I believe with the changes of the automatic bid going to the tourney win, they also changed that the tourney will be at the regular season champs' place. So...looks like it'll be up in Kenosha barring a collapse.

The winner of the CCIW regular season is allowed to play the tourney at a field of their choice. I cannot imagine a scenario where the winner would not want to host the games.

North Park shut out Rockford yesterday up in the Forest City, 11-0. Kevin Polka went the distance for NPU, recording a six-hit shutout. The offensive attack for the Vikings was led by Brady Josephson, who went 4-for-5 and logged three RBIs, and Pat Zarilla, who went 3-for-4. NPU raised its overall record to 12-21, while the Regents dropped to 14-19.

For a team that was a preseason top 30 team, Rockford sure has had a disappointing season. NPU has had a fantastic season that I think has far exceeded all expectations.

Here is a little info to digest while we wait for the CCIW games to begin again.

Since 2001 and including the partial 2006 season of CCIW games:

Carthage 89-30-1 .746
IWU 85-35 .708
Augie 74-46 .617
Elmhurst 71-59 .592
NCC 66-53-1 .563
Millikin 54-66 .450
Wheaton 29-91 .242
NPU 21-99 .175

What does this mean? Not much, but it helps me pass the time between games. I think it clearly shows that Carthage and IWU average at least two more CCIW wins per year than any other programs. This season has really hurt Elmhurst and NCC who have traditionally been two of the better teams.

Great article in the Kenosha News paper about Carthage's Scott Evosovich today. Here is the link http://www.kenoshanews.com/articles/index.php?articleNum=6037

Slight schedule change for IWU this weekend. Due to weather concerns, IWU hosting North Park in a doubleheader this evening at 5:30pm, then a single noon game tomorrow.

That makes for a very late night... thankfully neither has to travel tonight. If weather is a concern, they should start even earlier tomorrow(I assume that NPU is staying in town?).

TitanRailer · April 28, 2006, 04:10:58 PM

I also assume NP is staying in town. It is also alumni weekend for old IWU ballplayers so there should be an above average crowd there Saturday. Weather looks bad right now, cloudy and windy. Not sure if they will get two in this evening.

Same with Augie..they moved their DH up to today

mwunder · April 28, 2006, 08:45:09 PM

Carthage defeats Wheaton in 13 innings 7-5. Steve Rucks goes 4-7 and drives in 5. Price pitched 11 innings for Wheaton and got a no decision.

What happened to Chris Sadjak? He's hitting .438 since returning from injury and hasn't made an appearance in the last two games.
