Mr. Born received the Outstanding Student/Athlete award in CA and then matriculated at Stanford.  He later transferred to NPU.  I never saw him on the diamond.  He was the fastest WR I've ever seen in the CCIW (I admit I attend <50% of the home games).  He certainly hustled end to end on the hardwood faster than anyone when he played.  He was a pre-med major and I believe his father was a physician.

Huh?

i think you are thinking of greg siwek.
I am determined to be wise, but this was beyond me.

You are correct, Dennis.  No wonder I never saw him on the diamond!!

LOL.  Born was a St. Pat's guy, and no offense to him, but Stanford was definitely not in the cards (no pun intended)!

Congrats to Nick Soldano on winning his 3rd Pitcher of the Week Award this year, his second in a row. He has emerged as one of the more dominant starters in the CCIW, leading the league in strikeouts (86), complete games (5), and shut outs (3), and is now being recognized as one. North Park has a strong 1-2 punch on the mound in Kuligowski and Soldano, and it will be interesting to see how far these two can take them in the playoffs.

Actually, Wheaton's Drew Golz leads the CCIW in complete games with 8 on the year.

North Park's remaining game with North Central has been moved to next Sunday afternoon at 1 pm in Naperville. This is an interesting development. I can't remember any years past in which CCIW regular-season games have been played after the conference tournament was completed. Anyone else remember such a post-tourney game taking place before?

I'm wondering what the thinking is behind rescheduling this game. The Pool C selection takes place on Monday, the day after the game will be played. Is it to NPU's advantage to play this game if the Vikings don't win the tourney? Would it even make any difference, one way or the other? Is one team forcing the other to play this game, or is the league office forcing both of them to play it?

Seems like a good idea to have an option of whether to play another game. NPU would have an understanding of where it is in terms of selection at that time.

The NESCAC and MIAC play their finals on Sunday, so NPU would still have the committee's attention.

Makes sense to me. North Park will want as many wins as possible in-region if they falter in the tourney. If they win it, then I don't really see this game being played.

Does Nick Soldano deserve some recognition as a possible pitcher of the year candidate?

Potential CCIW Pitcher of the Year Candidates:

1.) Nick Soldano     NPU        (5-0, 2.33 ERA, 46.1 IP, 47 K, 12 BB)
2.) Eric Rohe         Carthage  (3-3, 1.86 ERA, 58 IP, 37 K, 7 BB)
3.) Mike Trotta      Augustana (4-1, 2.28 ERA, 43.1 IP, 22 K, 10 BB)
4.) Drew Golz        Wheaton  (4-2, 2.47 ERA, 54.2 IP, 23 K, 17 BB)
5.) Steve Kuligowski NPU      (5-1, 3.64 ERA, 42 IP, 27 K, 17 BB)
6.) Josiah Martin   Augustana (3-0, 4 SV, 1.69 ERA, 26.2 IP, 23 K, 3 BB)

Potential CCIW Player of the Year Candidates:

1.) Kevin Callahan      IWU  (.397 avg, 5 HR, 26 RBI, .731 slg, .510 obp)
2.) Trey Martin    Wheaton  (.308 avg, 4 HR, 19 RBI, .551 slg, .404 obp)
3.) Joe Turek          NCC    (.319 avg, 3 HR, 24 RBI, .542 slg, .438 obp)
4.) AJ Nathan          IWU    (.407 avg, 2 HR, 14 RBI, .556 slg, .495 obp)
5.) Tony Sanchez       NPU  (.326 avg, 3 HR, 20 RBI, .523 slg, .389 obp)       


**I think Callahan will be a unanimous selection for Player of the Year. He's 1st or 2nd in almost every category. Pitcher of the Year will be closer, but I think Soldano will take it, going undefeated in conference and leading it in K's as well.

Hmmm...
Highs in the upper 60's with a chance of rain...

That sounds like great weather for Texas...in February. :)   ;)
