BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[BigPoppa]

You can get schedule of the individual school websites. I dont the SCIaC website lists them other than the conference games.

[Gray Fox]

Sometimes I'm too lazy to do that.  Especially when having them all in one place is so much easier.

I know the feeling... I am waiting for someone to post them for me.

PP opens up with a doubleheader at Westmont this weekend.  Not sure what they have coming back - lost Turner to graduation, among others.  Think they have some decent pitching returning, but not sure about the offense.

[BigPoppa]

Pomona should sweep Westmont who is a very weak NAIA. They routinely get pounded in their conference.

Agree that Westmont is not one of the better GSAC programs - nice setting for a field, though.    APU and Biola have been pretty good...

Biola has been one of the nation's top NAIA teams for a few years now... Azusa-Pacific is a quality program and Point Loma has also been nails in that conference. Look for Cal-Baptist to  make a run to the top this year. GSAC is a great NAIA conference for baseball. Quite a few players drafted every year.

Pomona split a twin bill with Westmont.  Won the 1st game 5-3, lost the the second game pretty big.  At least a couple of freshmen in the lineup for PP.

I went to the Sparky dedication at CLU on Saturday and it was great.  There were a lot of people there (over 500) and the atmosphere really shows what D-III athletics are all about.  The new field is great a dn when it is done, it will be one of the best in D-III.  I watched a little bit of the game, but left after the game got a little ugly.  The current team startedout a little slow but had a big inning where they scored about 10 runs.  Saw a kid hit an absolute bomb to left-center.  It takes a little bit of juice to get the ball out of the park, much different than the old field.  Looks like some games coming up this week in the SCIAC, good luck to all.

Congrats to Cal Lu... always nice to get good publicity in the paper. A new field will be a big boost for recruiting.

[Tom Brady]

I think the new facilities will help Cal Lu as a school, but will help ALL sports bring in the kids that go to other schools because of their facilities.  I don't think any kid will be able to use that excuse anymore.  There are some pretty nice facilities around the SCIAC, but none will match the new ones at Cal Lu......that is of course, when they are done...

[BigPoppa]

One of the problem SCIAC teams face in recruiting is that they are located in the middle os the GSAC(NAIA) and CCAA(NCAA D2) conferences. All three of these conferences are chasing the same ball players... the GSAC and CCAA school can use scholarships to real in the recruits.
