BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[108 Stitches]

True dat. Do their fields drain? I guess they would have to be turf to be playable, as there is no way a natural field could support the water loads. It has stopped up here so I imagine most of the games will be able to be played tomorrow.

Turf...The only dirt on the field is the pitchers mound

How many of those losses are to DIII programs? And in-region? THAT is what really matters. Many of the SCiAC school play against the NAIA teams and DII programs in the area. Those have no bearing on their overall look at then end of the day.

Non-region games matter as well. Just because it's not primary criteria doesn't mean it's not considered or it's considered last. I believe that was in a d3baseball.com interview with an NCAA official of some kind this spring.

RAIN could cancel Saturday/Sunday games
90% Chance Saturday
70% Chance Sunday

Not sure what days these games can be rescheduled to since the schedule is pretty tight in March and April with no real open weekend dates left. Would games get moved to Monday/Tuesday..Could make for some interesting pitching for next week with potentially 5/6 games in a week.

Other parts of the nation always play 5-6 games in a week... sometimes even more.

They call that baseball season in the WIAC, right?

Chapman splits today with Laverne, and ends up taking 2 of 3. Chapman won 10-3 and lost 4-3.  Maybe the bats are waking up... somewhat.
In the 10-3 win, Chapman made 6 errors? Wow.
Last week I thought they needed to sweep to enhance the Pool C.
I still think they are pushing a big boulder up a steep hill.
The boulder might be slightly smaller and the hill slightly less steep.
From simply looking at the box score, this still does not come through as a Regional team.

[CrashDavisD3]

La Verne 4 Chapman 3. Chapman 5th 1 run loss this year.

Chapman now is 9-11 overall and will have a very difficult time to get back into the Pool C bids consideration...

20 games are now left. 18 in region....
