BB: SLIAC: St Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[hopefan]

OH MY GOSH... I saw the Webster - Eureka score in St Louis Post Dispatch and figured a misprint.... the score read  Webster 40 Eureka 4.... Unbelievable, it's correct.. in 7 innings (Webster batted in only 6 innings)

Box score on SLIAC.org shows Webster, 40 runs, 39 hits, 10 walks, Eureka 5 errors... Webster had 5 doubles, 4 home runs

Score by inning  :  11,  4,  0,  4,  15,  6     =   40

Webster likely used everyone that was dressed, with only 2 starters having 5 or 6 at bats

STILL, how much is too much?

Also noticed Cody Behrens, a very nice shooter for the EC Basketball team, got a chance to pitch... 1/3 of an inning, 6 hits, 1 walk, 1 hit batter, 8 runs... Cody, stick to hoisting up those 3 point shots!!!!

The box score I saw says 31 hits. As for how much is too much, I'm not sure what you're supposed to do if they can't get you out. The game was supposed to go 9 innings but was called after seven because of the 10 run rule. Several Webster pitchers saw time at infield positions and got at bats -- and even hits.

Correct Yjak...I misread hits... 31 is right

Greenville beats Westminster, Webster beats Spalding, Westminster then beats Spalding, eliminating Spalding..

Today, weather permitting, Greenville and Webster square off, then the loser of that game will face Westminster in an elimination game..

Wow... Webster loses to Greenville yesterday, then to Westminster today and is eliminated... Westminster and Greenville play for conference tourney championship and auto bid to NCAA Tourney... Westmin needs two wins, Greenville just one....

Question, will Webster be considered for an at large bid?

I can't seem to find the regional rankings right now, but weren't they #1 in the Central?  Yeah, I'd say they are a virtual lock.  (They should be #1 at the table for C bids from the Central, and I can't believe the Central would be passed over 14 straight times!)

Good to hear Ypsi... as you can tell, I don't follow D3 baseball... spring is the time to consider next year's basketball season....but I will always root for the 'home team'..

Ahhh, wouldn't it be nice if the SLIAC could climb the D3 hoops ladder to the point where the thought of an at large bid at tourney time could be considered....

It was a rough first two innings for the Webster pitchers against Greenville, falling behind 9-0. Then a long rain delay. They outscored Greenville 6-1 once play resumed, but 9 runs turned out to be too many to make up, even with eight innings at the plate  Once you get into the losers bracket you have to win three straight to win the tournament. After Westmin beat Webster they beat Greenville to force the "if necessary" game, but couldn't pull off the third straight win. Congrats to Greenville. Hope Ypsi is right that Webster gets an at-large bid.

Webster and Greenville head to the regional hosted by Wartburg in Waverly, Iowa....

[hopefan]

Greenville falls to UW Stevens Point  7-4;  Webster squeezes by Carthage 4-3 on Day 1 of regionals... Anderson beats Wartburg in other game..

Day 2 will have Greenville vs Carthage in elimination game, Webster vs Anderson, Stevens Point vs Wartburg in must win game for Wartburg..

Webster did not have third baseman Jeff Kammer (.394 BA, 9 HR, 42 RBI) in the lineup yesterday. Hope he's okay.

Very clever. I get the Matt Carpenter reference. I was wondering if he might have had to stay behind to take an exam or deal with some sort of academic requirement, especially since he is a senior.

I'd be surprised if the reason for his absence doesn't remain private, but it is not health related.

He's entitled to his privacy. It's certainly none of my business. I should probably not even have speculated. I think the main thing I was wondering has been answered in that it sounds like he won't be playing in the regional -- or beyond should Webster win.
