I'm betting I'll chew through my fingernails in the top half of the 9th.

One down and Miller hits the batter sending the tying run to first...

No indication of bullpen activity.

Ground ball to 3rd. Wooster takes the sure out at first.

Two down and the tying run is at 2nd with Marietta's leadoff hitter up to bat!

Snyder comes through for Marietta with a 2 out base hit and we are now tied once again... $:-\$

Inning over as Cimino flies out to deep right.

Walk-off anyone???

countyroad · May 18, 2009, 02:14:35 PM

Go figure.

Hopefully we can keep it a tie game then get the "W" in the bottom of the 9th.

ScotsFan · May 18, 2009, 02:17:57 PM

Good start for Wooster in the bottom of the 9th!

Mike DeBord doubles to leadoff for the Scots!

Shane Swearingen flies out to center but the runner on 2nd tags to third.

Winning run 90 feet away with 1 down and Luke Sutton at the plate!

WILD PITCH! GAME OVER as the Scots pile on at home plate!!! 8)

Final:

Wooster - 4
Marietta - 3

What a ballgame today between these two national powers!

I'm talking histroically!!!

BTW, the last time Marietta was 'lucky' to get in, they won it all! They have a way to pick up their play once the post-season rolls around and their display in this regional furthers that point.

Congratulations to the Scots!

Now the senile Ken Nemeth has five days to learn that Central Time is one hour behind, not ahead of, Eastern Time.

No quotations around lucky are needed. A teams good play in the postseason does not justfiy their inclusion. A team either deserves to get in or not, regardless if they win it all, or lose in the first round.

I am not a proponent of saying "They won it all, so see, they should have been in!" Teams should not be selected based on how we think they will do. That is subjective, based on past years, and not fair to the other teams. Teams must be judged on their body of work for that particular season....nothing else.

All that being said.....I am glad Wooster won. A lot of heartbreaking regionals since their last victory.

You mean I don't have to set my alarm and get up REAL early?

D3 baseballnut,
Get a clue! You don't know about D3 baseball if you don't know Marietta's history. According to you RH was going to win this thing.

Congratulations to the Scots on the win and the Pios on a great tourney.

My vote for duel MVP's go to McDowell and Miller, although Karpen and Groezinger had strong showings offensively.

David Collinge · May 18, 2009, 02:41:28 PM

Then again, maybe he's right: for all I know, "West Konsin" might be in the Atlantic time zone.

I'm sorry old scot. But i think you're wrong.

The point of my comment is to refute your implication that Marietta proved they deserved to be in the 2005 tournament simply because they won the title. EIther they deserved to be in or not, winning the title didnt make their inclusion any more or less valid. So don't put parenthesis around "lucky" as if they proved everyone wrong that year. If they played mediocre during the season to make their selection close....so be it.
