BB: Regionals (South) Danville '08, Salisbury '09, Methodist '10, Rhodes '11

The nice thing for Shenandoah and JHU in 2010 is that they were sent to different brackets, unlike the 2008 Regional in Danville where Salisbury, CNUn and JHU all met in a 6-team regional.

That link provided a trip down memory lane. I didn't follow JHU in their regional this year.  Did they mow down the competition?

It took the Blue Jays two games to beat Kean, but they won four games quite handily.

I would like to congratulate Kevin Brashears and Greg Van Sickler for making First Team All American tonight on d3baseball.com.  They have worked extremely hard over the last 2 seasons and now they have some impressive hardware to show for it.  The only other first team winner from school is Jeremy Schutt, so these two have put themselves in a category all over their own.    SU also had a big day with All Region rankings:  Anderson was named coach of the year, Van Sickler Player of the Year, with Brashears and Scallion rounding out the first team.   Van Dusseldorp was named 2nd team and Jesse Henry and Yocum on honorable mention.  Seems like the Hornets have some good karma right now as they are preparing to head northwest.  See you in Appleton guys.

I also wanted to say congrats to Justin Franklin of Ferrum on first team All American. 

Go Hornets!!

Congrats to all the south region  players who made all-american.  quite an accomplishment.  Was anyone else surprised the cac got no all Americans?

Will Wright didnt make it? He was the cac player of the year and made the all regional tournament team.  For the year he hit 471 with 82 hits, 18 2bs, 6 3bs, 6 hrs, 55 rbi,  747 slugging, and 8 sbs.

What about there being none of the three preseason all americans from Salisbury, kyle judson, mike celenza, andrew miller, making it? pretty disappointing for the cac, no all americans this year

for those who were in attendance at the south regional at methodist, i'd love to read your thoughts...there was much debate about the appropriateness of armstrong-shelley field prior to the tournament...i'd like to get an opinion from someone who doesn't look at the world through green and gold glasses (like myself)

[Stargell]

Great work by all the players honored by both the D3baseball and ABCA all american teams.  It was great to see such a variety of names.  Congrats, you did an awesome job of representing the caliber of baseball that the south region has been known for.

Hey Guys,
Its been awhile since I have posted. I was wondering about Indy Ball. My son played at the Division 3 level and was all region player 3 times and an all conference player as well. He had very good college stats.....averaging a .350-.380 BA every year with alot of RBIs and 4-5 Home Runs. I know its a tough answer since you prob havent seen him play but do you think he has a shot at playing Indy ball? Whats the level like at Indy ball....does an above average college D3 Player have a chance to excel there? He is been trying to contact teams via email but they seem to invite him to tryouts....are these tryouts worth it? Hope someone knows more than me!

Thanks
The FLY

What sites are being considered for South Reg'l host?

[ilikebaseball]

The NCAA has selected Rhodes College to host the South regional of the 2011 NCAA Division III Baseball Championship. The regional will be held at USA Stadium in Millington, Tenn.

This will be the first time Rhodes has hosted a regional for baseball. USA Stadium was the official training site for the United States Olympic baseball team from 1986-1996. More information on USA Stadium can be found at www.usabaseballstadium.org.

Message board for the 2011 South Regionals which will be hosted by Rhodes College.

It will be very interesting to see what the NCAA will do with the top two south region teams being 14+ hours away from Memphis.  Conventional wisdom is that CNU will make the trip as the USA South champion, with Shenandoah going somewhere else.  I know it's early and this is a real swag, but here's my guess of the teams so far - assuming a 6 team region - happy to be corrected by the more enlightened:

1) CNU
2) Piedmont
3) Rhodes (Would they ship Trinity TX to Memphis if there is a TX regional?)
4) Salisbury
5) Randolph-Macon
6) Methodist

i don't see rhodes getting a bid, let alone a #3 seed...and the monarchs are on the bubble without at least 2 more wins
