BB: Top Teams in West Region

[Jack Parkman]

Yikes, what an awful way to drop a game to the #1 team in the land!

[dp643]

Its very simple. You cant give a team like Trinity extra outs. And you can't have 1st and 3rd and bases loaded less than two outs multiple times and not score. I am still happy with the performance. This team is better than this defensively. I am impressed with Trinity's arms.

Good game. UMHB really could have won this one. Got sloppy at the end.  Good game for UHMB and they should go away stronger because of it. TU better clean up their act.

[Ron Boerger]

Nine errors between the two teams - both coaches will have plenty of 'teaching opportunities' after this one.

[108 Stitches]

I agree Ron. Yikes.

Runners on both teams getting picked off 2B with no outs...that cannot happen. On the other hand, games like this can make teams hungrier and better going forward. Games like this can make teams tougher mentally in April and May.
What Griffith did with the bases loaded and one out in the 12th is huge for him, his team and how he forces his way into the planning of the coaching staff. Doesn't sound like anyone left anything on the field.

LeT drops a 5-1 decision at home to Mississippi College tonight.

Edit:  and lose 2-1 in walkoff fashion to MC on Saturday afternoon.

I interrupt your baseball coverage for all West Region D3 fans to cheer for the Whitman women's basketball team, currently playing for the National Championship....

[Ron Boerger]

There will be a new #1 team in the country as after an easy 8-2 win in game 1, Trinity gets the error/wild pitch bug again and loses 9-8 to Dallas in ten.    A HBP and fielding error led to four unearned runs in the fifth; only four of the Crusaders' nine runs were earned.   The winning run came after a walk, a wild pitch, a passed ball, and a steal of home.

What's up with these 7 inning games, especially on a Saturday?

[tigerfan_2001]

SCAC schedule has first game of a DH being a 7 inning game. They also have a run rule for all conference games.

Why? 

[tigerfan_2001]

Don't know. 7 inning games are stupid. Almost as much as double headers

The UHMB and second game today were very sloppy for Trinity. They have so much talent that the can usually overcome them but not tonight. Some poor pitching decisions also did not help their cause. It  it is good for them to play some tight games and work through their pen. Give Dallas credit for fighting back and not giving up and the same with Trinity, game ended with a great play by Dallas LF with runner at third. Both Dallas pitchers did a good job. The Dallas team is very well coached, they are young and will keep getting better, congrats to them on a nice win.

That Trinity loss is like two wins for TLU. Should be exciting when that series comes around if both teams hold up to expectations.
