BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[BigPoppa]

Thankfully, Carthage is in a great spot as they nearly have things wrapped up and can actually afford to drop a game or two this week.

cciw.org has no results posted for today, and I don't feel like making the circuit of edu's.  Anyone got any results, or did everything get rained out again?

The North Park-Augie DH got washed out Sunday.  No word yet on make-up dates.

With all of the potential make-up games and the CCIW tourney just 10 days away, the CCIW could be a mess this week.

Augie vs. Carthage is cancelled for tonight, rescheduled for May 4 at 6 pm. They will travel to North Park tomorrow for a doubleheader starting at 6 pm. They play a single 9 with IWU on Friday and a doubleheader on Saturday. Sunday will be a make up with Monmouth college at home and Monday is the Carthage game. Could make for a very high scoring affair on Monday as I assume both Carthage and Augie will use 1,2,and 3 on Fri./Sat./Sun. in order for them to be prepared for the first games of the tourney in Kenosha. I'm sure it will be a very busy week for all teams in the CCIW. Should make for an interesting Tournament.

Carthage plays at NC today in a doubleheader, and a single tomorrow against them as well. I know today is in naperville, tomorrow probably will have to be as well with Carthage's field under water

I am thinking it is right as Carthage SID, Steve "The Pistol" Marovich, does not make mistakes.

You're right BP, my mistake. Its freezing here today. About 40 degrees and really windy

Perfect Carthage baseball weather.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Not sure if any make-up games were scheduled for yesterday, but cciw.org has no results posted.  No games scheduled, or only washed-out games?

Nothing yet posted for today, either - any results, or did Mother Nature win again?

Carthage Swept North Central 1-0 and 8-6

Carthage Swept North Central 1-0 and 8-6

... and Carthage has won 21 of it last 22 games.

North Park split the make-up DH with Augie, winning the first game 4-3 and dropping the second contest, 6-0.

How big could that tie turn out to be for North Central?  Augie is leaving the door wide open for North Park and/or North Central.  North Park may have just created a door for themselves into the conference tournament with the head to head tie-breaker with Augie.  Augie really needs to not get swept by Wesleyan and Carthage.  I didn't read the post on the website, but is there any chance that North Central might finish their suspended game (currently considered a tie) if the standings depend on its outcome?  And, when was the last time Augie didn't make a CCIW tourney?

[matblake]

And, when was the last time Augie didn't make a CCIW tourney?

Per CCIW.org 2004.  The teams that year were IWU, NCC, Carthage, and Elmhurst.  I was unaware the tournament started back in 1985.
