BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[BigPoppa]

In regard to the Gorloks, last year they didn't necessarily look like the better overall team.  However, yesterday they flat out dominated IWU.  They controlled the game from start to finish.  The CCIW may be experiencing a bit of a reality check.  Sure, they sent a team to the World Series last year.  But with 3 teams in a regional, they have a 50/50 chance of doing so.  We'll have to see how the rest of the playoffs go this year.

Reality check? The CCIW went 2-1 yesterday against the best teams in the nation. I say that is a pretty good record, even if it is a limited sample.

Baseball is a funny game that way...take the Brewers / Cardinals Monday night.  Wainwright OWNS the Brewers over his career...and he was going up against Dave Bush.  The Brewers found a way to win convincingly.

The Gorlocks are a tough team, no doubt, and proved it yesterday, but to say that the CCIW got a reality check yesterday...a bit of a stretch.  That being said, IWU got a reality check for certain.

I am still not certain why Aronson did not throw game #1. regardless of what the stats say, he is their best pitcher and has the experience to win big games.

IWU going 2 and out is terribly disappointing.  Wow.

I would like to feel bad for IWU, but the Carthage in me will not let it happen. Still, the CCIW in me feels betrayed by their performance the last two days. It opens the door for UWSP to take the bid.

Well if 2 other teams beat IWU, why does that open the door for UWSP?

[RedMan1]

Does anyone have a live feed for the Carthage game coming up in about 30 minutes?

Also, Wesleyan losing was very disapointing. 0-4 there last 4 regional games?

No offense to Augustana and the other that are left, I simply meant that UWSP is now the highest seeded team left in the regional. I hope Augie takes care of business from here on out. I do not want to hear the WIAC posters put the CCIW down.

FYI: UW-Oshkosh elimanted this afternoon by St. Thomas 3-1.

[BigPoppa]

Carthage down 7-0 in the 3rd. What a mess, errors, HBPs and a grand slam will do that to you.

It's now 14-0 in the 5th.

[augie28]

Ouch, hopefully Carthage can jump back.

Augie beat UW-Stevens Point 4-3.

They play at 7:00 on friday vs. the winner of the UWSP/Webster game and will be playing on Saturday win or lose.

[BigPoppa]

Carthage falls to Whitewater 24-3 (not a typo).

Expect the Redmen to come out swinging tomorrow.

Here's the article in today's paper from the kenosha news. Augie says that if a team loses by 20 runs it should count as 2 losses and the team should be eliminated!  HAHA

Carthage is down 5-0 in the fifth, not looking good! 

[BigPoppa]

Now down 7-0... a terrbile end to a great season for the Redmen.

[REDMENFAN]

8-2 now in the 8th. It'd take a minor miracle to pull this one out
