2015 West Regional - Tyler, TX

[Whatagame]

I agree Westside, advantage TU, teams are used to DH from conference play. After a big win, the players are hungry to get right back on the field. They'll get a bit of food and get out there, no biggie

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity trailed almost the entire game, but a five-run outburst in the bottom of the eighth elevates them to the championship round, 7-4 over La Verne.   Only three of Trinity's runs were earned as they benefited from three wild pitches, three walks, and two errors in that frame.

Anyone know if the Regional site is correct and there are 2 more games tonight?
LInfield vs Millsaps and that winner vs LaVerne?

[Westside]

There is no way they play two... right? That would mean they start a game after 1 AM...

[Ron Boerger]

I doubt it.   Trinity twitter feed says the first championship game is set for 4:30 tomorrow which would allow for the final loser's bracket game in the early afternoon.   Second, if necessary game would be Sunday.

Edit:  Trinity game writeup (http://trinitytigers.com/sports/bsb/2014-15/releases/150515_bb_wreg) says the same.

Trinity defeats Millsaps 5-3.

So we have:

#6 La Verne (2-0) vs. #5 Trinity (2-0)

#2 Linfield (1-1) vs. #3 Millsaps (1-1)

Thanks for the update with W-L. Glad no games in SoCal. Would have been rained out Th. I just DON'T like the combination of COLD, WIND, SIDEWAYS RAIN and playing it after get soaked in the dugout for over 1 hour of rain with no cover. But I am over it. That was 2010 and I have moved on. Why? 4 trips to Appleton in 5 years. Who else can say that on this board? Heck I have a small investment in the Wooden Nickel Sports bar in Appleton. Chapman will not be back anytime soon.

Is this the year TRINITY finally makes it out of TEXAS to Wisconsin?

[Westside]

I think it is... No team left has any pitching depth unless some unknown just throws the game of their life. But hey, it could happen.

Good one going on late right now. Linfield and Millsaps tied 2-2 in the 6th.

[Bmo]

Haddeland is lurking in the dugout, ready to throw 18+ scoreless on two days rest...

[Westside]

Linfield knocks out Millsaps, 6-2. Sr. Garrett Miller comes in in the 4th inning and doesn't allow a hit the rest of the way. That really saves the pitching for tomorrow.

Linfield vs. La Verne in the morning with Trinity facing the winner.

[Ralph Turner]

Millsaps was undone by 2 innings in the tourney.  I think that the Majors had 3 DP's to start the game.

A potential DP shuffle from the 2B to the SS that was not handled cleanly let Linfield break away from Millsaps in the ugly 6th inning

[sportsfan]

Could be Tigers year to break thru.  We shall see tomorrow. they have the arms   Gray Speer Rape Walker and Tindall damn good.  Turner is quality closer.   Bats doing job.  Need to fix base running blunders. 

[Ron Boerger]

Hopefully Trinity can get it done today (which will be difficult if Haddeland pitches; I fully expect Linfield to hold him for a potential championship rematch).   Tomorrow's weather looks abysmal.   

[Westside]

I imagine Linfield starts Justin Davis against La Verne; and if they happen to sneak past them, Haddeland will go against Trinity.
