BB: Top Teams in West Region

[DickWhitman]

By tournaments, do you mean the tournaments in the regular season?

Yes. There are various tournaments or invitationals during the season in Florida, Arizona, and Texas. I was just wondering if there are any sites that list them or preview them.

[Ralph Turner]

Thanks. That is what I thought that you meant. I have never found such a site. I usually piece it together as to who is playing whom when I see schedules released by the SID's.

[Gray Fox]

Here is one tournament.   They also have other divisions and NAIA.

ETBU looking to make a statement early. It will be a good test to see how the 3 super regional teams do with some significant departures in the offseason.

[DickWhitman]

Wow! What is going on at ETBU? Redlands thumped them pretty good today. Now they have 3 against LV. Rough road trip for them. Gotta give them credit for scheduling tough games early

From the NPI numbers that we saw in men's and women's hoops, I think that the NPI will favorably help Region 10, especially the SCIAC teams, in getting Pool C bids. The SCIAC has had some impressive results against good teams that are likely to build quality NPI rankings back in each's own region.

I look forward to this year's Pool C allocations.

Region 10 teams in the latest d3baseball.com Top 25:

7. Trinity TX (12-1) 480 (was 17)
8. La Verne (12-1) 449 (was 10)
10. Pomona-Pitzer (10-4) 327 (was 14)
16. CMS (10-3) 225 (was 20)
22. ETBU (9-7) 97 (was 22)
23. Cal Lu (10-2) 91 (was rv)

RV: Redlands 13, McMurry 10, UT-Dallas (not sure why) 7

[Ralph Turner]

Trinity swept McMurry last weekend. That must make the Tiger loyalists very happy. The Tigers look very strong.

[DickWhitman]

With CMS thumping La Verne in two of their three games, they have to be in consideration for the top team in the region right now. CMS pitching held a great offense to 13 runs over the series and the CMS bats hit the La Verne pitching hard, 25 runs for the series.

[Ron Boerger]

Agreed, especially with Trinity taking a bizzare loss in the opener at sad-sack Dallas.

[Ralph Turner]

McMurry seems to have a weak bullpen. Their schedule is moderately favorable to finish 4th and make the tourney.
