BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[ChiSoxMan]

With heavy rains expected again tonight and showers off and on tomorrow morning, I doubt that any games will get in tomorrow at all. Thursday looks like the earliest they'd be able to play.

If that is the case then many teams will be playing 5 games in four days.... except Wheaton which does not play on Sundays and would play 5 in three days.

Well, no one said life was fair. BTW, Thursday is supposed to be colder.

Augie loses game one of the double header in Bloomington by a score of 9-4. Looks like the 4 errors by Augie were costly as IWU only had 5 hits and put up a 6 spot in the 6th. The Vikings did manage 11 hits for the game but couldn't string them together. Game two is just under way.

[acvikings]

Augie wins game two by a score of 10-3. Freshman Kurt Schmidt goes 4 for 6 and Junior Dave Hoffman went 5 for 6. Augie gets 26 hits on the day compared to Wesleyan's 10. Errors killed Augie in the first one. Augie sits at 2-3 in conference and Wesleyan moves to 4-1. Too bad they couldn't have come out of there with a sweep today. Tough to take two at Wesleyan though.

I think it will be pretty interesting to see what Carthage will do with their pitching rotation if they end up playing today.  With the cancellation of yesterday's games, will they try to bring back Perez or Danly against a more potent Wheaton offense, or will they save them for the weekend series against IWU?  I have to believe Wheaton will throw whoever they feel is their ace, as they are struggling Millikin team.

[ChiSoxMan]

I can't see anybody in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin playing today. It's still raining over this area, the temps are dropping, and things are water-logged. Tomorrow's looking cloudy, cold, windy, and showery.

Wheaton 10-runs Carthage today 11-1.  Anybody know when the last time is that Wheaton 10-runned Carthage?

With Wheaton's less than stellar baseball history, unless Kolb, et. al., pulled it off last year, whenever it was it was a total fluke.

According to the Carthage archives, the only time that Wheaton has beaten Carthage by ten or more was in 1987, a 13-2 win at Kenosha on April 4th.  Carthage ended the '87 season at 17-17 and 8-8 in CCIW action.

Congratulations Coach Driggers!

I had no doubt that he could do it.

Carthage's pitching struggle continue...

[CCIWFAN6]

BigPoppa, not only does Carthage not have a 3, they might not have a 2 either. Playing an IWU offense that has struggled to a .266 team average so far this year, especially in fairly cold conditions in Kenosh this weekend, may be just what they need to turn it around.

Or perhaps just what IWU needs to turn it around, says the hopeful Titan fan!

Not too fast Mr. Ypsi, word around Bloomington is that IWU's best player, Brett Moore is out indefinitely with a dislocated shoulder. A giant blow to a team that appears to be quite thin if you look at their young infielders who have struggled with the bat. But that is why they play the games! Goodluck Titans. Hopefully Martel can pull a rabbit out of his cap.
