I am not sure where wooster is playing for spring break.  But I have heard from an assistant coach from the HCAC that went to Manchester with me that the spartans have a tough spring break schedule.  They will be playing Wooster, Ott, and Wis- Stevens Pointe.  But I am not sure if that is a fact, but if it is with those teams there some good games may come from it.

It looks like you received good information... Wooster is listed as an opponent on Wisconsin - Steves Pointe's 2007 schedule.  The location is Port Charlotte... so it must be the Russ Matt tournament there.

A lot of schools are starting to post the spring trip games on their web sites...

Bob -

You're correct, it appears that Wooster is playing in that Russ Matt Tournament in Port Charlotte.  The Rowan University baseball schedule lists Wooster as an opponent on March 14th.

Is Otterbein going to be the real deal? I guess I am not a believer in them yet. Who do they play down south this year?

Otterbein has ther complete team back and last year nearly made the Championship round.  I expect god things to come the Cardinal's way.  The rest of the  prenial contenders have big shoes to fill which leads me (and others) to think Otterbein is the "real deal"

Jim- Sounds like you know them well. I will trust you on that one.

Here is the 2007 College of Wooster Baseball Schedule.  They have, indeed, moved to Port Charlotte from Ft. Myers, for their Florida trip.  This year, they'll play their Allegheny league games in Florida instead of those against Oberlin as they've done for at least the last two years. 

Only 7 home dates for a total of 10 games.  A 3-game home series against Wabash, the first time I can remember Wooster hosting them.  A road game against D1 Kent State.  The NCAC tournament at Denision (lights added to their field last season) instead of Wittenberg.

I believe Wabash officially kicked off the spring season with the first practice of the year today.  We're hovering around 10°F here in central Indiana today...couldn't ask for a better day to kick off baseball season.   ::)

BTW, Wabash will repeat their "cactus league" opening trip this year at the Greater Phoenix Invitational down in AZ.  Wabash's first game is against Wartburg on 3/4.

OVER RATED!!!!! OVER RATED!!! OVER RATED!!!


Big Poppa- I have a feeling that they are ranked a bit high. Certainly a top 30 team, but not #1.

We will know in a few weeks when everyone kicks off, huh? I always find it hard to bet against Marrietta in that region.

Otterbein and Marietta are OAC teams, right?  If not, our conference just got a whole lot more difficult.   ;D

It would be nice to have that info available, oh, maybe on the website.

In the absence of Wabash baseball I'll have to settle for Div-I games this weekend, despite the cold (for Texas) weather.

You can keep up with all of the diamond news on the Wabash Baseball Blog - "On Deck Circle"
Coach Stevens has done a great job at keeping fans, parents, alumni and recruits informed about what's going on this off-season and into the pre-season.

I am not sure how long the roster has been out on the Wooster Website. 
Here are some notes, just at first glance:

- Wooster has really been hitting Pittsburgh area hard.  Three kids out of Steeler country coming to COW were all-Section by the Post-Gazette voted by area coaches:

P/IF Matt Barnes City League
IF Justin Thomas Class AA
1b Frankie Quirin Class AAAA

And I count 9 nine Freshman pitchers to add to the staff that lost 3 or 4 seniors.
I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
