that will be a good game

[TexasBB]

It looks like Chapman vs. UT-Tyler with a great potential pitching matchup in the first game Rauh vs. Sherman.  Sherman was lights out the first 3/4 of the year but was not as effective later. I believe it was a tired arm this year as he was coming off surgery and had not pitched in nearly 2 years. He was a D-I pitcher in the Soutwest Conference that lives in east Texas and grew up not far from Tyler. He came back home to pitch for the Patriots his senior year after surgery. He was absolutely dominating early on. UTT  has had a long layoff since they were eliminated in the opening round of the ASC tournament and that means Sherman got some needed rest. However, there is a question as to how effective he will be. Will it be the Sherman of the first part of the year that was nearly unhittable or the Sherman of the last few starts that lost to McMurry and was hit by Mississipi College? Should be interesting. It it is the Sherman of the the early season UTT could make some noise in this tournament as they have 3 stout starters. The queston mark for the Patriots has been their bullpen and their inconsistant offense.

Six teams headed to Abilene for NCAA III West Region Baseball Championships
http://www.mcmurrysports.com/news/2011/5/16/BSB_0516111821.aspx

[Ron Boerger]

Led by Rauh, three of the four Chapman starters have an ERA under 3.  Four relievers (35 APP, 53IP) have a combined ERA of 0.85.  The #5 reliever has an ERA of 3.38 in 21 IP. 

Whomever faces Chapman's #4 starter (5-3, 4.94) better take advantage of the rare opportunity to score some runs because they're going to be very, very hard to come by otherwise.   

[Ron Boerger]

Linfield's no slouch, either; their top starters go 1.92, 0.82 (!), 1.42, 1.30, 1.49 (tho some of the latter primarily pitch in relief).   Team BA of .316, too.

5 of the 6 teams in the tournament are ranked in the top 25. I wonder how the other regionals compare?

[TexasBB]

Answered my own question: No other region had more than 3. The West was 5 out of 6 for 84% the next best was the midwest with 3 out of 6 - 50%.

New England - 3 out of 8
New York  -     1 out of 8
Mid Atlantic  -   3 out of 8
Mideast    -      3 out of 7
Central    -       1 out of 6
South     -        2 out of 6
Midwest  -       3 out of 6
West      -        5 out of 6
