Middle of the 9th inning now in Waltham, MA-- CWRU 25, Brandeis 17

Brandeis down to their last at-bats.   CWRU is 3 outs away from the UAA baseball title and the AQ.

This game however has been wild enough so that it would not be impossible for Brandeis to score 8 runs in the bottom of the 9th to take this game to extra innings or 9 runs in this inning to win this game outright.

CWRU may clinch the AQ today, but I really do not like CWRU's chances to win a regional in the baseball tournament with their porous defense today.

Bottom of the 9th-- 1 out

Aronwald of Brandeis has hit a solo home run shot to make this game CWRU 25, Brandeis 18.

The next batter, D. Tambiscia, strikes out swinging.

Brandeis now down to their final out.

Next batter, D. Walsh of Brandeis, walks.   Brandeis still down to their final out.

Next batter, K. Lee strikes out swinging.   

Ball game over!

  Congratulations to the CWRU Spartans-- 2025 UAA Baseball Champions-- AQ to NCAA DIII Baseball Tournament

  FINAL from Waltham, MA-- CWRU 25, Brandeis 18 

  CWRU clinches UAA baseball title-- now 13-5-1 in UAA play--(.711 win/loss pct).   Guaranteed at least a .675 win/loss pct in UAA play with a record no worse than 13-6-1 in UAA play, while Emory and Chicago can only finish at best with a .650 winning pct should these teams finish at 13-7 in UAA play.  [/b}

The issue for CWRU isn't so much defense, it's pitching. The staff is young and inconsistent.

GO SPARTANS!!!!

Great to see CWRU win the first true "full table" UAA conference baseball schedule, clinch the championship, and become among the first teams to punch its ticket to the NCAA tourney with an AQ conference title.

Actually, CWRU is the first team to officially punch its ticket in the NCAA DIII baseball tourney this year with the AQ.

Sunday action now underway in Chicago-- The starting Chicago pitcher did not last through the first inning-- gave up 4 runs and 5 hits to NYU and Chicago has now called in a long relief pitcher from the bullpen.

Starting pitcher for UChicago only lasted 2/3 of an inning this morning.

The first relief pitcher out of the bullpen then got the third out on a strikeout to end the top of the first.

Middle of first at UChicago's Kyle Anderson Field-- NYU 4, UChicago 0

First game of a doubleheader-- Doubleheader scheduled for 2 7 inning games due to get away day for NYU.
