Kudos to my Spartans for sweeping 9th ranked Marietta. Hopefully, this will be enough to get us an at large bid?

Or a pool b. If they win a pool b instead of c, would they probably be a higher seed in the regional?

I don't think the pool a team qualifies in has any bearing on the seed. I know many teams that grabbed a Pool A that were a #6 or #8 seed as well as many Pool C teams that were #1 seeds.

+1 poppa thanks.

WUStL being left out is just not right. No reason Thomas More should get in ahead of them, not even travel.

And CWRU gets moved to one of the two toughest brackets.

DagarmanSpartan · May 13, 2013, 02:12:41 PM

One thing's for sure.

If CWRU advances out of THAT bracket, then it'll be proof that they can accomplish ANYTHING.

CWRU finishes second in the region, defeating then #2 St. Thomas and then losing to regional champs UW Stevens Point 1-0. Spartan pitchers had a cumulative 1.59 ERA in the four regional games.

Ended the season ranked #21.

Keen, Pakan, Osolla, Hora, and Gish will be big losses (although Gish potentially has another year of eligibility). But in the regional, Johnstone and Fortunato showed they have what it takes to lead the pitching staff next year. Kean, a four year starter at shortstop, will be the hardest to replace.

Congratulations to Andrew Gronski, for making the All Star team in the New York Collegiate Baseball Leaqgue.

Also teammate Rob Winemiller

According to this article NYU will add baseball for 14-15 as result of merger with NY Poly. Looks like their spring break is a week later than the UAA tourney though.

Bishopleftiesdad · October 06, 2013, 05:23:45 PM

ADL could you provide a link. I do not see one.

What chance of CMU ever adding baseball? I know they have it as a club sport.

ADL70 · October 06, 2013, 07:21:26 PM

http://nyunews.com/2013/09/23/merger/ Not sure why CMU doesn't field baseball (or softball either). It appears their spring break matches the UAA tourney.

WOW!!!

Case just beat Guilford 23-11, with one player going 6 for 7, hitting for the cycle, getting 2 HRs, and batting in 7.

Sounds like a dang football score!

Bishopleftiesdad · February 23, 2014, 06:01:46 PM

That was Andrew Gronski. He is a very good player. I am glad he is having Success at Case.

ADL70 · February 23, 2014, 10:04:35 PM

Spartans finish the weekend southern swing 4-0. Adding a 18-3 win over F&M and 13-12 win over home team Guilford.

Sr 3B Gronski has a BA of .714 and SLG% 1.19 2 2B 1 3B 2 HR 10 RBI

So 1B/DH Noah Sherman who missed last season due to injury did almost as much in fewer than half Gronski's ABs, BA ,667 2 2B 2 HR 10 RBI

Concerns over a power shortage, with all 11 of last year's HRs and half the 2Bs having graduated with Keen, Pakan, and Ossola, proved unfounded, as six players totaled 10 round trippers already. Jr Gronski, Sherman, So C Jordan Swisher, and Sr SS Andrew Frey each contributed 2 a piece.

Pitching was feast or famine with a few excellent outings and other disappointing ones. Two starters, Sr LH John Fortunato and So RH Neal Krentz, each went 5 innings for wins. Fortunato held Guilford scoreless on four hits, while Krentz gave up 2 ER on four hits. Outstanding relief stints were turned in by Jr RH Robert Winemiller (4 IP 2 H 0 R), Fr RH Jake Shields (3.2 IP 3 H 0 R), and Fr LH Andrew Rossman (2 IP 1 H 0 R). Other had control issues with a total of 27 BB and 4 HBP in 36 frames.

Next weekend's series with Wooster looks kinda doubtful with another cold blast coming down. Then it'll be eight games in seven days in Fla at the UAA's March 9-15. CWRU and WUStL are defending co-champs.
