BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[CCIWFAN6]

According to the IWU website, the doubleheader between IWU and Depauw will in fact be played in St. Louis @ Wash U.  I think it will be interesting to see who starts this game for the Titans.  With AA Kulavic back healthy, I would assume he has to be the guy, but from what Dirty said, they have a deep pitching staff in which anyone could get the call.

Final from Ft. Myers: North Park 14, Southern Vermont 0

Mike Giovenco pitched a one-hitter over six innings as the Vikings scored eight runs in the bottom of the first to go 3-0 on the season.  North Park plays Carroll tomorrow morning.

Checked Depauw's website and it looks the Depauw swept the doubleheader today-no details on either team's site.   As what seems to be the trend the past several years, IWU is off to a slow start on opening day.

If I recall correctly, even in that magical 20-1 CCIW year, the Titans were barely over .500 non-conference.  Does IWU have sub-par indoor facilities for practice before the snow melts?

I'm not sure Mr. YPSI, but it is very interesting that they always seem to get off to such a slow start on their spring trip....I'm not sure what their off season regimen consists of or what the reasoning behind the slow starts are.

Well, fast finishes are the most important!

Carthage drops their opener 3-1 to #8 Heidelberg. The Redmen defense allowed three unearned run after a pair of errors by the shortstop and a dropped flyball. Gotta love it when your first day outside is your first game of the season. Hopefully, things tighten up quickly. The Redmen get Medaille today before facing #2 Wooster in a DH tomorrow.

I've got my money on Carthage being just fine after a little fresh air.

Carthage coach Augie Schmidt reached his 700th win last night in defeating Ohio Wesleyan.

Article on Carthage's two victories from the Kenosha News. No Augie quotes, but gives some of the statistical leaders from each game.

Who is Carthage throwing today against Wooster? I'd love to see Krepline on the bump, but I am sure they will bring him back slowly.

[REDMENFAN]

Not sure who is on the mound today.  In their preview it says that Rohe is out until April or May, he was most likely going to be their #2 this season after being their 4 as a freshman last year.  That would be great if Chris Krepline was ready to go. I know he made the trip, but not sure what is role is at this point.

Wheaton split their season opening double-header with Eastern Nazarene.

Wheaton won the first game 17-4, lost the second 8-4.

Anyone have a Carthage/Wooster update? I have conflicting start times... 2pm or 6pm? Either way, I am hearing no news on the game and livestats is not working as of right now.
