BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[mr_b]

Interesting to hear the Bosco pulled double duty.  I did not know that

Not only did Bosko pull double duty, he was also very successful as a baseball coach:

Bosko Djurikovic:  1978-1994
overall record: 331-295-4    .529
CCIW record:  164-103-1    .614    4 CCIW titles

Scores?  It seems during the week that conference games never update until late into the night.

final from Bloomington:

               IWU vs. NCC
game 1: 3-0
game 2: 5-1

Titans improve to 8-0 in CCIW play while NCC drops to 1-7

Wabash beat NPU, 10-7, at the U.S. Steelyard in Gary on Tuesday afternoon.

Congratulations to NPU freshman second baseman Jordan Higgins upon being named CCIW Co-Hitter of the Week! Higgins went 8-15 in NPU's four-out-of-five week against Wheaton and Augustana.

Good to see a North Park freshman make an early splash in CCIW play.

I can see another year of experience is needed for NPU to move above .500 and stay there.
At 11 and 11, trying to control my enthusiasm is very hard.

Good luck this weekend vs. top CCIW team Illinois Wesleyan (8 and 0)..

No Oney no longer plays for NPU, he no longer attends the school. Did anyone notice the regional rankings, i think it's ridiculous that no CCIW teams are in it.

Per the April 10th Poll on the ABCA site...
Central
1. Washington (22-5)
2. Wartburg (15-6)
3. Carthage (10-6)
4. Augustana (17-5)
5. Illinois Wesleyan (10-7)
6. Luther (11-5)
7. Buena Vista (9-4)
8. Edgewood (11-7)

Are you talking about the NCAA regional poll??  If so, where is that information posted?

My mistake i looked at the wrong poll.

Carthage swept a double header from Elmhurst yesterday. Augie stated in the paper that pitching has obviously been the story of the year, and IF they could muster up any sort of offense there's not too many teams that can beat them.  Its been snowing all morning in Kenosha and Racine, how's it looking in Chicago?

Well  first it was cold and wind, now it is Snow, Rain, and Wind! What is next??

I looked out my window today and saw snow flurries with wind. I checked the radar and saw a huge band moving through central Illinois last night and through Chicago as well. 

Any news on the games? I'm guessing it would be Rain for Decatur, Naperville, Elmhurst, and NPU.... Snow in Kenosha??

Keep us updated!! 

[CCIWin07]

NCC @ Augustana has just been postponed.

I have a feeling that there are more to come.

[yank52]

NPU @ Wheaton cancelled game today April 11th; rescheduled same time for Thursday April 12th.

[REDMENFAN]

Carthage/Elmhurst has been postponed, no make-up date set yet

[REDMENFAN]

Where I coach, we were planning on taking our players to Miller Park today to get away from being inside practicing every day. Ten bucks a head to watch the indians vs. angels, the snow has cancelled those plans though. Its been coming down all day and isn't supposed to stop any time soon.

Nope. Snow in the city, including at NPU. It stuck, too, rather than melted.

Looking out the window I see snow on the ground, Fog in the air and a lawsuit being prepared against "Al Gore and his hokey Global Warming hype"
Hopefully, but according to weather predictors, we will see more of this slop for the weekend and nothing will be played until next week in the Chicagoland area.

The North Park-Wheaton game rescheduled for today (Thursday 4/12) has again been cancelled.  The new date is next Thursday.  Let's hope it starts to look like spring again soon.
