BB: Regional (Mid-East) Terre Haute '08, Adrian '09, Marietta '10, '11

[Dr. Acula]

Berg will face Adrian tonight after they beat W&J 9-7 in 10 innings this morning.

Marietta leads TMC 2-1 after 1. 

[ScotsFan]

Marietta upset by TMC 4-3 in 10.

Interestingly, Barnes gets the start for the Scots in Game one and Wooster trails after one, 1-0.

PS-B really?!?!?!?!? They combined to go 1-5 in games against this year's Mideast Regional teams.

Who would've thought a Freshman from a school like PS-B would be throwing this well against Wooster....not me.

PSB - 8

[ScotsFan]

Well, the Scots plate 3 in the bottom of the 9th and for the 3rd game in a row today, we're going extras!

[mideastfan2]

^^^^ great comeback!!  PSB helped them out with a huge error on a potential game ending DP ball up the middle, and a wierd play by the pitcher.

But that's what great teams do, take advantage of mistakes, and win games like this.  Wooster can't afford to fall into the losers bracket with the advantage that HEID already has in this 7-team screwed up bracket.

PSB scores 2 with 2-outs on a strange play...what was the CF thinking holding onto the ball after trapping it, and allowing a runner to score all the way from 1st???

Good question mideastfan?!   

If Wooster loses this game, they can look no further than the fact that they couldn't get out of innings.  I don't know how PSB's first run came across in the 1st, but since then, all 9 of PSB's runs have come across with 2 outs.     That is a killer!

[mideastfan2]

^^^ and all the leadoff runners to reach base each inning...most of which were walks.  those will kill ya.

aint over yet though!!  top of the order ready to get another crack at it!!!!

[mideastfan2]

Wooster had the runners on, but couldn't capitalize.

FINAL
PSB - 10
WOO - 8

this bracket is so messed up.   WOO will play MAR tomorrow, and if one of them wants to win the Regional they must win SIX games over the next 3 days.

I'd say the winner of the HEID/ADRIAN game is sitting pretty right now.

[ScotsFan]

^^^^ ^
You're right.  The walks by Wooster pitching killed the Scots as well!

I'd say the winner of the HEID/ADRIAN game is sitting pretty right now.

As Woo's play by play guy mentioned, if you would have told me at the start of today that Wooster and Marietta would be playing an elimination game tomorrow I probably would have asked what you were smoking.

Heide is in a GOLDEN position right now if they can find a way to beat a team playing their 2nd game of the day.  A win for Heide means they are just 2 wins from punching their tickets to Appleton.  Meanwhile, for Marietta and Wooster, a win for either of them tomorrow means they still need 5 more wins to get to Appleton in 3 days?!   

[mideastfan2]

let's recap...

Day one:
- THREE extra inning upsets.
- MAR and WOO are now in the loser's bracket
- Penn State-Behrend of all teams wins their 1st ever regional game
- FOG rolls into town late last night to suspend the HEID/ADRIAN game until this morning.

yeah, that about wraps it up...what a crazy Mideast Regional so far!!! lol

Oh yeah, and there is a ton of rain in the forecast for the next few days in Marietta....we may be in for a longgggg weekend!

PSB sure put Wooster in a hole to start the regional.  Wooster came out of the winner's bracket last year at the World Series and and still lost so maybe they can come out of the losers bracket at this year's regional and win.  The odds are obviously not in their favor.  

[Dr. Acula]

Berg comes back to beat Adrian 9-8.

Etta leads Woo 3-0 in the 7th.  Gasser has allowed only 2 hits so far.

[Dr. Acula]

Etta has opened up a 6-0 lead over Woo heading to the bottom of the 8th.  The Scots really need to get something going quickly.

[Dr. Acula]

6-0 Final.  Marietta moves on and Wooster is eliminated.  Unbelievable turn of events.
