2015 West Regional - Tyler, TX

[Westside]

Well I am watching the game, and La Verne is definitely the home team 

2-0 La Verne leads after 7 full.

^^^  I believe you, that's just odd though.  Usually the NCAA hand book is pretty clear on all of those things.

By the way, if anyone is in tyler watching the games, hope you have your umbrella handy.  I live in Fort Worth and it's raining like crazy here, and heading your way.  should be there in a few hours, if not sooner.  Good luck!

I knew ULV had no interest in what I said about them

The 4th place SCIAC team just won 2-0

From the handbook.. The West must not have been a seeded regional..

Determination oF home teams
For first-round games during regional competition when teams are seeded, the highest-seeded team shall be designated as the home team. If there are no seeds, the home team shall be determined by a coin flip.

Also of note from the handbook given the weather conditions.

If the regional representative cannot be determined on the field of play by Monday, May 19, one team will be selected by the committee.

So every Regional was seeded except the West?  That's really dumb, and funny.....who makes that decision?

More to the point it was the absence of a decision that created this situation...

Our good friends in the NCAA not doing their job again, surprise, surprise.

Linfield (Haddeland) v Trinity (Gray) about to start, and Trinity is the home team giving more credence to the NCAA not seeding.   Live video/stats:  http://portal.stretchinternet.com/uttyler/stats.htm?eventId=217248&streamType=stats

Congrats to LV.   
During CLU's closing 12-3 stretch, their only 3 losses were to LV. 
We know what their top starters and their freshman closer can do!

[Ron Boerger]

After two innings, Trinity up 4-0 on Linfield.     All the damage was done in the opening inning. 

[Westside]

Kudos to Trinity for those early runs but dang that was unfortunate for Haddeland. Neither team has hit a single ball hard.

Linfield's offense not quite like it was in the past few seasons

During CLU's closing 12-3 stretch... 

...in other words right after getting dumped twice in a row by WC

If the teams were not seeded, how were the match-ups decided?

Coin flip?  Random draw?  Number of vowels combined in pitcher's last names?

All games suspended until 10AM Thursday.  Gray has a no-no going thru 5, too bad the rains came.

Yes, I was watching some of the LIN/TU game, Gray looked very, very tough - really impressive.  BTW, PLU came from behind to defeat Emory 9 - 6.  I really enjoyed the South Region broadcast, the Piedmont pitching coach was doing the color commentary and he's great - quite insightful.  Garret Brown was absolutely nails for PLU in long relief.

[SoCalSoxFan]

PS: I am still shaking my head <rattle... rattle... rattle> that PLU got shipped to the South and has to face Emory, BMS, Rhodes, & Marietta. So this is the reward for being the top rated team in the West? Give me a break.

If the West region is as good as West-region-followers all claim it is, then PLU actually caught a break by being shipped out. Thinking otherwise is admitting the West isn't as strong from the outside as those on the inside feel it is.

Congratulations on PLU defeating Emory 9-6 after falling behind 3-0 and 5-3;  Good luck tomorrow.
