BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[hasanova]

Although NCWC has won 13 of last 15 games, they face two extremely tough games Tuesday and Wednesday vs Division 2, Barton College (20-13) and Division 2 Mount Olive (20-16).  Should be a good test vs a higher division opponent.  I am expecting LHP J. Diener and LHP M. Knowles to throw those games.

They are playing Barton at Fleming Stadium,  I loved playing at that place.  I wish they still played the Conference tournament their.  Little fact about Fleming is that is the stadium in Bull Durham where Crash Davis made the Rain Delay. 

The Bulls were there.  Now they're not.  Their bus left when it "rained".  Easy.

Wow CNU is ranked 18, SU 24, and Methodist is receiving votes.  Pretty good representation for the USAS.

Yes, it is.

So looking at this SU is 1-3 against Elite teams and 22-1 against everyone else.  Not saying SU is not a good team but looking at that way they are not as good as they appear to be.

I'm really looking forward to seeing SU up close and personal on Friday (weather permitting).

Why?


All I'm saying is thank the ncaa we have a playoff system in college baseball.

[A.G.]

I'm interested in seeing how legit they are.  Obviously they have some serious offense going for them and I want to see how they look in the big ballpark at LC.

[NCWC]

I hope you guys destroy them.

[Catfishncwc]

I hope you guys destroy them.

that is pretty harsh, what did SU ever do to you.  I am actually rooting for them to have a good team but I am not a believer yet they have a legit team.

USA South is a very tightly bunched pack this year, and while I hope  my Captains get 'er done, there is a group of  squads that could win the tournament, and Shenandoah is surely in  that group. As is true most years, the team that wins its first couple games and has the pitching to put quality arms out there in games 3,4, and 5 will have the upper hand.  It's hard to count anyone out at this point, except the scoreboard dudes that will need to be replacing light bulbs if the tournament starts having these 21-20, 20-19, games

Shenandoah wins another close one, 5 to 4 over a very respectable Washington & Lee University squad in Lexington this afternoon.

The win moves SU to (23-4) on the year.

I hope you guys destroy them.

as a fan of a team which handed su half of their losses on the season, i'm hoping they win every game until the conference tournament

[vabaseball]

W&L outhit Shenandoah 12-8, issued fewer walks (2 vs. 4), etc.  Yet Shenandoah stringed together just enough hits in one late inning to get the runs they needed. Tenacious and lucky.  Good combination for success.

[NCWC]

I'm sure you would want them to win every game, because it would help out Methodist in their bid for an at-large.  I on the other do not appreciate the Virginia Tech like schedule SU plays. I never liked the drive all the way up to Winchester, or the 8 degree weather we were forced to play a double header in (snow storm).  Destroy isn't bad, that's what you say in little league.  You should hear my feelings on Methodist, CNU, and Ferrum.

(1). Don't be slamming my Hokies ("Virginia Tech-like schedule")-with their baseball troubles in recent years, they SHOULD schedule nuns and priests, if only to get the hang of winning.
(2).  No sympathy for the drive to Winchester; my school of choice is CNU, we make it to almost every game, and 3 hour drives are the norm. We do enjoy the NCWC trip as we've befriended some of the NCWC parents, and the games are always fierce.
(3). Yes early season is cold up here.  But we have frozen at almost every conference site at some point or another...
(4).  I like Shenandoah, if only because they're 18 miles from my home, so once every two years, we get a sweet short trip, and it allows family and friends to see the Captains play, without the three hour drive.
