BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[BigPoppa]

Interesting team stats:
North Park 10 HR
Carthage 10 HR
North Central 10 HR
Augie 6 HR
Wheaton's Trey Martin 11 HR

Maybe Trey Martin could qualify for the CCIW tourney fourth spot on his own:) Those numbers are pretty solid.

Benedictine is up 5-0 on North Central (who's coming off a nice win over #1 Chicago).

With rain in the forecast for the entire weekend, it will be interesting to see how that affects CCIW play. Would hate to see teams have to play into next week and then come back and play in the tournament a couple days later.

The Bennies are having a nice run against CCIW competition over the past seven days. Last week they defeated both Wheaton and Elmhurst.

The interesting thing is that Benedictine has also lost to North Park -- interesting because NPU lost to Chicago last week, while both Wheaton and Elmhurst have defeated the Maroons.

The chance of rain locally for this weekend seems to show around 30-40% for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. That means that it will likely be a wet but playable weekend for baseball.

Wow. Down 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth, with the bases loaded and one out, NCC hit into a double play and lost the game to Benedictine.

IWU took care of business and pounded Monmouth 13-3 in 8 innings tonight.  Sadly, nothing to hang their hat on - Monmouth just isn't very good.  No disrespect intended - just stating the facts.

I believe Kevin Callahan hit his 10th home run of the year.

Carthage outlasted CUW, 12-9, this evening up in Mequon.

For some reason, I have been dinged in my karma all week long. If I offended someone... sorry. The only possible reasons would be my criticism of Carthage's weekend series against Millikin As an alum of the Carthage program, I think my Redmen passion allows me to have that voice.

I guess there are some folks out there who just enjoy target practice.  Although you bleed Carthage red, I have always found your postings to be fair, insightful, and well-reasoned.  Keep up the good work!

Another thought: you post on other boards as well -- the Midwest ones, for example.  Maybe someone's feathers get ruffled more easily west of the Mississippi?

Most likely from my statement about the WEST being weaker than most years in 2012... which I think is true.

I guess I'm not on here frequently enough - I don't even know what that karma item means or how it's altered....

BigPoppa..
Don't sweat the Karma bit. I agreed with you that the west was down this year.
But here is a plus K to offset those that didn't have the courage to sign their name.

The Frontier League held there draft on Tuesday and I saw a couple names I recognized from CCIW play. Matt Soderlund from Carthage and Zach Deutscher from NPU both were selected.

BigPoppa,
Can I borrow a couple Karma points? I'm running in the wrong direction..

Don't feel bad they have gotten me too....  +K to you!!
