I think Trinity came ready to play!

[HALLEBASEBALL]

Its showtime Yacko can and will pitch 2 1/3 innings in each game if needed. Lets hope he dosn't have to. Both pitchers were not  on ther best game But its playoff time and its all about wins. Laverne is well coached and is a very good team year after year.

Congratulations to the SCIAC co-champs. The next games will indeed the panthers time to shine.

Browneagle, I guess this goes to show you that LaVerne is for real. They played the Panthers tough in the regular season and as I expected they played them tough today. It was nerve racking for a while there but the best one two punch in DIII showed why they are the best. Kitchens didn't have his best stuff today and LaVerne showed why they are in the tournament.

That's what i've been trying to argue about the Leo's through out the entire season over on the SCIAC board. To bad that they got paired with the number 1 team in the nation, as i am sure they will now cause havoc in this tourney until they meet  up with the panthers yet again. 
btw, a little heat and humidity could never affect our school call boys, it was probabiliy the long plane ride getting there

Your right Eagle it's not the heat it's more like you said with the plane ride to Dallas and then the 4 1/2 hour bus ride into Abeline. That wll take it out of anybody . But now it's game time and this is when you have to dig deep and play the best ball you can. This is why your here and what you worked so hard for all year.

After five and one-half, Trinity 4, George Fox 0.   Bronson has allowed four hits, no walks, and struck out five so far.  Nick Bratney left after the third inning having given up four runs (three earned) and seven hits.  In three innings of relief, Brady Rhodes has held the Tigers to a single hit and struck out three.   

[Ron Boerger]

4-1 Trinity after seven.   Consecutive singles by Fobert and Winterstein scored Wyckoff, who walked to lead off the bottom half of the sixth.  Trinity turned a double play and Bronson struck out Brown to end the threat.  Meanwhile, Rhodes continues to dominate on the mound for GF, allowing only a two-out single in the top of the seventh.  Bronson got back on track, retiring the side in order in the bottom of the inning. 

[Ron Boerger]

Dylan Early hits a two-run shot to extend the Trinity lead to 6-1 after eight as Bronson again retires GF in order in the bottom of the inning.

[Ron Boerger]

Final - Trinity wins 8-1, scoring a couple of unearned runs in the top of the ninth.  Bronson once again retired the side in the bottom half, ending with his tenth strikeout.    Trinity got 14 hits to just six by George Fox.  They'll face the McMurry-CS East Bay winner in the nightcap tomorrow.

What time is Game #3 going to begin?

[chakote]

Final - Trinity wins 8-1, scoring a couple of unearned runs in the top of the ninth.  Bronson once again retired the side in the bottom half, ending with his tenth strikeout.    Trinity got 14 hits to just six by George Fox.  They'll face the McMurry-CS East Bay winner in the nightcap tomorrow.

Trinity's win was formidable, and what a pitching performance by Bronson!!! I think that tomorrow's games will be a little different with the traveling teams getting the rest they definitly need. McMurry should handle CSUEB which means if I am reading this right McMurry and Trinity will play tomorrow and that should be a great game to say the least.

[Ralph Turner]

Bottom of the second, after an infield single by Voorhees CSU-EB pitcher Veira strikes out the side.

CSU-EB 4-0.  (2 unearned runs in the first by CSU-EB)

[HALLEBASEBALL]

ARE THE THREE BEST TEAMS FROM CALIFORNIA?

It looks like you might have spoken too soon on this one.  McMurry is in jeopardy of being just gracious hosts unless they have an answer for Chapman tomorrow.  That is of course unless they have something up their sleeves tonight, being down by 11 at this point in the 4th inning.

ARE THE THREE BEST TEAMS FROM CALIFORNIA?

I think that's a relatively quick conclusion to jump to personally, but you're entitled to your opinion.

Let's be honest, most people knew that McMurry's team was vulnerable on the mound -- it's been the case the entire year. Did I expect Curry to be better on the bump? Obviously, yes, but in spite of how well they pitched during the conference tournament McMurry is a team that's is going to try and outslug you. That's the fiber of that team.

I still hate that UT Tyler didn't play up to par down the stretch in the tournament because while they didn't necessarily have the staff to make a -really- deep run they did have pitchers capable of matching up better throughout the course of the first couple of games.

That said, this McMurry team is one that's battled and overcome adversity all year. Let's see how they respond. It will be easy to fold up and go home, or they can run Johnston out there and fight. Unfortunatley they're running up against the #1 team in the nation so we'll see.

And the McM pitcher who beat Chapman in February is not likely to face the Chapman  pitcher whom they beat.

well you know Cat; stranger things have happened but down by 11 with half the game to go is quite a formidible task in itself. but I have nothing but high hopes for McMurry, I know that this is quite a monumental score to overcome. And that means if the score remains the same McMurry, the Host Team, will face elimination themselves if they can't win against the Panthers in tomorrows game. Should be a very interesting game to say the least.
