BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Jack Parkman]

Does anyone have any predictions for this weekend?  I am going to change my thoughts from a few weeks ago and say Redlands wins it.  I am thinking La Verne will win 2 of 3 from Pomona.  I feel like this because Pomona was exposed big time this past weekend.  I realize they have had a great year but Cal Lutheran saw something and took advantage.
Redlands will win the first 2 and struggle with the 3rd game like they have most of the year.  Although Redlands doesn't get a whole of attention on here I honestly think they have the title in their hands and its theirs to lose.  If La Verne ends up winning the SCIAC I still think Redlands has a good shot at a pool C.  They were behind Pomona in the regional rankings and they had to have gone in front of them after the past weekend.

Well, I looked silly with predictions a few weeks ago, so I'll stay away from a repeat performance.

Pomona dropped to 24 in the rankings this week; Redlands received 8 votes.

A second SCIAC team would be tough.  If PP wins 2 or 3 games this weekend but doesn't win SCIAC, I think they have an outside shot at a bid, based on their record and some impressive wins outside of conference.

I would say the only team that would get a shot without winning the SCIAC would be Redlands.  Pomona losing 3 key region games this late in the season to a team under .500 really hurts them.  Who knows, Pomona could still win it outright.

Early season game between La Verne and Cal Lu ended as a tie.  I thought I read that it was scheduled to be completed this week.  Anyone know that results and/or when it will be played.  It could come into play with things so tight in the SCIAC.

J.P. that's a good question that you brought up. My final predicition for this weekend is that the Leo's Sweep the hens and claim the SCIAC crown. Why??? Well because 1) the Leo's have a pitching staff that is not running out of gas, as the hen's pitching/ and bull-pen can attest to that, 2) these guys ?(the leo's that is) had a better chance at winning two games out of three against the best team in the nation/west when both ball club played one another and 3) I see the Leo's drawing the line here and showing us why they need to  be considered the #1 team in the SCIAC after showing a strong pitching and offense performace v.s. the hens. In the end, all i have to say is that the leo's sweep the hens.

"the team who's pitching staff comes out of the bullpen throwing sound/ controlled pitches and has their bats working in their favor to produce runs) will walk away with a victory."

Wait, I'm confused! Are you saying that the team that scores more runs and gives up less will win?!?!?!?Thank you for your incredible insight, browneagle! and its hard to take you seriously when you predict PP to lose the last 26 games.

Your welcome Newbie..... I understand that the small insight that i provided may not be the greatest and what you may have expected, but, let's face it's my opinion.
And of course, it's all good if my opinion would not be taken seriously when i predicted that PP loses the last 26. However, if the hens were considered to be  that good then why in the heck did they just finish getting swept by a struggling Cal Lu team??? Are you sure the hens easy schedule (first half of the season that is) makes them crediable to be a Top team in the D3 baseball. My two cents: Maybe not.
Indeed, i have given your team credit for every win through out the season, however, this is were it ends. The Leo's will win this weekend's SCIAC series of the week. Best of luck to your former club Newbie, and please hope that your former team is still not hung over after the mess that "the Who" created against them last weekend.

the team with the most runs win?? I wonder what would happen if the team with the least amount of runs loses wait I am confused. Hen the reson PP is  not winning is because they have pitchers that don't know what arm to use when they are on the bump!!!

[sagehenalum47]

browneagle, while they did play a somewhat easy schedule in the first part of teh season, you are not taking into account the injuries they have sustained since the first half. kand didn't play last weeked for some reason, and he has been hitting some cleanup for them. dunlap, an all league pitcher last year, has been hurt. they werewithout league player of the year mandelblatt's bat since mid march. however, according to my sources all 3 are coming back this weekend. so PP will be at full strenght and this team will not go down easy. look for a little deja vu this weekend!

In that case Newbie.......... Let's wait just wait and see. Only 3 hrs. 45 mins. until game 1 of the best SCIAC baseball series this weekend. 8)

Welcome beachlover!

Fridays results:

Redlands takes the win over CMS
La Verne takes the win over PP

What does this do to SCIAC standings?

[Browneagle64]

Congrats to the Leo's over their 1st win against the SCIAC co-champs this afternoon. Only two more games left and soon the SCIAC champs will be determined.

As for what does this do to the SCIAC standing??? Let's just wait until tomorrow afternoon to ask that question. It's to early to determine the SCIAC co-champ.

[pomonaalum]

Believe that Redlands magic number is 1 with PP, 2 with ULV.

In other words, if Redlands wins out its over.  If Redlands splits today, ULV would have to sweep PP and beat CLU in the continuation to win.  PP needs to sweep ULV and have CMS sweep Redlands today...
