BB: Regionals (West) 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011

Ron,
If Klimesh is healthy, it would surprise me if he does not start.
As long as I have known Coach Scannell and as many games as I have seen, my view is Coach is a huge believer in challenging his players and putting them in challenging situations so they get right back and prove something.
Unless a player quits in some way, Coach just doesn't quit on his players and he lets them know that in clear and direct language, as you probably know.
I think we see Klimesh tomorrow against Linfield unless today reflected an injury situation.
If history is a good educator about Coach Scannell and the way does things post-season, there could be be some line up surprise, though.

Kozole pinch hits for Riojas, lines into a double play.  Runner at first, two out.

Please, for the love of god tell me that they tried to bunt the runners over!!??  On the live-stats it says he lined out on an 0-1 count.  I just do not see one bit of logic if they didn't try and bunt him over.

Funny, I don't see a single thing wrong with this.

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.

Chapman just LOVES Abilene.  Good thing McM is going D2, the rest of us won't have to worry about regionals there much longer.

That had to be one terrible sequence of baseball. Don't get the bunt down, and get the runner doubled off? Jeez...don't deserve to win.

Chapman has incredible record at Abilene. Chapman has played so many games there over the past few seasons it is really like a second home for them.

Great Pitching, good defense and also getting 8 runs a games gets them one step closer to returning to Abilene. Different players every day are stepping up to get the big hits. Career Win Leader Sigman adds another one to his win record BUT still a long way to go.

They need a win on Friday and one more on Saturday...Very good teams still around will making extremely difficult. Will the get to play Linfield or Redlands for a 5th time. Will Trinity get to revenge their losses in prior years to Chapman...Will CTX be the suprise team in the West. Lots of great baseball left. I miss being there.

Piro and Sigman lead Chapman to 8-4 win over Redlands

ABILENE, Texas. – A three-run first inning triple by junior OF Charlie Piro and a complete game from P Jordan Sigman powered the Chapman University baseball team to an 8-4 come-from-behind win over the University of Redlands on Saturday evening at the NCAA Division III West Region Championships at Walt Driggers Field. With the win, Chapman (31-11) is the lone team left in the six-team West Region field without a loss. The Panthers face Redlands again or Concordia-Texas at 7 p.m. CST on Friday depending on who wins their game, which is at noon.
Sigman (8-2) got off to a rough start as Redlands (30-12) put a pair of runs on the board in the first inning. After allowing the first two batters of the inning to reach on a walk and a hit batter, Sigman gave up a sacrifice fly to junior IF Jon Cavender. Junior IF Ben Saunders then followed with an RBI single to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead.

The lead didn't last long as Redlands' starting pitcher Kyle Hart labored in the bottom of the first inning, giving up three walks, which set the stage for Piro, who came up with a three-run triple to right field to give Chapman a 3-2 lead. Piro finished 2-for-4.

The Panthers then added a run in the second on an RBI single by senior IF Tyler Hadzinsky and another in the third on a run-scoring double by sophomore IF Tyler Surnbrock to take a 5-2 lead.

In the top of the fourth inning, Redlands narrowed the lead to 5-4 after an RBI double from sophomore IF Jason Henning and a groundout by junior C Landon McMath that scored Henning. Sigman struggled at times giving up 11 hits, but Redlands left 13 runners on base, which proved to be costly. Sigman threw 133 pitches and is the second Chapman pitcher in as many games to pitch a complete game as sophomore P Brian Rauh went nine innings on Wednesday. Of the six West Region teams, Chapman has the lowest team ERA at 2.00.

Freshman IF Mark Saatzer gave Chapman some insurance in the sixth inning with a two-out, two-run double to right field, which pushed the lead to 7-4. Saatzer and Surnbrock each had two hits while Hadzinsky was 3-for-4.

It was actually a really nice play by the third baseman. It was a bunt that was a low liner, just too hard and the third baseman made a dive and catch right before it hits the ground. Tough situation for the runner he gets a good secondary and takes a step or two toward third. Kind of in no-man's land and then the 3B bounces throws a strike to second. It was a tough decision for the runner to try to go to third. Kid just made a great play on it.

Still a bad bunt. Little things mean so much this time of year.
