BB: CCIW: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Mr. Ypsi]

I'll join your fourth prediction, but take sweeps by the 'big 3'.

[knarocky22]

IWU 2 out of 3 over Elmhurst
Carthage 3 over Wheaton
Augie 2 out of 3 over NCC
NP 2 out of 3 over Millikin

IWU and Augie could both easily sweep, but IWU hasn't been playing great thus far (at least looking at their box scores) and NCC usually somehow figures out how to take one from Augie.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Last year IWU was a .500 team out of conference, 20-1 in conference.  While I am definitely not predicting 20 wins again, I'll stick with outrageous predictions until proven wrong!

NPU swept Millikin today, 13-4 and 5-4. Details to follow.

Yes, I was going to get to posting that link, but I was waylaid from returning to the computer.

NPU lost on Sunday, 5-2, giving the Vikings a two-wins-out-of-three weekend against the Big Blue.

Augie took two from NCC this weekend, and Illinois Wesleyan took two from Elmhurst. Both were only two-game series. As noted above, Carthage swept a doubleheader from Wheaton, with the third game of the series to be played on Monday at Wheaton.

I hope to see better umpiring throughout the rest of the CCIW season.  The umpires of the Carthage/Wheaton games were absolutely horrendous in every area.  Still well played games, but easily one of the worst crews I have ever seen.

I'm not sure where you found that score, but the final result was 11-6 in favor of Millikin.  It was a 5-4 game in the eighth when a Viking error helped the Big Blue score five times.

Augie/NCC on sunday was cancelled.

As I said, I wasn't near a computer on Sunday, so I called the campus center to see if the main desk there had the score. They told me that NPU had lost, 5-2. Dunno where they got that score, either.

You've gotta love the fact that pitching depth will be tested early in the CCIW.
