BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[randomguy]

ive seen it happen more than once, and that is more dangerous than wood, but not very common to see

[hasanova]

The Guilford Quakers got a rare 3-hit complete game from Corey Landis today at Ferrum to win 11-5.  Drew Gurkin, Kyle Wooden, Drew Ward and Terrance Penn all got 3 hits for GC ... Ward had a grand slam.  GC improves to 9-3 while FC drops to 6-4.  The Quakers are a surprising 4-0 this year versus the USASAC.

I saw it on the local sports ... first time I think I'd seen it with a metal bat.

mu wins 6-1 vs. vwc - they touched bulman for 3 runs on 3 hits in 1/3 of an inning...ouch - such and proctor are raking the ball right now - proctor hit hr #6 and is up to .455/6/15 on the season - he has 15 hits and 11 are for extra bases - such went 3-3 with 3 rbi...he's hitting .407 with a hr and 12 rbi in 9 games - bisp pitched very well, going 5 and giving up 5 hits and 0 er - partin, fasano and mahaffey each pitched an inning (the three frosh gave up a total 1 hit, 1 walk and 0 er's in their three combined innings) - the monarchs are now 7-3 - box score - nice win

I hope NCWC during this next 11 game homestand can go at least 8-3...need to get this ship going in the right direction...I expect to see Max Knowles in weekend rotation after his showing in the Rawlings tournament.  LHP Diener looked like he hurt his arm against Rhodes.  I hope he's well, we'll sure need the guy. 
I think we'll get better, really tough schedule this year...Pat Laffin, Justin Rahm and Zollie Woodlief are hitting lights out.  Hope everyone else gets on the same train.

I know a few of the kids on VWC. Good kids, play hard. Felt bad for Samuels getting the L.

Yeah looks like I will not toeing the mound this weekend.  What a shame I was hoping to get seen by a scout and signed to a big bonus.  Well I can always dream. 

[A.G.]

Hate to see the games were a wash.  It looked like some good match-ups down at NCWC...and I am sure the alumni game would have been lively.

Weather looks like it might wash out everyone's weekend.  LC will be down at NCWC on Tuesday.

Good win for Millsaps over Emory this afternoon.

[LTBB1971]

I understand Shenandoah got off the gate 10-1, but...the combined record of their opponents is 6-24-1...not very impressive...I wouldn't think is this is not top 25 worthy.  Got top play top opponents to be worthy of a top 25 ranking or even get some votes.  I wouldn't read too much into their start.  We'll see how good they are once they play Methodist, VA Wesleyan, CNU and Randolph Macon.

I know it wont happen, especially not anytime soon.  but the metal bats are getting better every year, and more and more handle shots are making it over the infielders and falling for hits.  The sweetspots are getting bigger.  It is just frustrating.

I'm not sure if you guys saw it, but a metal bat snapped in two in a UNC-CH game a week or so ago.  The barrel went flying through the infield just like you see broken wooden bats in the pros.  Scary!

Do you have a "youtube" of that?

Good win for Millsaps over Emory this afternoon.

Every win over Emory is a good win.
