BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

F.Y.I

According to research done by our very own board moderator, Ralph Turner, the mighty hen's are being looked and considered to be a strong team out here in the west. However, i am sure the committee probabily overlooked U.L.V's team, who i think, will be a tough opponent in SCIAC play this season.

Yeah, you write a great 5 page review, and the editor cuts its 2 pages!!!!     

Part of the article that got edited was my anticipation of the Texas Lutheran trip to southern California.  TLU plays ULV and Redlands in a pair of DH's.  That really tests the TLU pitching staff.  Those games and the George Fox at McMurry 3-game series are big that weekend!

I hope that your SID will post the game reports from the snowbird games in March.  Those should be fun, including the Kean games!

Oxy is up 4- 1 against Whitman College in the 7th inning

[Browneagle64]

At the end of 7, Oxy added two more scores making it 6-1. Man, its great to be able to come back to Anderson field, be able to sit in my old sport with my laptop right outside Stewie Hall and watch some Tiger baseball on a clear and sunny saturday afternoon. 8)

After 9 complete innings, the men in orange and black get their first win of the season. Congratulations to Oxy and the pitching staff today. Beind Matt Jones, Kris Suzuki and closer Doherty, the boys got the job done. Can't wait for this afternoon's game in 30 mins. Should be fun to watch.

Is Oxy's President, who used to be president at Whitman,  there?

[Browneagle64]

That's a good Question Fox.

First of all, I've never seen a picture of the guy, so i don't know how he looks like. 2nd of all, i do see an elderly fella out here, but i'm afraid i may confuse him with the always present Oxybob. And 3rd of all, to tell you the truth, i always sit at the very top of Anderson field (never in the stands with the fans) as i used to do back when i was living on campus.

Here is a picture.  It was hard to find.

Skotheim and his wife Nadine have three grown sons and daughters and eight grandchildren.

In Skotheim's bio, he has "three grown sons and daughters".

Does that mean he has 6 children?   

Or which is plural...the sons or the daughters?

Congrats to Whitman on finishing today's game. My Tigers committed two big errors in the 7th inning that openned the flood gates for the missionaries. In deed, 6 strong innings did go to waste after these errors. However, i do hope the boys will fix such mistakes before the take the field again against the Pios this upcoming week.

From the Oxy website:
Eighteen hits and ten runs were not enough to overcome errors and runners left on base today as the Tigers dropped an 11-10 decision to Whitman College at Anderson Field in the finale of a three game series.

As they did yesterday the Missionaries took an early lead with a run in the top of the first. Occidental quickly go ahead when senior centerfielder Matt Andersen connected for a two-run first inning homerun.

Oxy added a pair in both the second and third innings before Richard Vehil led off the fifth with a solo shot to center field, putting the Tigers up 7-1.

Six strong innings from freshman Ross Pomerantz was wasted as things went sour for the Tigers in the seventh. Three Tigers pitchers combined to allow seven runs on three hits, four walks and three errors as the Missionaries sent 12 men to the plate.

Oxy battled back, scoring two runs in the bottom part of the inning, taking a 9-8 lead.

Whitman continued the assault in the top of the eighth, adding three more runs on back-to-back doubles after the first two batters singled and advanced on Oxy errors. Spencer Woolwine came in from left field, recording the final two outs of the eighth.

In the bottom of the eighth Case Miyahira and Patrick Sarkissian drew walks before Andersen hit a sac fly to center, scoring Miyahira from third.

Woolwine took the hill again in the ninth, keeping WC off the board, sitting two batters down on strikes.

A late Oxy rally fell short as Vehil was stranded on third following a single and stolen base to lead off the inning.

Occidental left 19 men on base, which proved costly in the end. The offense was led again by Andersen who was 3-5, a triple away from a cycle, with five RBIs and three runs. Miyahira and Vehil combined for six hits. Woolwine, Franks and junior transfer Ryan Falck each singled twice. Falck also drew two walks, was hit by a pitch and scored twice.

Whitman's 11 runs came on 12 hits with two from Luke Marshall, Erik Korsmo and Michael Lazcano.

Defensively both teams struggled, committing five errors apiece.

Pomerantz scattered five hits over six, allowing one earned run, walking four in his Oxy debut. Woolwine faced just six batters, recording three Ks.

The Tigers fall to 1-2 on the young season while the Missionaries return to Washington with a 2-1 season record.

Oxy will take the field again on Sunday, Feb. 17 when they host the Pioneers of Lewis and Clark (OR) for a doubleheader starting at 11:00 a.m. on Anderson Fiel

Oh ya, one more thing, congrats to the Leo's in taking one game away from a good Cal State East bay team yesterday. However, like the boys in Orange and black today, the leo's couldn't finish their game.

Hey Folks,

Just F.Y.I, our Co-SCIAC baseball champs, the mighty panthers of Chapman, take on "the Who" in Thousand Oaks this Friday for what should be a really tough game.
Then on saturday both clubs meet up in the O.C. for a double header.
I hope that Scandii has his sun screen and baseball cap ready because boy will these upcoming three games be really hot for the Who.

Any word on the Poets and hens?? 

[Just_Some_Guy]

Any word on the Poets and hens?? 

The Hens are 1-1. They fell in their first game of the season to Point Loma Nazarene 2-7, and then defeated Cal State San Bernardino 6-5.

The Hens trailed CSUSB 5-1 entering the ninth but scored 5 runs on 4 hits and two costly errors to beat the Coytoes.

The Poets are currently 0-4.

La Verne is 2-3, The Redlands are 3-1 and Cal Lu opened up 2-1.

La Verne split with Biola and then lost 2 of 3 to Cal State East Bay.
The Redlands beat up on La Sierra. There loss is to Cal Baptist.

Cal Lutheran has Chapman this weekend.
La Verne and the Redlands have DH's with Texas Lutheran this weekend, though for some reason the Leopards games are not listed on the SCIAC master schedule.

Should be a good weekend to get some indication of how those three teams will present themselves this year.

It looks like so.cal will have some great weather this weekend just in time for another round of baseball.

The panther v.s. who series should be interesting to hear about. Not only will we be finding out if Cal Lu will have a strong team this year, but, we will also learn if the panthers are indeed ready to re-peat as Co-sciac champs (hahah, just kidding on this by the way).

As for the Leo and Texas Lutheran game, i hope that this series will be great to watch. I'll have the chance to catch part of game one ,as i'll be on campus handling business tomorrow, and am looking forward to seeing how both teams play.
I am sure the SCIAC is ready to represent this weekend.

As for my tigers, i'll be attending Sunday's DH and am hoping that this time around they take both games away from the Pio's.
