This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.  "There are three types of baseball players: those who make things happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened."

Inside info...Kitchens is done for the season. Something wrong with a tendon in his bicep on his throwing arm.

If that be the case, then he worked his magic in the Panthers' minds for the UTT game.

That first game onslaught was like the Chapman that we have seen before.

Chapman might hold on for the trip to Wisconsin.  This should be a great game, going the full 11.

was at the game last night and both teams hit the ball very well... I don't really remember hitting the ball that hard 18 years ago but I guess when you use the "new technology" bats, you can hit just about anything hard... it was a very tightly contested game...even quite enjoyable with the exception of the 1B ump starring as your local language and sportsmanship officer - what a joke... he worked really hard to control the game on his own...

Other memorable highlites -
First batter of the day goes to CF wall, stretches it out to a triple... next up double down the like... next up, iden has 3b stolen EASILY, but OTT just hit a laser to left ceter... ball caught, Iden was 1/2 home at that point - double play...
Oh, and after the first hitter goes to the wall, either the CU coach or 3b ump wants the bat looked at - CORKED??? hey guys, these are metal bats - all are juiced...
There never was any big inning... but many chances for each team
Chapman pitcher was in love with the pickoff move... no matter if it was 1st, 2nd or 3rd....
Ott goes big fly and Hartman get dosed the next pitch - and no warnings....
Next time up Ott gets dosed on a curveball - and no warnings
1b Ump decides to throw a warning to the Champan 2b for chipping at the runner on 2nd, that was after he gave a warning to CLU bench for ragging - again 1b Ump trying to run the game
not to show my colors BUT - the chapman bench was riding Rowe quite hard, just as hard as CLU was riding the chapman pitcher- and the kid showed solid balls to ride thru it....felt Chapman should have gotten a "warning" as well but since they were on the 3B side, I guess it wasn't heard by Mr. Powertrip
CLU throws two runners out at the plate - one on a relay from LF-3b-C - and it wasn't like it was a shot to the wall...
Chapman 2nd pitcher could bring it - was fun to watch him vs Ott and Hartman...
Three Nicks - combined for the tieing 6th run in the 7th...
Chapman didn't have the "big hitter" like Ott or Hartman... but they did hit the ball well....
in the stands it was much fun... nice to see the CLU parents and faithful... nice to get to root for my alma mater in person afte 18 years... Love the passion of the college game - even from the stands... 
Note to self - when you are at a CU-CLU game, make sure to wear your graple shirt and stand right by the CU dugout and try and pick their signs - give me a break - whom ever you were dude who confronted me for standing there watching the game - my wife and kids really appreciate the fact that I waited for them to come back from the bathroom - or were they really my family??? maybe they were actors hired by CLU so I could in fact attempt to seal signs from the CU dugout....

Am really looking forward to todays game.... going to hopefully change hotels and get closer... staying in NewBerg and still is a bit of a drive away... and with the UFO crap, need to leave here by 10 to make sure we make the game by noon.... and to PP fans.... no, the family will not be with me for this game... thus, I will have to try other ways to lurk around YOUR dugout...

I have inside info as well...dont assume. You know what happens when you assume.

Won't matter either way, it'll be a slugfest. Even if Kitchen's over the pectoral injury, his innings will be limited. But if they get to the ninth, maybe he can close the door. Can't underestimate Coach T.

There are no live stats links available for any of the West Region games on the daily scoreboard.  Do they become available as the game time nears?

Let's wait to get an official word on Kitchens before we post anything on this board. I would hate to see his future affected by rumors if it is not true.
Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

PP in the midst of a 6-run third inning, now up on CLU 6-1.  Mandelblatt on the hill...

pomonaalum

Now 10-1 after a Hedman grand-slam.  Maybe think about pulling Mandelblatt if you think he may be able to help you tomorrow.


ppfan

Maybe in a few innings, but it's still to early. Their first priority is to make it to the next game tonight. We are off to a great start in this one!

pomonaalum

10-2, going to the bottom of the 7th.  At this point, you want Mandelblatt to go the distance to save your bullpen.

If the score holds, who goes tonight?  Church?  It'll be tough for sure, but a win tonight would put the Hens in great shape, playing a winner-take-all game tomorrow, maybe with Colvin on the hill. 

Ralph Turner

Final PP 16, CLU 4. Mandelblatt gets the win, pitching 8 innings,  Fogarty gets the side out in the 9th for the Sagehens.

CLU is eliminated.
