... and now Rauh.

I can't speak for other regions of the country. But I suspect in Texas, you'd lose at least 6 of these 8 to a Junior College/Smaller Div 1 School. Kudos to Chapman for being able to go out and get these arms year in and year out.

Rauh this year broke the single season Chapmans strikeout record held by Wayde Kitchens. Rauh is 22-0 in 2 seasons.

In SoCal you have so many JC, D1, D2, NAIA and other D3 programs that Chapman competes against to get their players.

Reviving an old discussion...

I think that we must give credit to Coach T for his success in recruiting high quality pitching.  He has a track record of developing the pitching over the last decade.

(I have seen Klovstad, Drag, Yacko and Kitchens.)

Listening to the video; they said that he pop/lined a bunt to the 3rd baseman who made the throw to double up the runner.

ILVBB -
Where can I find the link to the video and/or audio you reference above?
Thanks!

Try this; they have had some difficulty the past 2-days. The feed has not started on time.

If Redlands beats Concordia will this be the 1st time the SCIAC wasn't the first conference eliminated from the West Regional in quite some time?  Or did the SCAC (Hendrix) duck out first one year recently?

I am not sure where you get that idea?

2010- Pomona 2-2
2009 Pomona 2-2
          Cal Lutheran 1-2
2008  La Verne 1-2
2007  Redlands went 0-2 which would be the 1st team eliminated.       
 

[Ralph Turner]

CTX is leading 12-6 and batting in the top of the 9th.

I didn't say the first team eliminated, I said the first conference eliminated. I'm piecing together from multiple schedules so if there's a good archive, please point me to it.

I *THINK* that the SCIAC has been eliminated first in 6 of the last 7 years ('04-'10).

In '08 George Fox went home first in the west regional (I think), but Linfield won their regional; therefore, the NWC outlasted the SCIAC. (Albeit, I don't know if that's a fair comparison since they weren't in the West. Presumable they would've performed relatively well).

In '09 I believe Hendrix went home first followed by Cal Lutheran, and then Pomona.

In '04 through '07 unless East Bay was the first team sent home one year, I think the SCIAC was first all 3 of those years as well.

I get what you are saying now, although I don't really think it is a valid argument since the SCIAC has only has 2 teams in a regional twice.  Either way, I get what you are saying.

It wasn't intended as an attack on the conference, merely fuel for a conversation. Provided that the SCIAC representatives performed better in the regionals would the committee be more inclined to give them two teams? TLU made a couple of deep runs in '05 & '06, and I believe both Tyler and Mississippi (though in a different region) have also made solid runs for the ASC. George Fox, Linfield and even Pac Lu have performed pretty well in the past for the NWC.

Don't mind me, I am just ready for the weekend!

[Ron Boerger]

CTX sends Redlands packing, 12-6.  Linfield and Trinity pair off in a half hour to see who will be next.

That's okay. For the rest of the West Region, Chapman will be in the SCIAC in 2014!

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity going with Bentz (3.89, 4-2, 4 starts in 10 app, 34.2 IP) as today's starter.  Gave up 2 runs in the first, 2-0 Linfield after one.   An error and a balk resulted in the second run.

Zach Brandon (1.42, 5-0, 5 starts in 9 app, 38.0 IP) on the mound for Linfield and in control early, but back-to-back two-out doubles by Francke and Iacovella make a 2-1 game in the bottom of the second.

[Ron Boerger]

Turning into a pitchers duel ... 2nd 1-2-3 for Linfield in top of 3rd, Trinity gets another two-out double, this time by Felix (yay!).  Pappas tried to repeat yesterday's heroics but his fly to deep left-center was caught on the warning track.  Still 2-1 after three, as I'm typing this Linfield goes down 1-2-3 again in the top of the fourth.    

[Ron Boerger]

Zach Brandon possibly running into a little trouble in the fourth ... after 8 straight balls (10 of 11 in the inning), Trinity has runners on 1st and 2nd with Iacovella and Early, the bottom of the order, coming to the plate.    Crepeaux (2.59, 1-2, 14 app, 31.1 IP) in for Linfield.   Iacovellia gets his second hit to tie the game at 2-all.  Still runners at 1st/2nd with one out for Early, who takes an 0-2 pitch to center to give the Tigers their first lead.  3-2, runners at 1st/2nd, one out for Kevin Jackson.  Jackson strikes out, Jonathan Hall strikes out as the top of the TU order continues to struggle.    Top five batters today:  1-10 (.100).  Bottom five:  4-6 (.667).
