BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[Catfishncwc]

Thanks for posting the link re: Maine Presque Isle, Coach.  Did you mean to say that Franklin and Marshall will have a 20 win season and a couple guys drafted?  Or was that really SU you were referring to?  If it's F&M I am wondering who they are going to have the 20 wins against.

F&M every year hovers around the 20 win mark.  They have a solid program, nothing spectacular but solid program.

Another washed out game Sunday in Rocky Mount.  Will play Greensboro on a DH on Monday starting at Noon.  Should be Lucas and Moore going for NCWC...
Another tough week coming up with Montclair State on Tuesday, HSC Wednesday and DH vs Tufts on Thursday before heading to Fayetteville for Conference match vs Methodist U.

It amazes me at the apparent randomness the USAS makes up rained out games.  Some teams head out of town without playing on a Monday...and others schedule a DH on Monday to make up games.  Is there any rhyme or reason?  As of now...you guys may have an odd # of games deciding seeding once again.

salisbury v. york cancelled. its a straight wash up this way!

[coachmilburn]

Worse case scenario, nobody down south gets their games in, this could be at least 3-4 games missed of conference games of the 12 total conference games.  Will there be any attempt to make these games up during the week ?

If I recall, to be crowned #1 seed for USA-South Tourney, I think you have at least 10 conference played ?

And then a team might come to town, sit through rainouts on Sat., Sun. AND Monday (Ferrum at CNU).  That's the way it goes.  Not sure the #1 seed ended up providing a cakewalk through the tournament last year anyway.  Not like any team got a bye.

[NCWC]

I decided to check on the game time today for Wesleyan and it seems the games with GC are squashed or just vanished from the schedule.  Anybody with any knowledge of this situation out there?  And to think I was feelin kinda monday.



I found these stats on the USAS website:

games are postponed, it is suppose to rain all day in Rocky Mount.

I wonder what's going on in Danville.  CNU is supposed to play a DH there today starting at noon.  Haven't seen any postings about cancellation.

[narch]

according to the usasac site, all games are cancelled...

if that's the case, here is the official score
mother nature 2, usasac baseball weekends 1

[vabaseball]

Ah, didn't know about the composite schedule.  It actually does not have a cancellation by CNU/Averett.

All the others, yes.

[vabaseball]

Yep they played game one today in Danville and Averett beat CNU 5-4.

[A.G.]

Yep they played game one today in Danville and Averett beat CNU 5-4.

WOW!

[vabaseball]

WOW is right.  They even got through 6 innings of game two before the rain caused a halt.  CNU won that one 7-3 I think.  Well, no one can say that CNU didn't make a good faith effort to play games this year.  Sit around in Danville all weekend and then all day Monday when school is back in session.  That's enough to make the lesser students flunk out. 

Hats off to both teams.  But a real shame about the weather everywhere.  Danville just had a narrow window today with no downpours.

A tip of the hat to Ben Hildreth, who pitched a sweet game for Averett to win the first game, and to the Higgins kid for hitting his first collegiate homer, the walkoff in the bottom of the 9th. Hildreth is impressive, good command, didn't get rattled when things got a little down.  He's one of the better arms in USAS.    The home plate ump told me between games that it was a good pitch, a curve ball down, Higgins just got it all.  Jason Jenkins pitched well for CNU to win the second game in the fog, drizzle, and rain. A line drive up the middle almost decapitated him in the bottom of the 5th.  Not good baseball conditions by any stretch but they got two games in somehow.
