Don't look now, but the Spartans are on a bit of a roll, having just swept Allegheny to improve to 19-10 on the season.

It sure would be nice to see them make their first-ever Division III post-season in baseball.

What is their in-region record? It matters WAY more than their overall record does?

[DagarmanSpartan]

I'd have to know exactly what their "region" consists of, but they just swept in-state rival Hiram College to run their current winning streak to 7 games, and their overall record to 21-10.

Check the FAQ's and the Mideast Region pages.

OK.

Thanks!

Based on that, as far as I can tell, CWRU is 11-6 versus teams in its region, and is 22-11 overall.

We still have ten more games against teams from our region scheduled:

2 vs. JCU
2 vs. Oberlin
2 vs. Bethany
2 vs. Wooster
1 vs. Denison
1 vs. Otterbein

Suppose we were to go 8-2 in our last ten games.  That would give us a 30-13 record overall, and a 19-8 record in our region, to go along with a second place finish in the UAA.

Would THAT be enough to get CWRU its first ever NCAA Division III playoff berth?

[BigPoppa]

It all depends on how the other Pool B teams finish....

[OshDude]

OK.

I think Case is 17-10 in-region.

[DagarmanSpartan]

I don't think so.

Several of Case's early wins were against teams not in their region, as well as against UAA teams (none of which are in their region).

On a positive note, they blanked cross-town rival John Carroll yesterday to move to 12-6 in region, and 23-11 overall.

All games against UAA teams during the Sanford trip are regional games, regardless of what region or state the opposing team is in...there's an exception for a conference tournament I believe.

[DagarmanSpartan]

Really?

OK.  Well, if that's the case, then the Spartan's regional record is even better than I thought!

And still getting better!

We just swept Oberlin, another team in our region, to set a school single season record for victories at 25.

Come on gang!

Let's make the NCAAs................FINALLY!!!

[DagarmanSpartan]

Case is now 30-12 overall.  A win over JCU, and they'll finish the regular season 31-12, with an even better regional record.

Gosh it'd be nice to see our baseball program FINALLY make the post-season.

[ADL70]

Spartans dropped the final regular season game to John Carroll.

CWRU and the other contenders for the two Pool B bids, Piedmont and Chapman, are each ranked third this week in their respective regions.

Whichever is odd team out looks pretty solid for a Pool C bid.

CWRU region record 28-13

[DagarmanSpartan]

When will the Division III playoff picks be announced?

[EttaFan1]

Playoff selections are Sunday the 15th very late at night and will be announed on Monday morning.

[ADL70]

Spartans make the field via Pool C.  The Spratans have played only one game in the last three weeks and that  was eighteen days ago.  They will be rested but will they be rusted?

The Mideast region has #1 Marietta and #9 Heidelberg.  CWRU's first opponent is  #13 Adrian, which was 1-1 against both Heidelberg and Marietta back in March.
