maryville took game one. bottom 7th fontbonnes up 6 5 on webster.

[MyArmHurts]

going into the 9th fontbonne has a 6 5 lead. wiley strikes out fuiten and biagini to end the 8th.

[MyArmHurts]

fontbonne holds on for a 6 5 win

Unbelievable... Now, Maryville In my opinion becomes the favorite. Yes Fontbonne just knocked off the big dog, but they have to be able to come back and play tommorow with that same intensity.

Something is just telling me the Saints will knock the Griffins off tommorow.

I have lost the live stats for Webster vs Greenville... anyone getting those?

[baseball09]

Nevermind, the game is in a rain delay. Webster's site says still a chance to play tonight. Man, one can only wonder what the late night will do to effect Webster with a lot of work left ahead of them

The Webster/Greenville game is currently in a RAIN DELAY!!! The Gorloks are trailing 2-1 with two out and nobody on in the bottom of the fourth inning. No decision has been made about when the game with resume. It's still a chance the game could start tonight .... check back to www.websterathletics.com or www.sliac.org for more updates.

Someone correct me if I am wrong here...

I am thinking of worst case scenerio... if the rain comes down alot this weekend, and this tournament cannot be finished... Since Webster lost, is Maryville now in the drivers seat if the tourney is cancelled for the automatic bid? If I remember right, last season the rule was the highest seeded team that is undefeated would be given the bid... Perhaps Maryville is hoping for a monsoon?

[baseball09]

Webster and Greenville are suspended until tomorrow!

tommorow schedule:

Resume Webster vs Greenville ... 2-1 Greenville lead in 4th... at 4 PM
Maryville vs Fontbonne at 5:30
then the winner of Webster vs Greenville faces the loser of Maryville vs Fontbonne at 8:30

lets hope the rain stays AWAY!

[MyArmHurts]

So, does the postponement of the Webster/Greenville game favor Webster, who lost a tough one against Fontbonne and was then down to Greenville in the 4th? Does the 20 hour layoff they have until the game resumes allow them time to change their approaches at the plate and regroup to make a run in the SLIAC tourney? 

Overall great day of baseball in the SLIAC tourney yesterday.  Greenville had Maryville down 3-1, but had some struggles catching fly balls and pop ups.  Greenville never let up and got an 8-3 win.

Fontbonne got off to a hot start yesterday, scoring 2 in the first.  It seemed like everytime FU scored WU matched it or at least got one run back.  Jurguensmeyer had a huge home run (and by huge I mean significant, not 500 ft) in the 7th which was the only run that Stanley allowed in 5 2/3 inning of nearly flawless relief.  Sean Wiley gutted his way through Webster's lineup a couple of times, getting Fuiten and Biagini to strike out.  Kyle Starne's lead off single in the 9th looked like it may spark a comeback, but following a Nathan Shelton sac bunt, he got Aaron Senzell to strikeout and Zach Little to fly out to center.

Didn't stay for the nightcap, but I know that Greenville held that 2-1 lead.  Should be an interesting evening tonight.

Weather not looking real good during the day in Highland.  Looks like there's a pretty good chance of some heavy rain between now and about 7 pm tonight.  Might just be a wet day/night out at Glik.

anyone notice that there is no story on d3baseball.com of the upset over Webster? They are on the site after EVERY win, but once they get upset, NO STORY... just thought that was interesting

WOW! Get over it. The fact is that most of the community is watching other conference tourneys. Webster is NOT the D3Baseball.com darling that you are implying. The bigger news was that St. Scholastica was upset by an up-and-coming Bethany Lutheran last night.

[baseball09]

I will not be able to be at a computer tonight... will anyone be able to Tweet or text me SLIAC updates??? PM ME!
