Nice win for the Scots. Their forth and fifth runs were scored on wild pitches.

As far as not seeing McDowell pitch for the rest of the regional, don't count that out. Wooster is already short handed on pitching and Coach P has been known to run them out there if they say they go.

old scot

Fantastic50,
      You are correct.  Wooster will play the winner of the Etta-Adrian game and RH will play the loser of that game. Heidelberg will play CC in the losers bracket.

old scot

Is Coach Brewer rolling the dice in starting Stewart in the opener? He has the best ERA on the staff but, is fifth on the amount of innings pitched. Can someone enlighten me?

old scot

Well, I guess it doesn't matter about the pitching choice Coach Brewer made. Marietta is laying the wood to Adrian. 10-2 after five.

Looks like it's going to be Wooster vs. Marietta tomorrow evening in a battle of familiar Mideast Regional foes!

Hats off to Justin McDowell's pitching performance today!  Concordia averaged 9+ runs per game this season and he held them to one run in 8+ innings of work!  It would have been nice to see Justin not have to throw so many pitches, but, as old scot mentioned, don't be surprised to see Justin making another appearance before the regional is over whether it be as a starter or out of the pen. 

What was nice for Wooster today is that they didn't have to use up any other arms!  Miller only faced 2 batters so he will be ready to go tomorrow in whatever role is needed.  And Matt DeGrand didn't have to throw at all! 

All in all, this was pretty much a perfectly scripted start for the Scots!  Lets hope they can keep it rolling tomorrow against the always dangerous Pios!

Stewart can bounce back on shorter rest, if needed later in the tournament.  Knowlton on the other hand is pretty much done for the tournament once he give the team a long outing.....that was the reason that Brewer gave in his pre-game radio interview.

It all worked out, and tomorrow's Marietta vs Wooster game will be a great one!!!

***  oh yeah, sorry I wasn't around today guys, I have family in town and din't really get to listen or follow any of the games.  Same goes for the rest of the weekend :(  I'll be checking in though, so keep me updated!!!

Not a chance for Rose Hulman... Wait untill they get on the field against one of the Mid-East Powers A.K.A Wooster or Marietta... I was listening to the Adrian broadcast for a little bit yesterday and the anouncers were talking to the players about Marietta.. the Adrian kids were saying that Marietta is basically the Mount Union of baseball...  That was exactly what they said... They were beat before they took the field

d3baseballnut

they lost 15 times to somebody........

Marietta has a tough game with Wooster first.

Just like your prediction of Ott making the tournament???  ::)   I'm not saying RHIT doesn't have a shot.  I'm just saying there's still a ton of baseball left to be played before we start proclaiming who the winner is going to be...

And I also wouldn't go this far in saying that RHIT has no chance...

It's not like Heide is chopped liver.  They may not have the history of success that Marietta has, but in recent history, the Student Princes have very much been a force in the Mideast Regional.  You don't earn the #1 seed in the Mideast Regional back to back years for nothing.  You have to be playing some pretty damn good baseball to accomplish a feat like that.

All I'm saying is that you shouldn't diminish RHIT's thrashing of Heide yesterday because that was a very impressive win over a team I felt was a heavy favorite to win this regional...

It Sure seemed to get into Adrians mind.  And everyone Knows May is Marieetas Month, the last 3 Bids have been at larges and the last 2 they won.  They find a different gear when they get there..

Maybe it's the pin stripes?   ;)  Gonna be a good match up tonight with Wooster.  I hope the Scots prevail.

Berg takes care of Concordia 14-2.  Strong outing for Brian Koehl.

If Rose-Hulman beats the host school, then tomorrow's first contest will be an elimination game between Heidelberg and the Wooster-Marietta loser.  That would be quite a battle, either way.

ScotsFan

Weather's moving in again up in Michigan...  :-\

With the RHIT v. Adrian game not even started yet, they'll be lucky to even get that one completely in.  Maybe that's why they haven't started?

I'm guessing we will be waiting for tomorrow for Wooster v. Marietta. 

Damn rain!  >:(
