BB: Pool B

[BigPoppa]

While I can see WashU not being in the regional ranking, I do not understand how Coe, who is third in the IIAC, is the top ranked IIAC team? To Me, other than Carthage at #1, the central is just a mess with the rankings right now.

Coe has the best OWP in the IIAC at .545 (for comparison Carthage is at .552). Luther's is below .500. BV and and Loras are .506 and .511, respectively.

While I'm here St. Norbert has a .548 OWP with some nice wins. Didn't think SNC would be so high, but I think you can justify it.

Bethany pulls off the upset on CSS in a game that had a little bit of everything...except good umpiring (from the way it sounded)  One has to put them in the pool B conversation again.  Gotta give it to the Vikings, never give up!

Live Stats from UMAC tourney:  http://www.csssaints.com/custompages/stats/base/xlive.htm

1pm St. Scholastica (1-1) vs Northwestern (1-1) (loser eliminated)
4pm Bethany Lutheran (2-0) vs St.Scholastica/Northwestern winner
7pm If necessary.

St. Scholastica has put themselves in a tough spot where they need to win three games today to win the UMAC. Bethany needs only to win one game to win the title. Does this spell trouble for St. Scholastica if they lose? Does this make Bethany Lutheran a Pool B team? I will be very interested to watch this play out today and see the results on Sunday night.

St. Scholastica up 10-2 in through 5 innings against Northwestern. Win this game only two more to go today.

St. Scholastica has to be in...right? There is no way they get left out with their record....not in pool B.

Do you think bethany lutheran has got a shot at a pool b if they win the tournament tonight?

Wait, Scholastica would have to play three games in one day? That doesn't seem fair at all.

If it happens, it would be CSS's third tripleheader. I think CSS swept three in one day from Crown and Northwestern earlier this year.

CSS beat BLC 14-9 in Game #7 of the tourney.

CSS beat BLC 14-9 in Game #7 of the tourney.

I think that sufficiently ends Bethany Lutheran's pool b bid run? at least that is the vibe around d3 baseball town.

I think Bethany had to win it to get a bid. In my opinion, they are done.
