CCIW pitchers were underwhelming throughout the entire regular season, really, not just in CCIW play. Take a look at this overall season's cumulative ERA and WHIP (through this past weekend's games) and compare them to the last few seasons:


year  ERA  WHIP
2011  4.97  1.43
2012  4.48  1.53
2013  4.39  1.47
2014  4.70  1.54
2015  4.45  1.48
2016  5.17  1.62
2017  5.40  1.68

The league's pitching is slipping pretty dramatically. Kovo, you can't really challenge the numbers based upon the small sample size of four games by one team.

They got hot at the right time.
You win! You always do!

Bracket's out, and North Central will open College World Series play on Friday at 4:30 against UMass-Boston as part of Bracket 2. They'll play either Cal Lutheran or Wheaton (MA) in their second game.

...Even though they're in a completely different conference and state and have no affiliation whatsoever with a certain college a few miles north of my alma mater other than sharing a name, am I a bad person for wanting Wheaton (MA) to crash and burn just because it's Wheaton? :P

Always interesting to see the differences between the D3Baseball All-Region teams and the ABCA All-Region teams.

Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

From looking at CCIW players and the difference it sure looks like Sotiros from NCC got the shaft by the ABCA.  His stats overall look better than the 2 placed above him and yet the same three players were selected by D3Baseball but in different order.

You might actually want to do the opposite, since Wheaton (MA) is a thoroughly secular institution that takes great pains to point out to one and all just how markedly different it is to Wheaton (IL) in terms of beliefs, policies, and mission:

Of course, having said that, I know full well that if North Park was going to play Wheaton (MA) in something, regardless of sport, NPU students would have the same reaction as you. They'd even probably break out some of their specialized anti-Wheaton cheers that so blithely flout the CCIW sportsmanship statement.

Here are the ABCA/Rawlings All-American Teams for 2017.

Congratulations to Mike Mateja of North Central and Ben Havel of Elmhurst, who were both first-team selections.

Mr. Ypsi

Total pitchers' duel thru 6: each team had only three hits and UMB led 2-1.  Then the Cards chased the UMB starter and feasted on the relievers.  They tied the game at 2 in the top of the 7th, then rang up 3 more in the top of the 8th.  They're entering the ninth, up 5-2.

Mr. Ypsi

Going to the bottom of the ninth, still 5-2, Cards.

NCC wins 5-2!  Way to go, Cards; keep it rollin'!

And congratulations to Austin Polezoes who had a complete-game 4-hitter for the win.

The league's pitching is slipping pretty dramatically. Kovo, you can't really challenge the numbers based upon the small sample size of four five games by one team.



The sample size is growing.   ;D

You're absolutely right. It's grown from 1.55% of the overall CCIW season to 1.93%.

At this rate, if North Central's pitching staff can hurl, say, another twenty or so well-pitched games in the playoffs, it might actually start to mean something in the league's overall picture. ;)

Mr. Ypsi

On the other hand, Greg, the pitching staff's of the other 8 schools have an ERA of 0.00 for the last couple of weeks! ;)
