Congratulations to Beloit and Coach DeGeorge on winning the MWC tourney and the NCAA automatic bid. It's been a long time since a Beloit College athletic team performed at this level. Now if the basketball program could just get started on the long road back to respectability.

Both St Norbert and Beloit get into the tournament, both making the Midwest Region being played at Tidleman Field in Oshkosh Wisconsin. St. Norbert recieved the 4 seed, and Beloit recieved the 6 seed in the 6 team bracket.

#6 Beloit comes up just short of pulling off the first upset of the tournament, losing to #1 St. Olaf, 2-1 in 11 innings.

They left too many on. A hit here or a hit there and they win easily. FYI. No upsets in baseball.

Really? Then what do you call it when the team favored to win doesn't?

Come on now..... You wouldn't have called it an upset if Carthage had lost their first two games of the CCIW Tournament?

Not at all. Baseball is a funny game in which even teams that does everything right can get beat by the team that does everything wrong. It is the only game in which the defense controls the ball

There is no such thing as an upset when all the teams have earned the right to be here.

Now all these guys can go play for the Beloit Brewers.

The Roop · May 16, 2009, 04:13:58 AM

Beloit has been a Twins affiliate for a number of years.

I don't think they've been called the Brewers either for a long time, even when they were the Brewers affiliate. I think it's been at least 15 years now they've been known as the Snappers. The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in Appleton are now the Brewers affiliate.
