BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[narch]

Tom knows everyone of our signs.  And just about everything we do before we do it.  He is a good coach.  We were also without Pecora.

your boys came back to win 4-1  today in a game that featured zero earned runs

Tom can control everything but the errors.

Mount Union Baseball Team Falls To Ferrum (VA)
The Raiders (1-2) fell by a score of 9-2 to Ferrum (7-4), in spring trip action on Monday, March 5 in Port Charlotte, FL.

Mount Union trailed 4-0 before scoring twice in the bottom of the sixth. However, Ferrum answered back with five runs over the next three innings to secure their seventh victory of the season.

Mike Reynolds (0-1) took the loss for Mount Union despite only allowing one earned run over five innings of work. He also recorded a career-high six strikeouts.

Cooper (1-2) picked up the win for Ferrum, tossing a complete game with nine strikeouts.

Offensively for the Purple and White, first baseman Cory Slaybaugh was 2-for-4 while rightfielder Grant Sevek and shortstop Josh Faltot each recorded an RBI.

Mount Union next plays Wittenberg on Tuesday, March 6 at noon (EST) in Port Charlotte

I'd like to know why someone pitches 6 2/3 innings giving up a couple runs and someone else throws 9 complete 0 runs, 8k's and gets the shaft for pitcher of the week

could be that his sid/coach didn't nominate him

"Baseball Pitcher of the Week
         Kurt Kelly, Methodist - The Wilmington, North Carolina sophomore appeared in one game last week, picking up a victory in the Monarchs', 7-3, win over USA South rival N.C. Wesleyan. Kelly earned the win by pitching six and two-third innings while giving up two earned runs on six hits with three walks and four strikeouts. Also nominated: Torrey Poholsky, Greensboro."

...but that's just a guess

Maybe the level of competition had something to do w.th it.  Big win in a big game in conference compared to a weaker opponent out of conference.  But I am guessing also.

day 1 methodist won
day 2 ncwc won

its not a big deal but it seems like it happens alot

[h-sc bball]

NCWC...I see your point...Just curious, could it be they vote after Saturday's game...maybe Sunday's game falls next week?

[narch]

i agree that pearson's performance was one of the best of the week last week, but ben pearson was not nominated by the ncwc athletic department for the pitcher of the week award - if memory serves me correctly, the nominations are due by monday afternoon and include sunday games, and i'm sure it's pretty clear around the conference what the policy is...i know the policy, and my only real connection is being a former roommate of a mu sid

in the usasac, you don't get an award that you're not nominated for...it's that simple

[NCWC]

You seem a little irritable narch, work not going so good?  Like I said, its not a big deal, I was just curious as to how the votes where sent in.  Excuse me for not knowing how the process works, if I had all the answers I wouldn't have asked. Coaches must have been pissed that they lost that first one.


Plus I think that whole nominated by your own school thing is B.S..  Anyway I think Ben and Mr. Kelly have a couple more left in their tank this season.

[Jim Dixon]

I think that the school should nominate a player.  If I was an SID I would choose my best player and pitcher and forward those along each week.

One thing to keep in mind is that once the national player of the week is started this season, the nominations will come from the conference players of the week.

[NCWC]

One would think that an AD would be all over good performances by players, trying to gain exposure for his programs, or care about all the sports the same. I'll call him right now.  This explains why I didnt get drafted...lol.  Narch, you guys have some good people behind your kids.
