NCWC beats Shenandoah 4-2!  I'm speechless on how well max Knowles threw today...excellent!  The kid layed it on the line and we came up with a few hits including JR CF Daniel Moore's HR.  Still making way too many errors, add 3 more today...hopefully they can keep it together tomorrow.

NCWC completes sweep of Shenandoah today with a 11-7 victory. 

[Southern BB fan]

Tough day for Methodist. Britt had a rough day and hitters were cold all day. The number #2 starter for methodist could be a problem for them this year.

[cnuball25]

Nobody has "overlooked" Averett...but they're not exactly impressive either. They just beat up on a squad that has a team ERA around 9.00, and they've gone 11-2...with those 2 losses being against the only 2 teams they've played with a winning record (Lynchburg 3-2 and Guilford 5-4). They did the same thing a few years ago...they had like 20 or 30-some wins and didn't get even get a sniff at Regionals...that's what happens when you fill your schedule with the Penn State Fayette Roaring Lions of the world. The one thing they have going for them is probably confidence, but that's likely to change when (as we've discussed before) they face a team that throws overhand...

Shout out to my Captains for coming back today and splitting the Methodist series. Split on the road and take care of business at home, and you're looking at a good year fellas. I heard the defense played better today too which is definitely encouraging.

Speaking of taking care of business at home, how about NC Wesleyan? In my opinion (for what it's worth) they made the statement of the weekend. I've never been sold on Van Sickler as a pitcher so I thought that NCWC could pull that game off, but a sweep against one of the top teams in the best D-III conference in the nation? That's saying something...and that's another thing to watch for this year too. How will Shenandoah respond to be the "hunted" for the first time in, well, probably ever (although I have to admit my SU baseball history is a little shaky before 2005) as opposed to be being the "hunter". All-in-all seems like it was an exciting first weekend...

So yet again you still continue to bash Averett because of the teams they have played. In your previous posts you said they will be tested when the conference games start, but it looks like that still just isn't good enough for you. Last time I checked Manfro throws the ball overhand and does it pretty well, and they hit him around pretty good on Saturday. I am happy to see the Cougars off to a hot start after their previous struggles the past few seasons. It looks like they can be a contender with the strong teams of the USA South like Methodist, Shenandoah, and CNU, but it looks like CNU FAN25 will only give any team credit if the beat CNU.

Oh and I forgot to mention NC Wesleyan as another strong team in the USA South. They showed they are going to be a force to reckon with after their sweep of Shenandoah. Sorry Battling Bishops
