.599 winning percentage? Maybe it's because he doesn't shy away from the tough competition.

mu improves to 27-11 with a 25-12 win over stevenson...3 of 4 would put the monarchs in great position

i just digested the mu/stevenson box scores a little more completely...trey such should be usasac potw this week after an 8 for 12, 3 hr 10 rbi weekend...wow!

Stevenson pitching is weak. But a great week for him hitting. Congrats!

the monarchs give up 11 runs in the last 2 innings and lose 13-8...willingham appeared to be cruising along pretty well through 7 taking a 7-2 lead into the 8th before the wheels fell off...he gave up 2 runs, then markley gave up 2 without getting an out, then white (who has been automatic this year) gave up 2 more in the inning - mu tied it at 8 in the 8th, then the defense let them down in the 9th, as pc rallied for 5 more runs on a couple of hits and at least 2 errors

tough loss...need a couple of wins on Saturday to get things right...

a 1-3 weekend (with 2 losses to york) has most likely ensured that the monarch players will be working the regional rather than playing in the regional...i thought if they could come back and salvage a split with york today they had a really good chance at 29-13, but 28-14 is probably one game short

In my opinion, the USA-South was down this year and if just one team advances to Reg'l then there is no way that this conference is one of the toughest in D3 for 2010.

I'm all for 3-game series for 2011 and hopefully it'll put an end to all of the moaning about weak schedules for certain teams.

So let's go back to 3-game series for 2011!

Word on the street is NCWC will have a legit pitching coach next year. Hoooyaah! Thank God! It only took 2 years to find one.

WHAT!!!!!! WHERE was this when i was there.... hahaha but thats awesome seems to show that the hitting coach helped or either the pitcher was down this year... MR. C who is the guy that is going to do it.

NCWC 4,
rumor is Aaron Aikin, former number 1 pick of the Florida Marlins. He has been the pitching coach for Mount Olive past 6 years.

vabaseball · May 13, 2010, 06:40:42 AM

Wow! Hope that pans out for the Bishops.

LTBB1971 · May 14, 2010, 07:05:48 AM

Too early to get excited...just a rumor, don't know for sure...

NCWC 4 · May 14, 2010, 09:02:17 AM

That sounds great but ?..... WHy would a guy leave Mount Olive and Higher division school that contends for a National Championship and is ranked in the top 10 every year for a smaller school... where he will prolly get payed less.. i mean if i can remember we just got our lacrosse progam back because we didnt have enough money... and we have to take buses instead of charters to games.... how they going to afford a full time pitching coach.... i hope the guy is a professor or something.... not knocking my school down by no means... but you look at both programs and where their at right now and where there going... you tell me who you would pick....... plus lancaster will be done coaching sooner then long will..... who takes over M Olive .... he sure looks like a good pick...... when Long is done... whos the first person you think of to take over.... JONES...... not a new pitching coach...... im not saying but im just saying

I've met him several times when Mt. Olive was recruiting my son. As I said we just met with him some so he may be a fine fellow and great pitching coach, but I find it hard to believe he would move down to a DIII school unless he has humbled some. We'll see, if he does come, he'll have a bunch of good young sophomore arms to develop and hopefully a good freshman class along with some good upper class men and two senior proven high quality starters.
