I like Johnny U's prediction of:

Concordia(TX)   Pool   Team
1   A   Linfield
2   A   Cal Lutheran
3   A   Texas-Tyler
4   A   Trinity (Texas)
5   C   Coe
6   C   Pomona-Pitzer

GF did themselves in IMO loosing 3 to Linfield to end the season.

First really big game of the tournament will be T-T vs TU. Loser will be in trouble, with T-T in really big trouble with a slimmer pitching staff.

We will find out for sure on the 5,6 seeds shortly.

Didn't see PP AND TLU getting in. Also didn't see TU dropping to #5. I guess they didn't want the Texas or California teams playing each other in the first round.

Here is a link to the Concordia NCAA home page:

Everyone knows by now teams are:

West Regional at Tornado Field; Austin, Texas
1. Linfield
2. Cal Lutheran
3. Texas-Tyler
4. Pomona-Pitzer
5. Trinity (Texas)
6. Texas Lutheran

I guess swapping PP and TU prevents CLU playing PP. Certainly hurts CLU as a 2 seed.

For first round games I have:

1. Linfield should handle TLU.
2. TU upsets CLU.
3. TT should handle PP.

Trinity-CLU has to be the best first round matchup in the country right? ABCA's 3rd and 6th nationally ranked teams playing each other, Lucero against that ridiculous offense, SCIAC MVP Petersen on the mound and at the plate with his 5th highest BA in the country... should be fun to watch.

Whoever wins in the Cal Lu/Trinity game

Always feel like this is one of the most important numbers come tournament time

Linfield - .975  (#2 in nation)
Cal Lu - .964
UT Tyler - .978  (#1 in nation)
P-P - .947
TU - .959
TLU - .973  (#9 in nation)

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."

Im going out on a limb and predict the 2 ASC teams both go 0-2. I just didnt see enough out of the conference this year to think they will be competitive at all in this regional. Trinity I think will be fortunate to win one game. I dont like the Texas teams in this regional.

I am picking either Linfield or Cal Lutheran to move on to Appleton in 2013.

Some stats for the teams that are in the West Region and how they stack up Nationwide (from NCAA.com)
These are teams in the West Region that are ranked in the top 10 in the country by catagory.


Batting Average -   #1 Cal Lutheran

ERA                    -   # 4 Trinity; #7 Linfield

Interesting that our region has some of the best teams in each of these catagories nationwide.
