BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

P-P Fan · March 15, 2009, 06:29:25 PM

Right now Hedman is sitting at 12. Here's a link to the Hens stats (they finally got a new athletics website... it's about time):

http://www.pe.pomona.edu/sports/men/bsb/2008-09/stats/teamcume.htm

As I'm writing this, however, the stats from the second game yesterday against Rutgers Newark (in which Hedman hit a HR) or the game today against Ithaca.
On that note, the Hens pulled out another win against the bombers by a score of 12 or 13 to 3. The Hens offense kept tacking on runs and then added 4 or 5 in the top of the ninth to seal the deal. Even with the injuries, they are hitting the crap out of the ball.

Not to pester, but any word on the other SCIAC teams this weekend??

P-P fan, I will put up the region rankings in a little while.
As far as the SCIAC, Pomona is on fire! I will say that the competition they are facing is not the greatest, they are killing teams. Hedman is in a zone right now!

I finally added the ASC and SCAC schools to the mix. Pretty interesting as it looks like all of the Texas schools are beating up on each other.

TEAM WINNING %
1. George Fox 1.000
2. Pomona-Pitzer .917
3. Cal Lutheran .867
4. UT Tyler .833
5. Linfield .786
Redlands .786
7. Claremont .667
8. UT Dallas .647
9. Chapman .643
10. UMHB .625

That is the top 10 as of 3/16/09

I realize there is still a lot of baseball to be played but the SCAC West needs to have a team win their conference tourney to get in.

Why in the world are the SCIAC teams playing each other in the California Invitational??? Seems like a total waste of games in my eyes.

Maybe they could not get other teams to fill the brackets this year?

I am sure thats the case. Its too bad because some of these teams have not played their regular conference series yet. I think the NWC going to a 32 game conference schedule hurts the tournament.

If the NWC was a major factor in the tourney, then I understand.

The NWC does ameliorate their scheduling problems tho'.

My 7th-grade spelling bee exit. May be the first time I've seen the word since. And to think it was simple phonetics ... Anyway, way to nerd up the boards, Ralph!

And thanks for the memory.

I must admit that I had to look the word up. Well played.

Hi Ralph,
I just recieved your letter and wants to thank you for the paper and the tag. The tag is now on display and I'll get the paper up soon as I pickup a frame to hang on the wall.

HSU will be up here this fall so I'll have to get ahold of one of the fans who'l be coming up.

Swede, thanks for the post.

You can see how we did not perceive that image of the Indian chief as hostile or abusive. It is certainly a collectors' item now.
