BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[mwunder]

Carthage opens their 2025 campaign at noon today vs Centre College in Kentucky, Augie Schmidt's 38th and final season. As usual, I'll be following every pitch as often as I can.

Last ride with The Chief. Let's Go, Boys!

Not sure if you saw this BP, but I definitely thought of you when your former teammate passed this onto me!  (Yes, I know it's outdated, but for old guys like me I just saw it for the first time last week!  )

This might be the most awesome thing I've seen

The CCIW's collective ERA right now is 6.35. That's not an indication of the strength of opposing non-conference hitters, either, because after one weekend of CCIW play the league's collective ERA through nine games is 6.29.

The league's overall ERA is up around eight-tenths of a run over last season, and the CCIW-only ERA is up about a run and a half.

Either the recruitment of position players has improved, or it's getting harder and harder to find good pitching for this league.
