BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[BigPoppa]

Central scenarios: regardless of who wins Pool A bids in SLIAC and CCIW, I have them ranked:
* denotes Pool A bid

If BV and Carthage win:
1. BV
2. Carthage
3. North Central
4. Webster*
5. SNC
6. North Park

If Wartburg and Carthage win:
1. Carthage
2. BV
3. North Central
4. Webster*
5. SNC
6. North Park

If BV and IWU win:
1. BV
2. North Central
3. Carthage
4. Webster*
5. SNC
6. North Park

If Wartburg and IWU:
1. BV
2. Webster*
3. North Central
4. Carthage
5. SNC
6. North Park

*** I have left off IWU and Wartburg as even if they win the Pool A bid, they do not warrant regional ranking in my eyes, but they would be in nonetheless.

Hmmmm Carthage vs. IWU in the championship....how strange

Agreed! Make it twelve straight seasons that one of those two walks away with the title.

Does anybody have any idea when the bids will come out today?

Very very late.Set your clock to MIDNIGHT plus or minus a few hours. Others
can give more exact times from prior years. I would be suprise if any earlier.

[Mr. Ypsi]

IWU wins game one, 7-4.

Second game is for all the marbles, especially for the Titans.  (The RedMen would seem to have a fairly decent shot at a Pool C.)

[Mr. Ypsi]

Second game underway - no score after one.

IWU is pitching Joe Sweeney; Carthage counters with Chris Krepline.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Titans lead, 2-0, after three.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Titans get a run in the top of the 8th; lead 4-2 in the middle of the 8th.

Sure hope this isn't deja vu from yesterday!

[Mr. Ypsi]

Joe Sweeney came through with a complete game, 7-hitter!  IWU wins 6-2.

Quite frankly, I thought they were pretty much dead after blowing the 6-2 lead yesterday - I'm ecstatic to be wrong!

Here's hoping Carthage can still get a C (and NCC as well).

[mr_b]

Titans win the second game 6-2 to win the tournment and the Pool A berth.  Sweeney turned in a complete game performance.

Who would have predicted that outcome -- taking two from Carthage on the final day of the tournament?

[jigsaw54]

Poppa what do you think are the chances for Carthage and NCC to get a C bid

Poppa what do you think are the chances for Carthage and NCC to get a C bid

North Central- yes
Carthage- no

[Titan Q]

I'm very proud of the Titans for the way they played today.  Huge kudos to senior Paul Kabbes and sophomore Joe Sweeney...

To have your back completely against the wall and get two complete games is really something.

Good luck to the Pool C hopefuls!

[Mr. Ypsi]

D3baseball.com is predicting that both NCC (12th pick) and Carthage (15th pick) will make the tourney - here's hoping they're right!

Keep your chin up, Big Poppa!
