One might question, "How much was ever really in the tank"

No, they might not.  Keep your inidivdual slams to your myspace account, norfrank.

I wasn't quite sure how the comment was being framed, but if it's being directed to Viking Blue, I can tell you that he had quite a bit of gas in the tank during his four years on the mound.  He holds the career record for games pitched;  fourth in games started; is tied for 7th all-time in wins; third in innings pitched; and ninth in career strikeouts.  And as Casey Stengel once said, "You kin look it up" (on my website) if you need further evidence.

What a great website - and act of love - thanks for doing this.

Thanks for the kind words.  It took a lot of work to get it set up, but it's my small contribution to the legacy of North Park baseball.

People relax, Viking Blue is a great guy.  I was just having a little fun.

Carthage down 3-0 to Concordia after 2 innings.

Pucher is pitching for Carthage today, but he's had his share of walks and wild pitches early.

[mwunder]

6-4 after 5, Carthage on top.

[mwunder]

Carthage wins 9-7, but may have lost leading hitter Mike Petti to a broken forearm when he dove for a ball in right.

[RedmanFan35]

Anyone have any word on Petti ? Not a good time to have your MVP go down.

[Viking Blue]

North Park loses 3-0 to Chicago State today.

Carthage wins 9-7, but may have lost leading hitter Mike Petti to a broken forearm when he dove for a ball in right.

DAMMIT!!!! Hope it is a quick heal and he can be back for the regional. Time for Hodges to put the team on  his back and carry them to a CCIW title.

Any updates on Petti?

Any updates on Petti?

Was just about to post the same thing.

Any updates on Petti?

The game summary from yesterday has been updated.   Grammatically incorrect as it is, the news is not good for the Red Men.

"Carthage rightfielder Mike Petti (Sr., Mundelein, Ill.) was broke his arm diving for the ball and will miss the rest of the season Petti leads the Red Men with a .418 batting average."

OMG, IWU lost (at home! ) to Rockford today.

So much for a pool C - win or go home.

As of today they are still second in the Central Region...if the Elmhurst loses didn't push them off the Pool C charts, I don't think this will either....

Carthage up 19-0 on Lakeland as Carthage hits in the bottom of the 4th.  Every Carthage starter has at least 1 hit so far (7 starters have 2 or more) and at least 1 RBI.  

Of Carthage's 24 hits, 13 are for extra bases (11 2b, 1 3b, and 1 HR).  The HR came from Petti's replacement in RF, C D'Angelo.
