Winner of next game will be looking good !

UTT has redeemed itself after a horrible first game. They started this one much the same way but rallied when it mattered. Beating Chapman is huge but having to face once again its Division and Conference rival in an ellimination game tomorrow is disappointing. UTT and MC have played each other 11 times in 2 years with UTT holding a slim 6-5 advantage. The last time they played was for the ASC tournament title and it went extra innings. Talk about evenly matched!!

Okay friends.

Who do we want to lose in the Pomona-Pitzer/Linfield game?

Okay friends.

I think you want Linfield to lose. They have the most depth on the mound, and they were my favorite to win the regional. After Colvin, PP is not terribly strong on the mound and I think you'd have a better chance of beating them twice if it came to that.

Linfield's #3 = Reese McCulley 3-2, 3.45 ERA, .257 against
               #4 = Casey Cameron 2-0, 2.49 ERA, .164 against (maybe?)

Or maybe it's Hilberg (3-1, 5.56 ERA), Robert Vaughn (1-1, 3.14 ERA)

PP's        #3 = Leo Rosetti 6-3, 4.62, .290 against
               #4 = Rooke-Ley 5-0, 4.78, .304 against

Or maybe it's Gano (1-0, 4.44 ERA)

And they're up 6-2 after a 3 HR from James Kang & a solo shot from Eirc Munzer.

I feel like there could not be a better time for my first post on these illustrious boards, as Pomona-Pitzer has come out firing in the nightcap against Linfield. Kang, or Kang Kong as the broadcast team prefer to call him, and Munzer are responsible for all six runs of the Sagehens, having hit two home runs a piece. Linfield seems to be battling and I am sure that this game will be fun until the end, but the way Pomona-Pitzer has come out the last two games, they seem like a driven and hungry team that is going to be tough to beat.

Thanks Pat and Ralph, it's good to be on here supporting my Hens.  Pomona alum, you are right.  Last year PP dropped the second game to George Fox, and two years before they were also unable to win both of their first two.  I think we're looking at a different team this year though.  Look for the gritty senior James Brunswick on the mound.  I've seen him throw some gems this year, and I expect the same today. 

Great call on Brunswick, it seems.  Really good performance in a huge game...pitching into the 9th with a 6 run lead.  Given up some runners, but limited the damage, which is key in games like this.

Congratulations to the PPs.

Don't let the pressure get to you now that you're in the driver's seat.

6-run lead?  Just throw strikes and let the defense take care of you.

Man....props to Pomona Pitzer tonight.  They have some live bats in the line up and Brunswick was great as the game moved along.  Those 4 HR's were no doubters to say the least.

'Cats have a huge mountain to climb but they have shown they are pretty dang good with their backs against the wall.  Go 'Cats!

BTW...for all the bitching and crying about the weather it was a great day for baseball today.

I am out to  dinner. Thanks for the updates.

Come on D.O.C., don't disrespect your momma like that when she's taking you out to dinner! Get off the boards!

[D O.C.]

Ah, she's 91. 
She's seen it all.
Besides, I was showing her how to input text.

glad to see a lot of fun going on in the west regional, PP hens are doing well, you all have to remember this is the third time the seniors have been to a regional, you better believe they are hungry, nom nom nom

Well today is the day the weather finally might have it's say...pretty crappy right now but we're still 5 hours away from Chapman/Linfield so there is a chance to catch a break but I have a feeling it's going to be hit or miss all day long.

It'll be a beautiful day for baseball for elimination. 49 and raining at game time for Chapman/Linfield.

Do you talk baseball or just complain about weather?  Just sayin' because your last 9 posts have been about the weather.
