BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[BigPoppa]

Oxy just finish losing 5-4 to #20 Ithaca in a well fought game. I was hoping that the tigers could rally to beat a really good team that seemed to struggled at times. I guess Ithaca was still asleep after flying out here.

Go tigers

I am also guessing that it was the first time outside for the Bombers since upstate NY is still covered in snow! It sometimes takes a few games to adjust to playing on grass and dirt again.

rbaikie---

Here's what i got for oxy in the tourny this week and next.

Looks like good competition. It will be hard to see if a couple of these games get called because of the rain heading out here. I hope to make starts game at Oxy and most of next week while these kids are busting there butts during spring break....

Thanks Browneagle64 -

I'm not real hopeful regarding the weather -

I have a relative driving down so I've been watching -

With one bout of showers already this morning hitting east LA (Probably hit the Rock too) - It was lightly snowing at 11 up on the Grapevine -

I guess we'll just wait and see!

Friday's cold game at the Rock was a classic pitchers duel that ended Bethany's favor. (2-0) I thought the tigers would have mustard a late come back, but couln't do it. My hats still go off to the tigers and bethany.

Congratulations to the others schools in the tourny----. I'm glad to see whitter did a fine job against most of the other school's. Looks like Cal Lu finally got one win in its column.
As for CMS, they look like they are going to sneek up on people and grab the SCIAC with out us even knowing about it. (Congrats to them too, as well)

I know that OXY has a quality educational available to all students who attend. Your grammar(or lack of) is killing me and in some way makes your posts less important to the board. I do not mean it as an insult, but take your time.... you are just making a mess when you type.

AND don't be afraid to check your spelling.

[Browneagle64]

That's my fault--- I know.

I usually try to do these post at work when i have free time. Usually the boss does check in to my work area.
SO thats my fault

Acceptance is the first step to recovery....

I'm glad that the weather has not cancelled a lot of games for the Cal Classic. Last time i checked most of the SCIAC teams were doing very well. Congrats to the Leo's, Redlands and even the staggs of doing a fine job in the classic.

As for my Oxy team, well, at least they won one game against Illinois-Tech. I just hope they can pull more wins.

What in the world is going on with the SCIAC this year???  I will be the first to admit that whoever wins the SCIAC (I really have no idea who is in first since the SCIAC web-page is terrible and never updated) will get blown away in the regionals.  It looks to me like the SCIAC is slipping further and further into the world of being a bad baseball conference.  Just my thoughts.

[BigPoppa]

I agree... the SCIAC needs a team to step up and play for them on a national level. I doubt they will truly compete in the West Region with Chapman, Cal State-East Bay, McMurry, Texas Lutheran, George Fox, Trinity, etc... should be fun to watch things unfold.

I pundited the first baseball poll and Regional Polls on the multi-region board.

What is there to look for this weekend in the SCIAC?  Looks like a pretty good series with ULV and Redlands.  CMS looks like they can play a little too.  Pomona, Oxy, CLU, Whittier....any thoughts?

[BigPoppa]

If Redlands can win the series this weekend they can make a bit more noise on the national level. Not a bad debut in the rankings for them.

[Tom Brady]

That is a pretty good debut BigPoppa.  If East Bay can win the series at Chapman I would like to see them move up even higher than 6th.  The sad thing is, if they lose that series they will probably get bumped down 6 or 7 spots and some team coming off a 8-6 start will take their place.  Gee, do I sound like I am getting pretty bitter about these polls

[Browneagle64]

I''m glad that the bulldogs made a debute in the recent high rankings and representing our league. However, in my opinion, I think that they're going to have a tough time if they reach post-play. Our league is just a bit to weak for any match-up against midwest and east coast schools. (Again, this is just my opinion so no need to feel bad against this)

  As for my tigers, I just hope they win more than one game before they end the season. Good luck to the Bulldogs, Leos and staggs or any other team that is racing for the top of the SCIAC.
