BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[BigPoppa]

Pardon me, but I am going to rant a little here...

Do SCIAC schools care about baseball yet?  I can not find a box score from Oxy's double-header with La Sierra, a score for Wednesdays Pomona/Westmont game, a 2009 roster for CMS or Pomona.....

I checked the SDCC site and they don't even have today's game with La Verne on their schedule, and neither does the GSAC site!


Ok, I feel better now

As a former GSAC baseball coach, I can honestly tell you that I was once told by my SID (and I am sure it is the same at other places), "we do not worry about baseball until basketball is done." It made it nearly impossible to recruit as our game stats and stories often showed up two weeks AFTER it was played.

According to La Verne's Athletic website, The Leo's suffered a big loss to San Diego C.C. by a score of 9-3.
By now SDCC has played 5 games (a couple against a good Biola team) compared to the Leo's 1st season openner game. Don't look down on the Leo's just yet, I am sure they will start to warm-up.

SDCC is an NAIA scholarship school.

Item about Oxy baseball in the Whittier Daily News:

The Tigers are ... turning over a new leaf, with a new coach.

"This year's squad has undergone a great deal of change in the way of culture," new coach Jason Hawkins said. "They are learning a new system and a new way of going about their business. We have been very impressed with their adaptability and I am encouraged by our ability to potentially consistently compete at a high level."

The Tigers have strength on the mound with four players with experience, including two-time All-SCIAC second teamer Matthew Jones.

The senior will be joined by sophomore Ross Pomerantz, senior Noel Banuelos and sophomore Brooks Belter. Junior Glenn Gray, the leading hitter last season (.373) also returns.

The Tigers are 3-0 and have a three-game series against Whitman College starting today at Oxy.

Respectfully, I cannot find SDCC in this list of NAIA schools.

Are you sure that they are not a JuCo?

I know it is a pretty new athletic program that is an NAIA member, unless my eyes are fuzzy, it says so on the bottom of this page...

Hahaha, I have to admit I didn't see it there at first.

Looks like Oxy took game one of a double-header today with Whitman, and they were stopped in game 2 by rain.  Game one ends up 11-6 and game 2 was stopped at 13-11.  The SCIAC wepage says they were in the bottome of the 9th, but why would they not just call it there if Oxy was up?  I am confused.
Either way, Oxy does not seem to have much pitching, if any at all.  They gave up 17 runs today to a team that hasn't practiced outside.  Sorry Tiger fans, it's going to be a long year.

How does Oxy shape upn the SCIAC? Whitman will probably be in the bottom half of the NWC. I'm getting antsy to watch a SCIAC team in mactown for the west regionals.

Oxy will most likely be very close to the bottom of the SCIAC.  They were taken into Extra Innings by La Sierra, and it took a 9th inning rally for them to come back and clip Whitman in extras on Saturday/Sunday.  I am assuming Oxy had a walk off bomb to win that game in 12.  Oxy pounded them in the final game of the series.  Oxy is 6-0, but their opponents are a combined 0-8.  It's going to take some time for Oxy to compete.  Strankman had them headed in the right direction and left, which will put them that much more behind.  They have a very small roster which tells me the coach either wants it that way, or a bunch of guys quit.  Lets face it too, Whitman is terrible.

[swede]

Yes indeed Whitman is terrible. The missionaries are picked to finish last.

[Jack Parkman]

Holy crap I am confused!  I guess Whitman won the suspended game 15-13.  The SCIAC site has Oxy winning but the Oxy site has Whitman winning   Either way, Oxy blasted Whitman in game 3 of the series 28-3.
