BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[mwunder]

With two series remaining, it looks like the single-season CCIW record book is going to be re-written this season.

Runs Scored -- already broken (Jasper, Augie)
HITS -- already broken (Fifer and Jasper, Augie-TIE)
2b -- already broken (Mollo, IWU)
SB -- Coonan of IWU has an outside shot
RBI -- Swiderski needs 3 to tie


Innings Pitched -- already broken (Davis, Auige and Merger, NPU)
Ks -- obliterated (Davis, Augie)

There is no way all those records are already broken.  You must be looking at stats for all games and comparing them to conference only records. 

[mwunder]

I stand corrected...Conference Overall stats is misleading.  There was a second link on the CCIW site.

[Mr. Ypsi]

This weekend is HUGE for the conference tourney. 

Tied for fourth, both 8-7, Augie has one game at Wheaton, then Wheaton a DH in Moline.
Tied for second, both at 10-5, Carthage plays 3 games in Bloomington.
  (I felt much more confident when IWU was undefeated at home; then Augie beat 'em 18-3 on Monday. )
Tied for sixth, NPU (5-10) has a DH in Naperville, then NCC (1st place, 11-4) plays one in Chi-town.
  (With the POSSIBLE exception of Gregory, I will be the Viking's #1 fan this weekend! )
And in the 'Irrelevance Bowl', (5-10) Millikin plays three games at (3-12) Elmhurst.

BTW, re: an earlier discussion about Carthage doing 3 home, 3 away in alternate years against Augie, IWU, and Millikin, it appears that Millikin does that against EVERYONE except IWU.

[Mr. Ypsi]

BTW, I've also mapped out the schedule for the final week, when NCC plays 2/3 at Carthage and IWU plays 2/3 at Wheaton, but I figured I'd let the dust settle from this weekend before worrying about that!

But THIS weekend - GO NPU!!

Friday night action in the CCIW:

IWU (11-5) 11, Carthage 1 (10-6) -- a seven-inning affair
Wheaton (9-7) 3, Augustana (8-8) 2 -- on a throwing error while trying to catch a runner stealing 3rd in the bottom of the 9th

North Central vs. North Park rescheduled to a DH in Naperville on Sunday and a single game in Chicago on Monday at 6 PM.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Carthage outhit IWU 11-9, and lost the game 11-1!  That can happen when you hit 2 batters, walk 7, have 6 wild pitches, and the team commits 2 errors.   The Titan's Matt Hart went the distance - although he yielded 11 hits, only one was for extra bases and he spread them out nicely (and walked zero).

In Wheaton, Augie fell 3-2.  So for the moment it is #1 NCC, #2 IWU, #3 Carthage, #4 Wheaton, #5 Augie.

[mr_b]

It may be a slow day for the CCIW due to the prediction of bad weather all day Saturday.  Augie-Wheaton has already rescheduled its twin bill for Monday, and Elmhurst-Millikin may try to squeeze in one game today and two tomorrow.  North Park and North Central will play two on Sunday and one on Monday.  No announcement yet from Bloomington about the IWU-Carthage doubleheader, so maybe the rain is going to be north of the area.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Still nothing on the IWU site, but the CCIW site lists the games in B'town as 'postponed' (no make-up date listed, but I'd assume tomorrow if the weather allows).

Check the Carthage site instead.  It announced the postponement till Sunday at noon.

[Mr. Ypsi]

An entire Saturday with NO CCIW baseball - what a waste!  Mother Nature can be very cruel.

I didn't check other locations, but Bloomington's forecast is sunny and mid- to upper-50s at game time tomorrow.  Let's get it on!

[BigPoppa]

Carthage needs to sweep IWU today in order to stay in the race. Post-season life is on the line for the Redmen today.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Anyone know what's going on in Bloomington?  The game should have started nearly an hour ago, but livestats has nothing.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Nevermind.  Carthage said a noon start, but apparently it started at one.  Munyon got 'em 1,2,3 in the top of the first, with 2 Ks.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Carthage and IWU still scoreless going to the bottom of the fourth.  I'm outa here for a couple of hours.  I hope to hear other reports when I get back.
