FB44, I probalby won't make it. I gotta coach my team in a tournament all weekend, or else I'd love to be there. Give me a call if you stay in town though, a few of the old roommates are going to be in town and we're all going out Saturday night! On another note, racine product Vinny Rottino went yard yesterday for the brewers against the A's. Promising 3rd baseman Ryan Braun hit a grandslam and a 3-run homer. Go brew-crew!

Well I don't think im gonna make it now because of weather and I will be up all night at a concert so I will catch you on the flip side

Augie split with Grove City today. They end their first trip 5-1.

Not a bad start for Augustana right out of the gate. It bodes well for the CCIW if 2-3 team have great trips and make runs at the NCAAs.

Actually, I was mistaken, Augustana had one more game left on their trip and defeated Concordia (Minnesota) 18-13 to end the trip 6-1.

Which Concordia in Minnesota? Concordia-St. Paul is a D2 school. Concordia-Moorhead is a D3 school.

NPU's opener at Franklin was snowed out. No word on when, or if, the game will be rescheduled.

Moorhead

Wheaton wins on Saturday in Arizona 8-5 vs Concordia-Chicago (previously River Forest). Today's game v Beloit should be just underway.

Former 1st base coach at Carthage over the last 4 years Jarvis Brown is off to a 3-0 start after the weekend as head coach of UW-Parkside. Losing him and Cibbs is a huge blow to the coaching staff, but I'm sure Augie and the rest of the coaches will still do a great job this year getting the guys ready

At the Wheaton website you can hear an interview with Coach Elder.

What happened to Cibby??

First time post.

Augie came back 6-1 from their first spring trip. A bright offensive trip finished up with a team AVG of .325, led by lead off hitter CF Marc Blakeley (.517, 4 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 10 RBI), C Jake Meisenbach (.407, 5 2B, 10 RBI) and Freshman 1B Tyler Anderson (.438 in 4 games). The offense should continue to be a strength of the team as the majority of a strong line-up from last year is returning and three freshman (Anderson, Eric Izzo and Mike Odenthal) seemed to make a most of their opportunities to earn the remaining starting spots at 1B and 3B.

The team's starting pitching was strong, as it should have, with Kuntz and Engle anchoring the rotation and Junior transfer Eric Knott recording 14Ks in 13IP. Numerous freshman got their chance in bullpen action as well, but only time will tell how the pitching staff will look after Kuntz/Engle/Knott. A 10 run meltdown in the last 4 innings against 1-6 Concordia-Moorhead including 7 BBs is something they will surely look to improve on next weekend in Arizona.

The Vikings will take on UW-La Crosse, University of Chicago and Monmouth College next weekend in Phoenix, AZ.

BP, Cibbs just simply wanted to spend more time with his family. He has a few young daughters and wants to be see their softball games, etc. This will be his second year now not coaching. He is still at a lot of the home games, but the time committment was too much with his girls growing up. Cibbs was always a player favorite, the best bp thrower I've ever seen, and has a great baseball mind. Hopefully he'll decide to help out the Redmen again in the future.

North Park leaves for its spring trip (Russ Matt Tournament in Phoenix) Friday morning. We will face McDaniel, Monmouth (IL), Dickinson (PA), Macalester, UW La Crosse, and Montclair State. I will try to post updates throughout the week.
