BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[PNeal7]

CNU loses to Adrian College 3-1. Greg Goldsmith with a very solid start, going 7 innings, 4 hits, 0 R, and 9 K's. Ryan Flesichmann surrendered 3 hits and 3 ER's in 2/3 IP. CNU had only 3 hits on the day, as Adrian starter Jason Fryman hurls a complete game.

NCWC loses 6-3 to Alma College in Myrtle Beach.  Couldn't understand why we started a JV pitcher with plenty of arms ready to go.  I think NCWC under estimated opponent and Fresh P Wilson felt behind in the count and starting walking guys.  By the time help was on the way team was already down 4-0 and did not recover.  Bats were asleep but bullpen work by SO P Beasley and FR P Machin continue to be impressive.

Looks like the NCWC football team beat the Averett football team.  Score of the game 20-13 NCWC.  At least in a game like that the bats get healthy as NCWC knocked out 18 hits today.  Lets hope the pitching gets healthy tomorrow.

Anyone have the link to the DIII NCAA handbook? And know what section talks to transfers?

Transfer rules are littered throughout, but the main section starts on Page 96.

Wow! What a weekend of baseball vs Averett.  We got a split but should have easily walked away with a sweep.  Saturday's game was a slugfest.  Seems like every time we got to Danville at least one game is a shootout.  Got 18 hits from offense as top 4 batters in lineup are absolutely on FIRE!  As for the pitching SR Shane Flynn was cruising for 4 innigns and then seemed to abandon the curve ball and go straight to the fastball which lead to a batting practice round for Averett.  On Sunday, our starter SR Kaleb Wessell just didn't have his good stuff and battled all day.  Key to the game was number 8 and 9 batters are giving NCWC nothing at the plate and on the field.  I know these boys are seniors but at 9-10 now, may  be time for a change.  Some tought games coming up this week.

mu gets two wins yesterday, to improve to 10-8...younger continues to swing a hot bat and thigpen is heating up...perhaps the monarchs can go on a little run before the weekend series with cnu, and carry some momentum into those games...

[LTBB1971]

NCWC beats PSU-Abington 6-4 to get back to .500 at 10-10.  SO Jackson Pleasant looked great at the mound tossing 6 innings 0 ER.  Pitching staff has been really good this year and young arms have really stepped up.  Hitters busted out 13 hits led by SR Andre Nichols 3 hits and JR Jake Alexander and JR C Tyler Clark 2 hits.

mu makes it 3 straight with a 5-0 win over ehc - rhett lee was very good tonight, going 8, giving up 2 hits and striking out 9  - he had a no-no into the 7th - thigpen gets another hr

SU sets a 18-run inning record and cruises to 32-8 win over Penn State-Abington

March 8, 2012

WINCHESTER, Va. - No. 23/RV Shenandoah University posted a season-high 29 hits in a 32-8 non-league baseball victory over Penn State - Abington Thursday afternoon.

Shenandoah (9-4) scored 18 runs in the third inning to break open a close game against the Lions (2-3).

Coach Kevin Anderson saw 23 men step to the plate in that fateful third with eight of the nine starters getting at least one hit and all nine scoring at least one run.

Five players, led Nick Beall, had two hits in the frame. Beall went 3 for 3 in the third while Joey Donofrio was 2 for 2 with a double, a home run and four RBI.

Donofrio, who played just the first five innings, finished 5 for 5 with five runs scored and seven RBI.

He opened the game with a solo HR to right before hitting a three-run shot to right center in the third.

The Hornets had five home runs in the contest and freshman Greg Beran missed a cycle by failing to get a triple.

Beran was one of eight players to have at least two hits and one of eight to have at least two RBI. The freshman, who started just his second game of the year, was 3 for 6 with five RBI.

Shenandoah used 26 players in the game including nine making either their first or second varsity appearance of the spring.

Mike Minch (1-0) earned the win with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.

Brian Camp (0-1) took the loss for PSU-A. He gave up 12 runs (11 earned) on 10 hits and four walks in 2 1/3.

SU is at future ODAC rival Randolph-Macon tomorrow for a 2 p.m. non-league contest.

well...on the "not quite as impressive as an 18 run inning" front, mu gets a 9-5 win over immaculata and improves to 12-8

what is most impressive is that such got his 33rd career hr, tying the mu career record...and with his 3rd sb on the season, he is now just 179 sb's away from the all-time sb record and he has tripled his career sb output - i wonder if trey has EVER had a hr and a sb in the same game

two big ones with the capts. this weekend...

32 Runs?  Really??  The real question is why SU had ANY starters playing in that game.  Games like that are the reason conference stats and ONLY conference stats should apply to conference recognition.  While the folks voting on regional and national recognition won't know that a starter went 5-5 with 7 RBI's against a pathetic foe, the conference coaches should. 

I know it's all baseball, but I really hate to see coaches let games like this happen.  1) Don't schedule games like this to begin with, and 2) Play the JV or subs.
