Even though Carthage won, I'd have to say that the CCIW had a very disappointing day. I really thought that all 3 CCIW teams would win today. Augie I was kind of up in the air about, but IWU was a real disappointment. Hopefully Augie can beat IWU tomorrow and make a run to meet up with Carthage in the championship (hopefully they get there).

I tell ya guys what, sitting in a two hour class with and not being able to get updates is he**!! That class seemed like an eternity. Keep it going Redmen

Couple things Augie mentioned in the paper today: He stated he was disappointed that both IWU and Augustana lost because he thinks very highly of the CCIW. He also said that other than a few bad pitches, Jacob through pretty well most of the game. He gave Wash U. a lot of credit, stating their a good ball club, and they came after us hard. Lastly, Augs said it wasn't pretty, but the last thing you want to do is be in the loser's bracket after the first day

IWU/Augie is going to be a battle today as they have already squared off 4 times and split it at 2-2. It is shocking, to me, that both lost yesterday. I know that Augie was a #6 seed, but I truly thought they were going to beat Luther. IWU gambled a bit with their pitching, but it did not appaer to be a factor as they had a lead and lost it in the bullpen.

We have Scoreboard support from the Central today -- lookin' good so far.

knarocky22 · May 17, 2007, 01:25:25 PM

Augie up 2-0 after 1 1/2. Augie coming to bat in the 2nd.

REDMENFAN · May 17, 2007, 01:59:16 PM

Augie and IWU tied up at 3-3 now in the fifth

football2007 · May 17, 2007, 02:31:46 PM

Augie up 4-3 7th inning

BigPoppa · May 17, 2007, 04:30:58 PM

IWU is knocked out by Augie 6-5.

Very reminiscent of the 1996 Carthage team that rolled through the season and stumbled in the CCIW tourney and it carried over into the NCAAs with a 0-2 performance.

Great season for the Titans regardless.

Wow, the Titans go 20-1 in conference play, and then go a combined 1-4 in the CCIW tourney and in regionals. I never would have guessed that. Congrats to Augustana for staying alive, hopefully Carthage handles business tonight and somehow we can get an all CCIW regional final

Congrats to Augie...a huge extra innings win vs. IWU to keep their season alive. Eric Knott threw 10 innings before giving way to Mike Pagano who picked up the victory. The same young pitching that was a huge question mark at the beginning of the season has been a big part of their late run...they would definatly not still be playing if not for freshmen Matt Erickson, Mike Pagano and Jon Carlson.

Augie will play at 3:00 tomorrow but there are a few possibilities for how the day will play out

If Luther beats Wash U, only 4 teams will remain:
Augie 1-1 vs. Loser (Carthage/Webster) 1-1
Luther 2-0 vs. Winner (Carthage/Webster) 2-0

If Wash U. beats Luther, 5 teams will remain:
Luther 1-1 vs. Loser (Carthage/Webster) 1-1
Augie 1-1 vs. Wash U 1-1
Winner 2-0 (Carthage/Webster) vs. Winner of the Luther game 2-1
