BB: MWC: Midwest Conference

SNC/Ripon pushed to 1:15 because IC and SNC arrived recently at Grinnell after playing at William Penn.

Looks like I slightly cursed Grinnell when I picked them this morning.  Hopefully they can bounce back this afternoon and survive to play again tomorrow.

In his defense the plate ump yesterday had an interesting zone, judging by what I saw on the GC video feed. The feed gave a good look at pitches.

What inning did he get tossed in?   

Was he trying to light a fire under his team, or did he just loose patience with the strike zone.  I did see a lot of Struck out Looking in the live stats.

I think it was in the middle of the 6th after Gusick struck out with two aboard. He was chatting with all three umpires near third base. Next thing you know, "That's it! You're done!"

He might end up getting tossed again today.....

Grinnell leads SNC 4-1 in the Top of the 3rd....

SNC loses this morning, and I would think they could kiss Regionals good-bye, as they were #5 in the rankings last week.

I assumed he couldn't coach today.

That's right...  I forgot about that.

Well you can put St. Norbert on the bubble now, as Grinnell knocks off SNC 5-2.

Do they pick up an at-large bid for the second straight year? 

I'm going to say no.....

I see no one posted this yet.  Carroll has a new coach in former player Derek Hassell.  Here is a link to the  article. http://athletics.carrollu.edu/news/detail.asp?newsid=2988&teamid=363

Not so much a freshman to watch, but keep an eye on Ripon's Adam Linsmeyer.  After missing the last two seasons due to injury, it sounds as though he is back to the form that helped him set the school record with 14 K's in a single game back in 2008. 

Anytime you have can add a a 6'6" LHP who throws consistently in the mid-80's, to a staff that already includes the 2010 MWC North Division Pitcher of the Year Kurt Roeder and fellow 1st team selection Jason Wierschke, one would expect a pretty successful season.
