Two days in a row...   

Crash is working on a post about how all post season games should be held in a Southern California and in a dome.  BTW, it's a BEAUTIFUL day in the Pacific Northwest.

In Empathy for West Regional teams, it's raining in SoCal today and more expected for tomorrow.
Of course, the rain here isn't as heavy as in Texas... more like off & on showers;  But we'll take it.

It doesn't look like they will get started soon. Check out the radar picture:

They may be done for today. If so; could they call the current game after 5 innings?

The central region has also been rained out (2 on, one out, bottom of the first in a scoreless game between Carthage and Greenville).  They'll resume tomorrow (hopefully!).

BTW, it was also a beautiful day in southeast Michigan - especially at Comerica Park where the Tigers destroyed the Twins, 13-1! ;D  My favorite player, Miguel Cabrera, broke out of a slump with a stat line of 5 3 3 5!

Baseball is done for today.  UTT website indicates the UTT-Linfield game resumes at 10am tomorrow.
This also means the Millsaps-Trinity game won't be starting sometime after 10pm tonight.
While it is possible the conference separation has reduced the rivalry, I am betting not.  Coach Page and Coach Scannell and their staffs know each other well, like each other a lot, and love to win.  That game could be fierce with wonderful pitching on one side and tenacious hitters on the other.

OK; I am confused. Tyler tournament website says all games have been moved to Friday. D3Baseball indicates Trinity/Millsaps will be played at 11pmEDT tonight. Accuweather indicated that it stopped raining at about 8:30CDT.

Does anyone know what the schedule is?

------------------------------------------------------------

Linfield and Trinity will restart on Friday at 10.  Game 5 & 6 will follow.  I'm not sure what they will do for games 7-10, but presumably they will extend into Sunday on those. 

Other options might be to play some games simultaneously on other fields.  Or possibly to play by KC rules, but that would be horrible. 

The Tyler weather forecast is showing at least some thunderstorms every day between Friday and Wednesday.

UTT vs Linfield game restarts tomorrow morning at 10:00AM then the LV vs Whitworth game and then the Trinity vs Millsaps. Then back on schedule. (hopefully). It may roll into Sunday but it will depend on weather. I have heard of no plans to play elsewhere and field is wet but holding up and we should be able to get the games in by Sunday if needed.

Not a good week for baseball in SoCal. Rain. Texas is fine. Loved watching the games in Abilene regional several years ago. Linfield was also great in 2009 with great weather.
This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.  "There are three types of baseball players: those who make things happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happened."

As far behind as they are now, you wonder why they don't start at 8AM.    Yeah, that's not ideal, but neither is playing games past midnight as would have been the case yesterday had they been able to get the games in, and now there are more games backed up.

or 8:30 or 9:00 to get these games moving. The problem is that the unstable air heats up in the afternoon and causes thunderstorms. the weather has been better in the mornings. Hopefully we can work through some games today.

Ron Boerger

Just like Wednesday, there's a big complex of storms that started out around Eagle Pass/Laredo overnight, have gotten to Central Texas during rush, and is headed that way - plus development on the NE side of the cluster which is already in the Tyler area.  I'll be surprised if they can do more than complete Linfield-UTT today.

As the storms continue, what's the likelihood that the games can't be finished in time and the Regional winner is picked by committee?

Ralph Turner

I think that we can get to the "single-eliminaton" championship game in Game 7.
I think that we will have enough good weather thru Sunday to finish Game 7

Final: Linfield 9 - 6 Texas-Tyler.

The host, #1 seed is the first team eliminated. Congrats on a great season.

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.

PLU continues to represent very well for West as they defeated Birmingham-Southern 7-2 yesterday.   BS now plays Rhodes in an elimination game while PLU awaits the winner.  PLU only undefeated team in South Region.
