BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[SUball]

no magic left for mu...through 4, i thought the monarchs had a real shot at the upset...ultimately, the championship today will feature the two best teams in the conference/region...i just don't see su having enough pitching left to win 2 today...

It definately will be difficult for them especially having to throw scallion for 3 against you guys..I'm thinking they'll go with Mike Smith and go from there. MU with a good showing in the tournament just all the games caught up with them.  Narch with MU with 27 wins and 5 games left i believe how many do they have to win to lock up an at large bid..3 or 4?

Are they finishing today or does it go to tomorrow if Shenandoah wins the first?

Farbeit from me to pretend to know more about baseball than Austin, but I thought he went with the wrong guy after Britt, which was a bit of an inspired choice to start. Judge had a rough outing earlier in the week but he has been your #3 all year, I think he deserves that chance.

This is where not having Van Sickler or Claudio available because you waited to throw them really puts you up against it.

They are finishing today..if SU wins, the second game will start 30 mins after the first game.

So Shenandoah has to win 3 games in a day? Ouch.

Keaton Neeb is like a cat behind the dish, I just witnessed an amazing play on a wild pitch BUT he still threw out CNU's runner.

He's a stud and hands down the best catcher in the USA-South.

Thanks to VMI for telling him that he was not in their immediate plans that allowed him to transfer at mid-term last year.

SU lets one slip away again. Kudos to the CNU squad for fighting and pushing across the winning runs in the bottom of the 8th. Tough pill to swallow for the Hornets today.

[vabaseball]

Yeah buddy! CNU gets it done...

[hokieone]

Yabba Dabba do! Atta baby Captains!     So now  CNU and SU have played each other 4 times  this year, and probably more in the regional. 9 times in 2 years and counting...

Congratulations to the CNU Captains on the Conference Championship. With the championship, and 2 straight W's over SU, CNU may be looking at a potential jump into the #1 ranking.

[vabaseball]

three straight wins isn't it? Last of the 2 game series in the regular season and twice in the tournament. Way to go Captains and Coach Harvell!

[narch]

congrats to the capts...i'm hoping that su and cnu get put in different regions, but i'm not sure that's going to happen

[Boysofsummer21]

Well it was a very good tourney. Congrats CNU! CNU out hit, play and coach everyone. The tournament MVP should have gone to the CNU pitching staff. I have seen a lot of tournaments but can not recall one where the winning team only uses a total of 6 pitchers and the middle reliever and closer for CNU could have been used only in the final game but think the coaches wanted to get them some work during the week so they pitched in a grand total of 2 games. SU better get their pen in order before regionals or Scallion ( who is a stud) will not have an arm left. Fleishman for CNU is the real deal and with Verdillo as the setup that is tough test fro any team to face. Methodist needs to concentrate on running the table and developing some of their young talent during pressure situations. Good job by all and thanks for the great baseball.

[GallopingGhost80]

Got to hand it to CNU, they were the class of the tournament and deserve the #1 ranking.

[PNeal7]

D-Bat: Again with the Neeb thing? He may be a good defensive catcher, but he is not the best offensive catcher in the conference, as that goes to Such, and he doesn't have the best arm in the conference, as that goes to Lenda. He is a solid catcher, but "hands down the best in the USAS," he is not anywhere close to that. I heard he had a nice little fall/trip coming out of the dugout the other day.

Congrats again to the CNU Captains!!!
