Webster does have a history of pulling major upsets in the NCAA regionals and they seem to be underseeded (should be at least the #5 seed in my opinion). I think this Webster-CNU game may be a little more interesting that many people think. I guess we'll find out in about 30 minutes!

Wow Webster has 177 stolen bases on the year...that's mind boggling...

I'll give their coach credit...eith he just pitched his ace because or he knew CNU struggless against LH pitching. Either way right now CNU no match!!!!!!!!

cnu getting no-hit through 4.1...can't say i saw that coming!

He went with their ace or at least their best pitcher statistical...1.98 era 68.1 innings 77k's and opponent's batting .195 thats pretty impressive

Definitely couldn't have predicted this.......although I did say earlier that we might be surprised.

The Webster kid must have some pretty nasty stuff...~~no hit/PG'd thru 6 (if the live stats are correct)...~~WOW
As soon as I say something, the ever so elusive first hit has been found. haha

So much for the early exit from Webster...CNU may be 2 and done if they don't get the bats rolling. Didn't expect this

Haha, I was thinking that as I was typing it...but I knew CNU was far too outta it at that point to come back...What's a hit when it's 7-0 in the 7th?? haha
"and the show goes on..." Maybe without the #1 after tmw

It is almost a "smite-able" offense to talk about a no-hitter on the message boards!

Let this be your only warning!

Haha, I know...Although I dislike CNU...maybe I just didn't wanna see a fellow USAS team get shown up toooo bad on the national stage...thats why I did it

haha...see I was looking out for the ole Capt's!!

+1 for making me laugh this afternoon

Webster sure didn't look like a 6 seed today...note to other teams you better keep websters runners off base or it could be a long day.

Hound Dog · May 18, 2011, 04:05:22 PM

Like I said before, Webster has a history of NCAA Regional upsets. They have been there 4 of the past 5 years and have knocked off the higher seed in their opener every time.

Everyone has an off day, CNU just picked the wrong time to have it. I'm going to blame the extremely long layoff between games (ask the Buckeyes how that works out in Bowl Games). Either way, CNU lost and is now facing elimination the rest of the way through. However, it can happen, as John Hopkins a few years back is a prime example.

That's a helluva off day, losing 11-1. I'd blame it on a combination of a little rust from the layoff, poor mental preparation to face a "perceived" inferior #6 seed, and a ballsy pitching performance from a Webster freshman.
