Yea, I was wondering if I knew you.

i know who you are, but we don't know each other - glad to see you ended your college career on a solid note getting some decent starts last year...would've been nice to see you do it in the green and gold, but i'm sure things worked out for you

the monarchs took one on the chin today, losing 6-5 to endicott - a 3 run 8th for endicott sealed the monarchs fate - the monarchs got a solid start from frosh trey hill who gave up 1er and struck out 5, making his first collegiate start...the pen let the monarchs down, allowing a total of 5 runs in the 7th and 8th

tufts wednesday, and lawrence thursday...

box and game story

Slid over here from the basketball board to check things out...   and I find the usual suspects involved.

Greensboro's offense always seems to find it's groove versus Tufts...

It looks like GC did winning 18-5 tonight.

Torrey Lowe(Same football Lowe) hit a HR in the 8th.  Coming off the bench he is now tied with the team lead in HR's.

[Bostonian]

You guys always seem to catch us at the right time.... ...maybe next year we'll get a front of the rotation guy going against you instead of someone making his first start ever in college baseball.

su97...when su gets a baseball team, please join us....





what's that, the hornets DO have a team...oh, i forgot

you know i'm pulling your leg - the great thing about the usasac is that every team is capable of beating any team in the conference, including su

usasac/odac series to date

usasac 33-10, .767

not bad...still lots of games to be played...maybe 3 day weekends DID hurt the usasac in mid-week games

Yea I wish things could have worked out a little better in Fayetteville, but I did what was best for me. I have no hard feelings against the programs. I always hope to see them do well.

the monarchs get another nice pitching performance from frosh landon jordan, who goes 7 giving up 2 er, to win 3-2 vs. tufts today

the monarch improve to 16-7 with a 7-0 victory over lawrence today - bisplinghoff got the w in the box score, but i think it should have gone to vedrani since elliott only went 3 innings - 5 pitchers were used in total, including 3b seth kivett - lawrence issued 11 walks, but only gave up 6 hits

box score

If they planned to do that with the pitching (I assume they did), then giving the starter the win is legitimate. The second guy came in with a 6-0 lead...little easier.

i could be wrong, but i thought that a pitcher had to go 5 in a 9 inning game to earn a win, regardless of intent

the usasac daily report shows a monarch 2-1 win over cnu, but i can't confirm it on either the cnu or mu website...

it also shows a gc 9-5 win over au

edit: monarch victory confirmed...cg victory for kelly - the monarchs played small ball for both runs, forcing the captains defense to make plays that weren't made

game story and box score

the monarchs get out the broom today, and sweep the capts 4-1 - great pitching performance again from a monarch starter as toth goes 8 giving up just 1 er - monarch batters pound out 13 hits - there's a real log-jam at the top of the standings with 3 teams tied for 1st at 5-3 and the bishops nipping at their heels at 6-4

game story and box score

in non-baseball news, the monarch women's golf team shot a 293 led by a 67 from junior katie dick today to finish 2nd in a d1 tournament...they finished ahead of teams like winthrop, marshall, xavier, boston college and penn state (they were 20+ strokes ahead of bc and penn state)...it's amazing to me that a d3 program can compete with BIG TIME d1's the way they do...could anyone imagine any d3 baseball team beating any acc team soundly?

Since Methodist is the only D3 school with a PGA approved curriculum of Professional Golf Management, then it is not that incomprehensible.  The remarkable thing is the Methodist beat Penn State.

That Penn State golf team must be either bad or still stuck in the middle of winter.

Greensboro has bounced back with 2 wins over Averett this weekend. Good Job.

Unrelated news Greensboro Softball is really stuggling now.  About softball why is it that one game is so lopsided and another very even. I am not just talking about Greensboro.  It looks like every school has a pitcher that can beat any team in the conference. (Some may lose but the games are really close.)
