4-1 end of the 7th. They always rise to the occasion. In 02 & 03 we knocked off DiSalvo and #1 Marietta two years in a row in Panama City.

Shannon,

Nope, I was buddies w/ Kuhnke, Povich, Everts, Falk, and Nemo.

My baseball claim to fame was seeing every home game (and many away games) for the 4 years I was there. That's saying something considering the lakeside venue that is Carthage...

Question for you...and this is not to put you down at all..just one of those things that I know you know the answer to.

How many more hits would it have taken in '96 to hit .400? 2? I missed being all-state in high school in cross-country by less than a stride....never forgot the kids' name or the time...

Maybe we'll see you at a game this spring.

Apparently Husing's arm is healthy?

Carthage wins 4-2

Husing went 5 innings to pick up the win.

I think those were his only two losses those years.

I think it would only have been one more hit... I was happy with the .396 considering I started the northern portion of the schedule by hitting 1-27(.037) that season... just one of those funks. Glad to see that Carthage pulled off a big win today!

I would love to catch a Carthage game this year, but I am living in Southern California right now... I tried to talk Augie into swinging out here for a long weekend, but he did not buy it.

Big confidence booster for Carthage heading in to tomorrow's double header with oshkosh. Just got off the phone with Sadjak, he said Husing was just throwing bb's and his change up was unreal. Ryan Roufus, a junior lefty threw the last 4 and also threw very well i was told. Roufus is from the Milwaukee area and was a former all-state pitcher in high school. Not a hard throwing guy, right around 80, but has great movement on all his pitches, and if his curveball is on he's extremely tough to hit. I'm guessing Augie And Everts had Husing on a tight pitch count, and assume they are very happy with his performance. Good luck tomorrow to the Redmen and the rest of the CCIW

CCIW now moves to 19-16-1 on the season... hope fully a few teams can get hot and really push the conference records further above .500.

Carthage vs UW-Oshkosh today should be a great DH.

REDMENFAN · March 15, 2006, 12:39:12 PM

Carthage will be starting Evosovich and Olson today, so hopefully both of them can perform well on 3 days rest after they both threw complete games Saturday. Starting on 3 days rest is no easy task the first week into the season. These two guys should be a great 1-2 combo all year though. No matter which one starts first, one will be throwing high 80's and can touch 90/91 with some good off speed stuff, and the other one is mid 80's with a lot of off speed pitches to keep hitters off balance. Evosovich also gets many hitters out with his splitty, a pitch that not a lot of D-3 guys throw. The best part is they both rarely walk hitters. Carthage's pitching has more than done its part thus far, and the hitting has done just enough to be 4-1. Hopefully the sticks wake up today and for the remainder of the season.

BigPoppa · March 15, 2006, 12:42:02 PM

Hopefully a few guys step up for Carthage today and swing it. I think the days of sitting back and score 12 runs a game are over for the Redmen.

Carthage up on Oshkosh 2-0 in the 3rd inning of game #1...

irish21 · March 15, 2006, 05:35:51 PM

Impressive! 7-1 after 5 innings.

BigPoppa · March 15, 2006, 05:46:37 PM

Carthage up 10-1 in the 7th... keep rolling Big Red!

REDMENFAN · March 15, 2006, 06:42:53 PM

Just talked to Jarvis Brown for a minute. Final was 10-1, evosovich pitched, that's all the details I have right now

REDMENFAN · March 15, 2006, 06:51:08 PM

I just read that the first game was delayed 55 minutes at the start because there was only 1 umpire!! Talk about messing with a pitcher's warm-up routine...Luckily Evosovich found a way to fight through it. He went all 7 innings, giving up 8 hits but only 1 run, with 6 K's and 1 walk. Tyler Yapp (Chris Sadjak's replacement at first base) tied a Carthage single game record with 3 doubles in one game.

REDMENFAN · March 15, 2006, 08:45:20 PM

Wow, don't know what happened. Carthage was up 4-1 in the 7th in a 7 inning game, and now its 4-4 in the 10th. Hopefully Carthage can find a way to pull this one out after blowing a lead in the last inning
