Hats off to the Hens for their Big win against a real team. Lets just see if they can play real ball against the likes of the Hens, Pups and the Who.

Glad that Coach hawk has the Tigers playing Good baseball, but, a sweep is still a sweep. Congrats to the Pups and Stags on their big wins as well.
