That would be some great news if indeed the pups are considered to join the Dance. When will this be determined Ralph?

Sunday evening.

So, Redlands is ranked #5 in the regional rankings today; La Verne is not ranked.  Is it usual for the conference champ not to be ranked?  I know Redlands took 2 of 3 head to head, but it seems unusual to me, but what do I know?  (That was rhetorical, no need to answer).     

Are there any implications for post season play for Redlands?  I had assumed the Bulldogs/SCIAC were totally out of it.

I think that Redlands will be on the table when the 14th bid is given.

Keep the faith!

Well, Ralph.  You're a minority who think they even have a chance, judging from what everyone in the tourney thread is predicting.  Redlands/SCIAC aren't even listed as being on the bubble.

Was just checking some of the regional ranking listings and commentary and saw that the West regional rankings were changed dropping Redlands off this list. 

What's up with this?       Looking for some veterans to explain this to a rookie?

Thanks.

I don't know what happened either.

I have a running joke that whenever there is an administrative "snafu"  (a great term coined in World War II), I blame it on some alumnus of a Division I school.

That was the basis of my #14 comment.  I now think that Concordia-Tx is on the bubble.

SCIAC basbeall fans,

The leo's were paired this morning with the SCIAC co-champs to open up the west regional tourney. It should be another exciting game between both school's as we are all aware that both of these clubs played very close games against one another just weeks ago. Best of luck to the Leo's and Panthers during this tourney and in representing our league and So. Cal.

Just FYI,

Here's a write up on La Verne's final  3-game series of the season against the Hens and what these boys did in order to stay atop of the SCIAC race. It sure has been a heck of a ride for this team, as I can attest to seeing them play for the past two years on saturday morning/ or afternoons in La Verne.

Speaking of U.L.V, now that i'm just about done in my quest to get my Master's degree from ULV I'm really going to miss seeing my Tigers pounce on and beating the Leo's on Hines field or just being present to see all of the SCIAC teams play in La Verne. It sure has been fun to catch up with the season from another campus besides being at the Rock.   
Go Tigers.
Best of Luck to the Leo's tomorrow against the panthers.

Ladies and Gent: Our So. Cal boys are putting on a good show on openning day of the west regional tourney.

After trying to do their best, to once again, stay on top of the panthers on the sand-lot today, the leo's journey has come to an end.
Outstanding job by the leo's during the past two months and for their great games against the number #1 team in d3baseball. These guys should not walk away with their heads down, but instead, hold their heads high and know that an unranked team like theirs can indeed hang in their with the big boys.

BrownEagle-  It is a dopuble-elimination tournament.  LaVerne will be back in action tomorrow.

[Browneagle64]

Oh snapps.. I mean oh wow. If this is true about the tourney. Then look out for these boys to continue with their journey. Thanks for the correction J.P.

[Jack Parkman]

No worries, thats what I am here for.  I believe LaVerne will play the winner of the Trinity/George Foz game at noon tomorrow.

[Ralph Turner]

No worries, thats what I am here for.  I believe LaVerne will play the winner of the Trinity/George Fox game at noon tomorrow.

They play George Fox, the Game #2 loser, at noon on Thursday.

I'm sorry to say that I have a long standing trip to California scheduled tomorrow.  Otherwise I would have attended today or tomorrow.  La Verne vs G.Fox.  It doesn't get any better than that.
