BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[mr_b]

NPU opened its 2009 season this morning with a 7-5 win at Spalding in Louisville, KY. It was the ninth game of the season for Spalding, although the Golden Eagles are now an undistinguished 1-8. No game details are available yet, but Mr. B should be online sometime soon to give us the 411.

The Vikings played Cincinnati Christian this afternoon on the Spalding field as well. No results or details available as of yet.

Bookmark Mr. B's website for North Park baseball. It's very thorough and well-constructed, and he always keeps it up-to-date.

We just rolled back into town after going 2-0 in Louisville.  I'll have a write-up on the website (thanks for the plug, Greg), but we won 7-5 over Spalding and 21-2 over Cincinnati Christian.  The doubleheader at Wilmington (OH) was canceled due to poor field conditions at the home field.

Yes, 1-8 is hardly distinguished, but Spalding has played some solid teams so far -- they finished 1-2 against Mississippi College (currently 6-3) and lost to Birmingham Southern (8-2), D2 Southern Indiana, and NAIA Campbelssville (7-2).

Augustana is currently 4-0 on their Spring Trip. They picked up a 9-0 victory yesterday against Cornell College. Pagano moves to 2-0 on the season. He had 7 strikeouts and 4 walks in 7 innings of work. Kevin Schuetz had 3 hits and Ramos and Izzo had 2 a piece. They play again tomorrow in a doubleheader against Maryville. I assume that Erickson will throw game one since they went back to Pagano already. It will be interesting to see if they will go to Kyle Murphy in game 2 since he is only on 3 days rest this early in the season.

As of this morning, the CCIW is 6-0. The next week two weeks will be the test for the CCIW as IWU and Carthage gear up for some heavy hitters on their schedules.

CCIW now 10-2 as Augustana moves to 6-0 with a doubleheader sweep of Maryville University. They won game 1 11-4 and game 2 by a score of 3-0. Sophomore Grant Loiselle and senior Kevin Dencker both throw complete games. Augustana takes on Northland tomorrow and #22 Thiel on Thursday.

Good match up between Millikin and Blackburn today. Look for Blackburn's Sr. Scott Ward to do some damage against the big blue and Millikin to come home with a CCIW loss.

Is Blackburn supposed to be good this year?  Not trying to be a smart aleck but if they are supposed to be somewhat decent, then there is no reason they shouldn't handle a weaker Millikin team.

Final from the Millikin website: Millikin 7, Blackburn 5.  No box score posted yet.

Augie is now 7-0 on the young season. They defeated Northland yesterday 8-2. The Vikings got a strong performance on the mound from Junior Kyle Murphy going 7 innings and striking out 10. In 2 hours the Vikes face off against #22 Thiel. This will be a good test to see where they really are at on a national level. Have to believe Erickson will be throwing this game. Tomorrow will end their Spring Trip with a double dip against Rose Hulman. I am going to assume that they will see Hulman's top 2 pitchers. Hopefully Pagano will be available to throw again tomorrow.

Go Vikes!

Vikings take one on the chin today by a score of 17-3 according to the Thiel website. No box score yet so details to follow later. They finish up their trip tomorrow at 9am against Rose Hulman. Hopefully they can come away 9-1, which is a pretty successful trip in my eyes.

Should be great weather here in Illinois tomorrow. Wesleyan opens up tomorrow with a doubleheader at DePauw. Will be interesting to see how they do over there. Lets hope they can get it in.

WOW! Augie took a beating today. Still, they are off to a great start and will be a team that is given a long look when the bids come out.

Meh ... not the best result, but it's not in-region either.
