BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[CMSfan]

Bats were quite impressive- not the least of which was Hedman.

Anybody know how many career HR Hedman has?  Seems like he could make a run at Cortez's record, no?

[Jack Parkman]

Two big series coming up this weekend in the SCIAC...

Chapman and Cal Lu are playing a home and home series Friday and Saturday.  Judging by the box scores from Saturday, either CMS has good pitching or CLU was just really bad.  Tons of guys on base but never executed anything.  I think they bounce back and split with Chapman.

Redlands travels to La Verne on Friday and hosts them on Saturday for a double header.  This is a huge series for La Verne.  If ULV has any thoughts of getting back in the race, they can not afford to lose more than one of these games.  I think they do that and ULV takes 2 of 3.

According to ncaa.com Hedman has 40 career homeruns.

I don't know if that link worked. But if you want to look, go to ncaa.com, select baseball, select stats, go to D3, individual stats- homeruns, click on Hedman, that will take you to PP stats, then click on Hedman again.

Chapman has 30 more BBs issued than Cal Lu in only three more games. Amazing. Free passes appear to be killing the Panthers.

And the Chapman pitching staff has given up 34 more earned runs in just 3 more games.  Should be telling series this weekend.

Thanks!  So, 30 HR to go.  Very doable if he stays healthy, especially given the home dimensions at Pomona.  Something to keep an eye on over the next couple years.

JSG- Love your blog... keep it up.

BigPoppa,

Truly flattered you enjoy the content I'm putting out there. I wish I had more time to write for it; it's very fun to sit down and hash-out all the baseball thoughts running through my head.

If I were smart enough to figure out how to create a blog, I might do it myself. for now, I will stick to my rants on facebook (or my tormenting of eight-graders with the economic policies of Alexander Hamilton).

Sets up a great weekend home-and-home series. I have trouble thinking Cal Lu will sweep this series. I guess we will find out if they are for real. (My hunch says Chapman takes BOTH games this weekend).

[Jack Parkman]

This is a great 2 game series (not sure why it's not 3) for both teams.  Chapman had a rough weekend, then had a great weekend in TX, and had a rough time with La Verne, but turned it around and dominated Menlo.  Which team will show up???
A sweep by either team could really hurt the other.  If Chapman sweeps, it will be a bad mark on CLU's overall record, but they could erase it by winning the SCIAC.
If Cal Lu sweeps, it will be a very bad mark on Chapman's schedule vs. D-III west teams.  Chapman has alreay lost 4 games to the SCIAC and really needs to add some wins against quality teams.

I am not too sure if the stats mean all that much right now.  They are good to look at, but thinking they might have something to do with the outcome might be a little off.  Chapman took a big step forward this past weekend against Menlo, and in my opinion, Cal Lu took a big step backward this past weekend against Claremont.  I think both games will be good games and I see a split, with both teams winning at home.

I would love to agree with Big Papa, but will have to agree with Parkman. 
It really is going to depend on what teams shows up that day - Chapman from McMurry or Chapman from LaVerne;  CLU from CMS or CLU from LaVerne.

We shall see...................

Unfortunately Hedman is a senior this year, so 30 more this season would be pretty tough. Still  is having an outstanding run though. Really says something about Cortez's feat too... 17.5 HR's a year for all four years!

Im itching for the hen's to play some real competition... cal tech this weekend. After that, though, they host Ithaca on March 9th and Hendrix on March 11th. Lots of baseball coming up, as im sure is true for all the schools getting ready for spring break. Hens will play 13 games in 16 days starting this friday. Is everybody else stuffing their schedules over the next few weeks?

Finally, I too am quite excited for the Cal Lu- Chapman series and given the hen's opponent this weekend I may try to catch a game. If so, I'll be sure to share some of what I see!

OOo. Nice call there Baseball. As of thus far, both teams have indeed shown that they are capable of winning, but also losing on any given day. In this sense, it should turn out to be a good two game series (with the panthers walking away with the W).

As for the Hens, Geeze, you guys have the Bombers coming up. These guys will be so confused in seeing that your baseball field is not covered in snow, the sky being clear and of course our weather being much better then were they are coming from. Its an easy win. For some odd reason, these foreign teams end up getting lost in the translation that "yes, the sun does shine in March out here in So. Cal"
