BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[DickWhitman]

Huge series win for CMS over La Verne. Had a chance to sweep but had to settle for a split on Saturday. CMS is doing it all right now.... Elite hitting, great pitching, and great defense.

CMS -- 1A 2H Cal Tech  Cal Lutheran 1H 2A (Redlands 2-1, but 1-2 to PP)
Redlands 1A 2h LaVerne (Tie breaker 2-1 over PP, but 1-2 vs CMS)
PP -- 1A 2H vs Cal Lu; 1H 2A vs Oxy as per PP web page (1-2 vs Redland, but 2-1 vs CMS)

Seeding for the SCIAC will be interesting these last couple of weeks. La Verne has a 2 game lead over CMS who would hold the tie breaker. They have some tough games against the Chapman and Chabot, 3 against a good Redlands lineup, and 1 against PP which I can't tell is a mistake on the website. Cal Lu tied with La Verne has 6 very tough conference games to go.

My prediction is:
1. La Verne
2. CMS
3. Cal Lu
4. PP
5. Redlands
