10-1 to end the Spring Break trip.

Admittedly though, the schedule is about to get MUCH harder.  After a series with Ohio Weslayan, the always tough UAA schedule begins.

Thanks!

Let's hope that they don't stumble during the UAA slate.

Ohio Weslayan has a losing record.  Ideally, CWRU will get a sweep...........after that, the UAA schedule will be telling.

DagarmanSpartan

CWRU up to #11 in the rankings following a four-game sweep of Brandeis.

Let's hope that the Spartans keep up the pace!

Emory goes 3-1 vs NYU, so Spartans don't have to share title with the Eagles.

We appear to have hit a rough patch.  I hope that it doesn't hurt our playoff chances.

There are still some chances to pick up some wins but I would not want to be 6th in the RR and watching to see what everyone else does.  I don't think Case can afford any more losses.

Case matches up well against John Carroll tomorrow since JCU will pitch their top two starters today against BW and Case can throw their Ace against their #3.  Next weekend against Chicago is a good matchup, but definitely one in which Case will need to play well.  If they can win their 4 remaining games and finish 29-10, their current strength of schedule ranking of 19 will most likely get them in.  They are also 7-6 versus the current regionally ranked opponents.  I am sure that Englander will right the ship for the end of the season and we will see the Spartans in the postseason.

The Unofficial Committee of Pool A Conferences (UCPAC) has appealed to the NCAA to give every WIAC and UAA conference member 2 automatic losses to make things equal when the tournament bid selection process begins...

Clearly that would be unfair, as someone would have made it through with 0 or 1 loss!  Of course, no one knows who that someone would be. ;)

It may take a Spartan three-game sweep of Chicago as well as Wooster taking two from Wabash, and possibly Otterbein two from BW for Spartans to feel comfortable about making the field

Well, we got the sweep of Chicago.

Let's hope that that's enough to get us in!

Really needed Wooster to win NCAC.

Shame too because Maue seemed to get his stroke back this weekend and Dan Watson finally seemed healthy

WashU won its home opener this afternoon, 13-3 over Illinois Tech.  The #4 Bears are 4-0 early in the season...first time for such a start since the 2006 season (in which WashU reached the NCAA Tournament and finished 34-7).

John Brinkman was 2-for-5 with a HR and 6 RBI.  Caleb Durbin was 3-for-4 with 3 RBI and 4 runs scored.  Sean Robinson was 2-for-3 with 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, and 2 SBs.  Matt Ashbaugh had a rough first 3 innings, but he tossed 3 scoreless innings after that and struck out 8.

WashU held a 5-3 lead after 3 innings, but Ashbaugh settled into a groove that Illinois Tech couldn't recover from.  Meanwhile, the Bears scored 8 runs in their final 5 innings...3 of which came on Brinkman's walk-off HR that put the 10-run rule in effect in the bottom of the 8th. 

Illinois Tech had its season opener today; and it was led by Michael Courtney's 1-for-2 day with a run scored and 2 SBs, and single RBIs from Zachary Dickey, Connor Blake, and Orlando Cardenas-Juan.  Ryan Cantlin was the starter on the mound and took the loss, giving up 7 runs in 5 IPs.

Both teams play in a doubleheader tomorrow (Sunday), at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
