Correct, Chuck. Not the slightest bit relevant, but ... correct. ;)

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! ;)

Isn't it technically infinity because they have a combined 0 innings pitched?  :P

Probably - but when a pitcher has pitched 0 innings so far in a season, his ERA is always listed as 0.00.

Yes, that's standard baseball recordkeeping, because typewriter keyboards didn't include a ∞, and it's likewise cumbersome to have to put one in via Unicode when using a computer keyboard. (The ∞ symbol is called a lemniscate, by the way; there's your fun fact for the day. ;))

Wow!  I cannot wait for the opportunity to use the word lemniscate in a sentence.

:)

There!  I just did!   ;D

Thank you!
In Stat Crew, pitchers without an appearance do not show up in the cumulative stats. If a pitcher allows an earned run without recording an out, Stat Crew displays a default ERA of 99.00.

Mr. Ypsi

After three innings, NCC trails Cal Lu 5-1.  The Cards are still hitless, but scored the run on a hit batter, a walk, a bunt, and a fielding error.

It's now 7-1 Kingsmen after a two-run homer in the fourth.

Mr. Ypsi

Cards got 3 back in the bottom of the 4th, and this time there were actual hits involved!  In fact, FIVE of them.  Middle of the fifth, Cards trail 7-4.

Mr. Ypsi

Game MAY have gone out of reach, as Cal Lu tacks on 4 more in the top of the 7th.  Schell gets them 1,2,3 in the top of the 8th, but the Cards trail 11-4 with only two more chances.

If I'm reading the bracket correctly, if NCC loses they will face UMass-Boston in a rematch at 1:15 tomorrow.  If they rally for a win, they would face the winner of Cal Lu/UMB at 7:45 tomorrow.

mr_b

The Cardinals take one on the beak, 14-5.  They play UMass Boston tomorrow, and the winner of that game will play Cal Lutheran tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Mr. Ypsi

NCC leads 4-3 entering the ninth.  IF they hold on (Rogalski is on the mound, so my bet is they will), they get another crack at Cal Lu late this evening (listed as 8:45 Central, but things are getting backed up a bit - it may be even later).

Mr. Ypsi

Rogalski gave up a single and a double; they're going to the bottom of the ninth tied at 4.

By now, God only knows what time the game against Cal Lu will start.  Roanoke still has to play W&J a half hour after this game ends, then the Cal Lu game starts a half hour after that one finishes.

NCC looks like they want to get on with the day - lead-off batter Weilbacher gets a double!

lmitzel

Weilbacher scores on an E-5 and the Cardinals walk off 5-4 to stay alive!
