BB: UMAC: Upper Midwest Athletic Conference

[biggio34]

Saints win game 1 of DH 10-0.  0-0 game in the 5th and then CSS got into the bullpen.  Complete game by Jeff Adams.

Saints win game 2,11-5.  53 runs in the last 4 games. Don't know if the offense is that potent or opposistion is not that good.

Based on what I have seen when watching CSS, I'm guessing the opposition is not that good.  The lineup is decent, but it's not really 10 runs a game good against a real opponent.  Plus, looking at their Florida schedule, its not exactly packed with high quality teams.

That may be true,but there is not alot of difference between them and the top MIAC teams as evidenced by recent games.

Agreed, not much difference offensively.  CSS may be even alittle better.  All I was saying is that if they were playing against a good squad I don't see them putting up the kind of runs they have been putting up.  That generally doesn't happen against a strong opponent, no matter how good your offense is.

CSS just won 17-0 against Centenary College.  Nice pitching performance out of Matt Lewis for the Saints.  They are now 7-2 on the year.  They have five more games in Florida later in the week.

Manhattanville is generally a decent team and has won their conference 3 years in a row, probably a mid MIAC team but not sure how they are this year. UWS is by far their biggest game that entire spring trip. Not only is it an in-region game against a decent UWS team, but this may be their first match against each other (may have played before) despite being located 15 minutes apart.

...if UWS is BY FAR the biggest game on your trip, then the spring trip schedule is BY FAR one of the easiest of any team's in the country.

I didnt say it was the best team they were playing, just said its in region and since its their only in region game, THAT makes it the most important. It wouldnt matter if they played Wooster, playing Wooster doesnt get you into the tourney. Figure out it out!

Isn't Central an in region game too?  Wouldn't that be just as big a game?  I will spend the rest of my day trying to 'figure out it out' though.

Sorry missed them, but still UWS is bigger than them since they are so closely located. But if you think someone is a bigger game for them on their trip... Remember most teams dont necessarily schedule who they play on spring trips and are kind of locked into who is at the same location during the same spring break

Bethany swept st johns. 9 to 1 and 6 to 3

There's been a Dorris sighting, and Callahan struck out 11 in 6 IP.

I thought the Johnnies would put up more of a fight than that.

Interesting that Dorris threw 6 innings.  That seems to rule out him being injured because you think he would have been eased back into it a bit with only a few innings for his first outing.  Is anyone ready to spill the beans on why he hasn't pitched until their 10th game of the season?
