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.

Nothing like having a guy take one for the team in your third game. I feel for the dude who gave up 12 runs and got two outs. And Veihl hit grand slams in consecutive innings off that same guy? Ouch ... hope the Whitman coach at least let him pick his bus seat.

EDIT: Figured I'd spell the dude's name correctly. I mean he did hit two grand slams after all ...

Speaking of which, any reason why a coach lets his SP give up 17 R and 15 H in 1.2 IP?
Here's the Oxy/Whitman box score I referenced in my prior post. No mercy rule, huh?

Whitman only has 19 guys on their team. That has got to hurt.

"For different reasons, we've lost some guys from a year ago, so we might go to California with just 16 players," he says. "Compensating for that lack of depth by keeping guys healthy is going to be a big key for us this year."

I have no idea how you leave a kid in after giving up that many hits/runs. That has got to kill the kid. I have no idea how many guys La Sierra has, but I feel bad for that kid. The La Sierra pitching gave up 30 earned runs in the double header. OUCH!

Anyone else happen to catch the CalLu games yesterday? Tigert and Gelber sure are going to be a tough duo to beat.. I read someone's earlier post about the CLU offense and how abysmal it was..I know La Sierra isn't exactly amazing, but they put up over 40 runs today including 4 homeruns. Should be a fun season

Indeed interesting stuff occurred through out the SouthLand this weekend J.P. First, the So.Cal skies were covered by dark gray matter that seemed to release water every 30 minutes since friday through sunday afternoon. Secondly, here in So.Cal we hardly play baseball in the rain. Thus why, the poor guys from the Golden Eagle and missionary's gave up so much runs. Had the Sun been out and shining the blue so.cal skies, we would have been seeing scores of 5 to 3 across the boards, but instead we had to deal with 28's and 23's and 13 doubles. Wow, what a weekend of cold So.cal ball.
Even I stayed away from Anderson field this weekend.
Congrats to my Tigers and the Who for their wins. (of course to all other SCIAC teams as well)

Congrats to current Oxy Tiger senior Richard Veihl and SCIAC Co-champ player John Semple in being recognized as part of a group of D3 ball players who are off to a hot start.
Regardless of who both Veihl and Semple's teams have played thus far, just having such recognition for their effort in helping their team win ball games is a big plus. Big props to both of these players and the other two players mentioned as well

From the D3 baseball front pg:
Richie Veihl, a senior third baseman at Occidental College has also made the most of the early season. In the Tigers' opener, Veihl hit his first grand slam of the season and last Sunday connected on two more. Veihl has already surpassed his 2008 numbers (2 HR, 12 RBI) and his four home runs and 14 RBIs currently lead the nation. By far the Veihl had the best game of the weekend with a 4-for-7, three home run and nine RBI performance.

Sophomore outfielder John Semel is the leading hitter for the Chapman Panthers in 2009, having hit safely in every game this season. Second ranked Chapman stumbled out of the gates losing two of three games to the Whittier Poets but are fresh off a three game sweep of in-region foe McMurry over the weekend. In the Panthers' second loss to Whittier, Semel reached base five times, going 4-for-5 with four RBI, including his second home run of the season.

Speaking of SCIAC baseball and the SCIAC co-champs, both ULV and the Panthers have their first meeting tomorrow afternoon. La Verne is coming off a tough 3-1 loss to Div-II Cal poly Pomona and will need to do it best with its bats if they really want to beat the Panthers this year. Both teams seem to be starting off slow, but, only time will tell how they will grow and get better as the season is in full gear (and no rain has been throwing them off. lol) Should be a good game.
Edge: ULV leos in this game

oldcat · February 11, 2009, 01:25:05 AM

I heard a rumor today that Jolly from La Verne quit today. Is this true?

He started their game today against Cal Poly, Pomona so I would say that it is just a rumor. Who knows though...

Browneagle64 · February 11, 2009, 10:48:29 AM

I hope it just rumors. The guys on this team need him and his experience. With the loss of top key players from last year, he needs to understand that he must now take the leadership role that Sweet, Mehl and Marcus left behind. Sometimes guys need to just realize (even though no one on the team may tell them upfront) that they need to show leadership via their actions (in this sense, playing/ pitching your butt off in order to spark your team/brothers into playing great baseball). In saying that, I hope he stays with the club, because, as of now the Leos will need him if they are to defend their SCIAC crown.

Anyone else happen to catch the CalLu game this afternoon? Looks like the offense definitely isn't going to be a problem!

Agreed. La Sierra is a brutal NAIA program.

Congrats to the Leo's on their big win as of yet against the ex-SCIAC co-champs(

). From the looks of it, both clubs battled it out with the Leo's going for the 7 to 6 win this afternoon. Hope the Panthers can bounce back from their big losses and continue to reach towards the top
