BB: MIAC: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[supermiac]

Roiger and Kaczrowski

Kaczrowski production was much better and if you look at just conference stats (good to look at because they have same opponents) his are much better than Bullis's

Definitely agree.

Any thoughts on all-conference before those picks come out later this week?

I think its too bad Con catcher Kyle Johnson didn't play on a beter team, he won the 'conf-only stats' Triple Crown (.500avg tied him with Kaz for the league lead, 5hr, 24 rbi).
The coaches do put an emphasis on conf-only stats, as I've said before.

If anyone is listening to the streams, could you help a dude out with periodic scores? Every few innings or so, maybe? More often would be great, but I'm not greedy.

Quicktime crashes my system for whatever reason, and I can't get the streams, which are available for most teams. Plus, I didn't see any live stats.

StO 2 HU 1 through 7. Roiger pitching for HU, Mathison for StO. Doesn't look like USt or GAC are providing updates on their game.

Thanks a bunch.
Here's the GAC feed, although the first game appears to be over. Guessing StT romped. Or not ... I thought that's why the feed link was now gone. The GAC/StT link was up about five minutes ago. Now it only shows the 7 p.m. game.

StO-HU announcers just said the USt-GAC score was 3-1 USt. No inning mentioned.

HU has a runner at 2nd with 1 out and top of the lineup (Kaczrowski) up.

[Gustie13]

USt just blew up the other game, 8-1 through 7.

StO 2, HU 2, bottom 8

[OshDude]

You getting both via Quicktime? Let me know if you find live stats. Really wish I could have listened to Mathison vs. Roiger ...

[Gustie13]

Just listening to StO-HU, they are providing sporadic updates on USt-GAC.

StO 5 HU 2. StO scores go ahead run on throwing error by RF trying to get Ole runner advancing 1st to 3rd on a single. Double off cf wall brings in next run. Single up the middle brings in 5th run.

[Gustie13]

StO 6 HU 2. 9 Oles bat in the 8th, 2 HU errors.

Looks like it'll be StO-USt in the winners rd game.

[Gustie13]

1st Rd-
StO (Mathison) 6 - HU (Roiger) 2
USt (Schuld) 11 - GAC (Michaelis) 3

StO and HU go at each other with their #1s, both throw CGs. GAC and USt save theirs (to put it another way, GAC 'sacrificed' Michaelis)

2nd Rd
USt (Robinson) 6 - StO (Johnson) 2
GAC (Wold) 7 - HU (Mullendore) 3

Robinson and Wold throw CGs, Johnson and Mullendore get knocked out for StO and HU.

GAC and StO play tomorrow for the right to play USt. I would expect to see Dimick (or maybe Sommer) for Olaf and Bren for GAC.
USt will most likely throw Olsen against the winner, and if StO/GAC should win that game I could see the final game being a slugfest since both teams will have to go pretty deep in to their pitching staffs.

MiacBaseballFan,

I don't have a comprehensive list like Jim's link, but here are the MIAC players I can think of that are still active in Pro ball:

Andrew Schmiessing, OF, StO, MN Twins
Chris Coste, C, Con, Phillies
Brian Whinnery, LHP, UST, StP Saints
your old teammate Foster
Charlie Ruud, RHP, StO, StP Saints
Brian Sprout, INF, StO, StP Saints
Tony Konicek, OF, GAC, Evansville
Casey Haugen, C, SJU, Winnipeg *just my 2 cents, but if this guys dad wasn't SJU's coach, would he be playing professional baseball???* UPDATE: Haugen was recently released by Winnipeg.
Zach Goldberg, C, UST, *not sure about this one. As far as I can tell Goldberg played for and was released from a number of Frontier League and American Assocation teams last year, don't know if he'll be playing again* UPDATE: Goldberg was signed by Evansville of the Frontier League last week following the league tryout.
Josh Dietz, P/INF/DH, CON, Gateway *signed in Dec, released in May*

Good luck tonight vs Edgewood.


I'd guess that Lonnie Robinson (P, USt) gets drafted and that Kyle Johnson (C, Con), and Andrew Bennet (OF, Ham) both get serious looks from some independent league teams

Kyle Johnson is only a junior, which is kind of scary. He's going to make some team very happy after he graduates next year, that's all I'll say.

[OshDude]

Didn't Johnson play for an independent team last summer?

[Gustie13]

Excellent catch on Johnson only being a jr.

He couldn't have signed with an independent team, I've gotta believe that'd have to be an NCAA violation of some kind. Maybe he played for a Northwoods team? He's on the Isanti Redbirds town team roster...

Speaking of MIAC catchers and the Northwoods... Craig Henry had his offer to play in the Northwoods recinded after his numbers decreased from last year (Avg: .395 v .327, Hits: 45 v 35, Xbh 19 (2hr) v 9 (0hr), RBI 19 v 12).
