BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

He still looks the same, huh? We had a tough series that year... we had to Face OW-Oshkosh and Jarrod Washburn in the opener and then beat Eastern Connecticut and Marrietts before losing to Methodist. Hers is the link to the game:

here is the box for the mc/uw-oshkosh game...the monarchs got to washburn for 2 er in 2 ip, but ford threw a cg in that one...he had a silly series that year and probably would have been the mvp had the monarchs pulled off the w against laverne in the finals

i saw that you had a 3 rbi day in carthage's first elimination game...nice

Capts go down big at Shenandoah, 17-5 in eight innings in game one. SU was up again in the fifth. Not a great start to spring break for CNU.

monarchs win 2 @ ncwc today - brandt got the w vs. rice in game one giving up 6 hits, 2 er and striking out 7 - denning got hit in game 2. but the monarchs got the w for him, 6-5...looking for the 3 game sweep on sunday...that'd be nice

looks like keever got the best of coop today - box score

[cnufan]

2 of the 3 top pitchers in the USA South got roughed up today. Moreland got tagged for 10 runs, 4 earned in a 17-5 loss, but the Capts bounced back to win game two, 4-2.

monarchs complete the 3 game sweep of ncwc with a 9-3 win - cornelius with 4 rbi's and frosh kenny kelly goes 6 1/3 giving up 2 er - that was a MUCH NEEDED sweep for the monarchs, and puts them in a first-place tie with fc after 2 weekends

game story
box score

the monarchs will dip into the odac this week, playing lynchburg on tuesday and b'water on thursday...the top 4 starters all pitched for the monarchs this weekend with varnell working in relief on saturday and sunday - it'll be interesting to see who gets the pill this week...i'd guess johnny wholestaff will be going in both games

Hats off to Keever and G'boro - much improved team - their first baseman is the biggest D3 player I've seen (how about you guys?) He's a man! I liked their lefty in game 3 as well as Keever. Not really sold on Justice, he's fast, but I just don't know. How about B. Thomas' walk tsunami in game 3. What better way to break a slump than to put one in orbit! I'm concerned about the Panthers left side defense - Coop needs guys to field it and throw it to first!
Just when it looked like Methodist was down and CNU was up......... MC gets a SWEEP and K.Mooreland gocked rocked - go figure.
Check this absurd rule out - Ferrum players can't be in their rooms during Spring Break so they pack up this past Friday for a HOME series, find somewhere to stay, play a series, leave Tuesday for Norfolk and then go to NCW next weekend. I'm not sure I could plan that far ahead NOW- I surely couldn't have done it in college! Please don't tell me everywhere else has that insane policy!

[Coop4POY]

What's this "karma" thing all about?

[narch]

coop - you never gave us your biggest offensive threat...i'm dying to hear who you think it is?

Hey, Coop4POY... where are you tonight... it's funny how you stopped chirping after Coop got lit up for 12 hits this weekend. 12 hits does not sound like a POY to me... did he just have an off night or is he over rated?

[Coop4POY]

Poppa, can you read? I posted twice before you posted "tonight". What in the world would I sound off about when my vote gives up 12 hits? I will say they were 12 hits over 9 innings - most 12 hit performances get yanked in about the 4th. Like I said in my earlier post (that you didn't read, i'm assuming) hats off to Gboro. They hit Coop a little bit - but he still threw it well enough to win. If Ferrum catches a groundball and throws it to first we're not having this conversation.

[Coop4POY]

Narch - I'm going to say Jenkins from SU based off of what I read. Based off last year I'm going to say Corbin from CNU. Based off what I've seen this year I'm going to say Thomas from FC.

monarchs take one on the chin losing 9-5 to lynchburg @ lynchburg
