It's good to see the conference games underway in the South Division!

Monmouth and Illinois C. split a wild doubleheader in Jacksonville on Saturday, IC winning 13-12 in game 1 and Monmouth taking the 2nd game 12-6. This Saturday's games are the same match-ups at the opposite sites though: Illinois C. @ Monmouth and Knox @ Grinnell.

Ripon took two from Carroll today. Kurt Roeder gets the win in the first game 10-7. Henrickson and Beaman hit HRs for Ripon. Tim Holan takes the loss for Carrooll.

The nightcap was a pitchers duel between Ripons Jared Wierschke and Carroll's Jason Patengale. Ripon win 3-1. Ripon scored 1 in the sixth and 2 in the 7th after Carroll had taken a lead in the 5th.

The series resumes at Carroll on Saturday.

Carroll, while still struggling a bit, appears to be putting things together just as the MWC kicks in. They may not win the conference, but they will have an impact on it when all is said and done.

Carroll and Ripon split on Saturday to complete their four game series. Carroll posted a come from behind 6-5 victory in the first game. The second game was a two run game at the end of 6 and then things just snowballed away from Carroll. After Carroll had closed it to 2 Ripon scored 5 in the 7th including two unearned after a dropped ball by the 1B that would have ended the inning. Carroll just couldn't get it started again. We saw some interesting things as Carroll rotated through pitchers at break neck speed, finally finishing with Jason Patengale who had pitched 7 innings on Thursday.

Gendrich and Warner homered in the first game from Carroll, McFarland and Kastner homered for Ripon in the second game.

Monmouth swept Saturday's home doubleheader with Illinois College, 12-10 and 5-3. This coming weekend's games should be interesting considering the match-ups and the weather. Illinois C. @ Grinnell and Knox @ Monmouth...and some cold, rainy weather in the forecast for Saturday. Will be interesting to see who stays in the hunt for the playoffs at the halfway point!

Monmouth swept a home doubleheader over Knox, 6-5 and 2-1...games were played on Sunday due to Saturday's rainy weather. Good to see the Scots find a way to pull out 2 tight wins over the rival Prairie Fire. Hopefully they can do it again this weekend over in Galesburg and put themselves solidly in the playoff picture.
