                Jenkins went out after 4 runs and one inning; the guys in the press box doing the Automated Scorebook had all kinds of errors-players in the lineup that graduated, pitching change not caught, etc.   To be fair, the Automated Scorebook is a horribly designed program-DOS based if you can believe that, and when pitching changes and substitutions aren't signaled by the umpires or coaches, sometimes changes get missed, BUT the press box view at CNU is great so those guys need to pay closer attention. 

          If you want to get rich, design a good Windows based, point and click score-keeping program-you'll be able to retire within 5 years. The Automated Scorebook is very unforgiving on errors-trying to correct a mistake is a nightmare.   Hopefully the coaches will go in and fix the scorebook for game 2. (Perhaps wipe out a few RMC runs while they're at it. ;D)

        Randolph Macon hit the blue blazes out of the ball; I guess the newest training technique is to keep your guys indoors as RMC has been out very little, but looked to be in mid-season form. Very impressive.   

         Tough weekend and a tough start for the Captains-lots of walks surrendered Friday, and it rained 2 run homers Sunday, but nothing hard work can't fix. Lots of season left.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Methodist jumped out early on Bridgewater in game one for an 8-3 win before the Eagles came from behind to win the second game 10-3.


The Monarchs (3-1) took the early lead with three runs in the first inning of game on RBIs from Brian Inghram, Shawn Lovette and Brian Halpin. Bridgewater (1-1) came back with an unearned run in the second, but Methodist added a run of their own in the bottom of the second after Tripp Lancaster drew the walk, stole second and scored on Brian Goodwin's single up the middle.

Bridgewater cut the lead to two with a run in the fifth, but Methodist responded again after Xavier Mayo doubled down the left field line, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Lancaster's sacrifice fly for the 5-2 lead. The Monarchs came back with two runs in the sixth on a RBI double from Trey Such and a RBI single from Tyler Younger to score Such. Both teams scored a run in the eighth, but Methodist prevailed with the 8-3 win.

Landon Jordan earned his second win on the mound in seven innings pitched allowing just one earned run. Kurt Kelly finished in relief striking out two in two innings.

Lancaster finished 2-for-2 at the plate while Goodwin went 2-for-4 and Younger was 3-for-5. Halpin had two RBIs in the game.

In the second game, Bridgewater scored an early run in the top of the first, but Methodist came back and took the lead in the bottom of the inning on a two-RBI double from Such. The Eagles tied the game in the second inning after a lead-off walk and two hits. Neither team could regain the lead in the third or fourth innings, but Bridgewater went ahead 4-2 in the fifth.

Inghram had a RBI single in the bottom of the fifth to move within one, but Bridgewater finished with a run in each of the sixth, seventh and eighth innings for tacking on three in the ninth to win 10-3.

Tre Britt took the loss on the mound going six innings with two strikeouts. Rusty White and John Markley entered in relief.

The Monarchs finished with five players each grabbing a hit. Such led with two RBI.

The Monarchs will host Lynchburg on Wednesday for a 4 p.m. start.

Greensboro, NC -- Michael Manfro (Fauquier, VA/Notre Dame Academy) was the winning pitcher and Murray Smith (Williston, SC/Williston-Elko High School) and Matt Irwin (Asburn, VA/Stone Bridge) had big days at the plate as Greensboro College defeated Lynchburg, 9-8, in the first game of a season opening DH on Sunday. The win was the first college victory for GC Head Coach Matt Aker. Lynchburg rallied to win the night cap, 15-4.


Irwin went 3-4 with a double and 3 RBI. Smith hit his first Pride home run and was 2-3 with 3 RBI. Michael Parker (Snow Camp, NC/Southern Alamance) also had 2 hits for GC. Manfro gave up 5 runs, struck 3 and walked 3. LC scored 7 runs in the sixth and one in the final inning.

In game two, the Hornets recorded 19 hits. Starter Trey Daniel took the defeat for The Pride. Logan Beasley (Liberty, NC/Eastern Randolph High School) went 2-3 to lead GC hitters.

No USAFan, let's follow guidelines.

Give us a few pertinent lines and post the hyperlink to drive the traffic to the site.

Part of that SID's job may be evaluated by how many hits his stories are bringing to the website.

Hokie One: Thanks for the clarification.  After trying to follow the first game via live stats, I wanted to quit my job, go to Newport News and volunteer to be the scorekeeper...

It's been a tough start for the Captains but the season is young.

I guess CNU has a little roster updating to tend to: the "Official" boxscore still charges Jenkins with 11 runs in 2.0 innings.  It also lists Zach Hutchinson and Eric Cole in the lineup, two former CNU players.

I guess it's a just a little too cold for baseball.

Sorry, will do.

Eric Cole WAS there, but seated in the stands as he graduated last spring.  :)    Hutchinson checked out about 1/3rd of the way through last season. The bad thing is you have some freshmen, excited to get in their first college game, and they see the box score...     I'm sure they'll get all of that fixed, but the software is truly a pain, yet it's pretty much used in every conference, every level, and every summer wooden bat league.

Hokie One: Is Ben Lenda playing? He's listed in the word doc roster (in the athletic communications link), but not on the 2010 posted roster.  I thought he made a solid contribution to the team last year.

vabaseball

Never mind.  The roster has been fixed to include Ben Lenda.  Should have checked before posting. Sorry.

Ben Lenda is playing, but got a nasty cut on his throwing arm in the bullpen this weekend that required stitches, and I think he'll be out a few games.

hopefully cnu can turn it around today with a rematch against rmc!!!

NCWC will have a tough weekend with 2 games against Cortland State and Emory.  Should be a good early test for the pitching to see how deep the staff is going to look.
