Thanks for the Stag update!

Congratulations to the Stags on a good start of the season.
Wow, CMS is slowly creeping up on us in the SCIAC and in their non-league results. Awesome job the stags on taking away two games from the Poets this past weekend. From the looks of it, CMS is out on a mission in 07 to spoil some dreams. Heres what they have done so far against good teams and decent teams:
SAT Feb. 10 CAL STATE EAST BAY (2) 5-3, 8-7              Wins (2-1
FRI Feb. 16 PACIFIC UNIVERSITY 8-7 (10)                             3-1
SAT Feb. 17 PACIFIC UNIVERSITY (2) 4-9, 3-14                      3-3
TUE Feb. 20 Chapman University 3-4                                      3-4
FRI Feb. 23 *WHITTIER 6-8                                                    3-5,  0-1
SAT Feb. 24 *Whittier (2) 9-7 (10), 5-3                                    5-5, 2-1

Congratulations to Former Redlands Baseball Player Nick Cavanagh who recently just Signed with the Houston Astros.
Whats funny is that  former Cal Lu Baseball player Jason Hirsch will be nick's future teammate. 
Here's some more info on MLB prospect Nick Cavangh:
It was announced last week that former University of Redlands baseball player Nick Cavanagh (Big Bear Lake, CA) signed with the Houston Astros after a short stint with the Chillicothe Paints of the Frontier League East Division.

According to a press release from the Paints, Cavanagh has already reported to the Lexington Legends, a Class-A farm affiliate of the Astros and a member of the South Atlantic League.

Cavanagh received a spot on the Frontier League East Division All-Star team this year by leading the league in strikeouts with 88 in 64.1 innings pitched to go along with an ERA of 2.24.

A 2004 graduate of the University of Redlands, Cavanagh served as one of the Bulldogs' top pitchers. As a senior, he threw 64 strikeouts in 79.1 innings to lead the team in both categories. During his junior season, he also provided a solid arm for Redlands, accumulating 64 strikeouts in 67 innings.

Jason Hirsch was traded to the Colorado Rockies for Jason Jennings.  There were others involved, of course.  Point is, Hirsch is gone.

Congrat to Nick Cavanagh though.  It is a very difficult thing to get signed out of Independent ball when you haven't previously been drafted.  Most guys that get picked up were once there to begin with.  We need more and more players like Nick and Jason to have success so that less D3 players are overlooked in the future.  Good luck to both of them in the future.

Wow, i had no clue the the SCIAC site still posted old information. When i got on the site today for somebasketball info, the site format looked new and exciting. Of course, when i clicked on baseball, the News release about Mr. Cavanagh, was the first thing that it shows. What a rip off.

UT-Cat. Even though, Mr. Hirsh just got traded last night, Thanks for the update on Hirsh.

No problem, Browneagle.  However, he was traded back in December.

So much baseball going on right now and a lot of schools nor does the sciac website point out the scores:
Mar. 2  La Verne     Claremont-M-S      9 inn. 2:30 pm   
 
   Occidental     Whittier      9 inn. 2:30 pm   
 
   Cal Lutheran     Caltech      9 inn. 2:30 pm   
 
   Redlands     Chapman      9 inn. 2:30 pm
AHHHHH, all i wanted to do this afternoon was to catch some baseball before Oxy's first round dance at the D3 basketball tourney...and in return i get nothing.
Keep us updated people.

[2X All-American]

Chapman 16 - Redlands 5
W - Drag (5-0)  L - Walker (3-1) 
HR - CU - Yacko (5) UR - Wetmore

[BigPoppa]

Seems clear to me that Redlands may be getting better, but they are clearly NOT ready to play with the Chapman's of the world.

BP      Chapman is definetly the favorite in the west but I dont think that you can pass judgment on UR on one game, despite the lopsided score.  Lets at least wait until 3-21-07 first.  You may be right though.

[Tom Brady]

Hmmmmm, that seems to me like somebody is a little bitter about getting spanked by his former school....although I could be wrong.

It seems to me like Chapman is the class of So Cal and everyone else is VERY far behind.  I also think the SCIAC is up for grabs, judging by the way the games have been turning out.

WT

What I was saying is that one game does not a series make, despite the lopsided score.  There are so many factors that come into play that can change in the next game.

[Browneagle64]

Congratulation to the Leos for taking 2 of three away from the stags over the weekend. Even though the Men in green pin-stripes started off saturdays first D.H. game really bad, they sure made the last D.H. game really exciting, fun and thrilling. If they can keep this up i am sure they will be in the hunt for the SCIAC crown. Btw, the stags pitcher Vicente Lopez, did a great job during the first game on saturday, look for him to be a top pitcher this year in the SCIAC.

As for my tigers, well congratulations on at least getting a big W against Whitter on saturday afternoon.

Cal Lutheran    4-2  9-6 
Pomona-Pitzer  2-1 8-4

bp     Obviously I am a fan of UR but I would logically argue they have the inside track and are the favorite to win the SCIAC  again.  I base this on the fact that almost the entire team from last years championship team is returning.  Of course, that means nothing unless they perform.  I seriously doubt that Coach Laverty will let the dawgs rest on their laurels.  I expect CLU  and ULV to be the biggest challenges.  Good luck to all and hopefully the SCIAC representative will do well in the tourney.
