WashUStl & Emory..then the also rans.

In maybe the biggest mismatch since Thermopylae, Otterbein hosts 16 Spartans from Case Western Reserve (that's the total squad) today in a DH.

[ADL70]

Incredibly the Spartans earn a split taking the nightcap 9-7!

Brandbeis beats Emory.  It appears I have mis-judged them!

Emory beat Rochester and WashUStl, Case Western Reserve.

cwro70,
So is Nobby's Ballpark really going to be ready for the season?  Home opener's in 2 weeks... but when I walked by the site last night, it looked like they had a ways to go.  I also remember the park was originally slated to have 1000 seats, but more recent reports state 500.  Has there been a recent change?

Rochester 6, Brandeis 5
Case 4, Rochester 1
Emory 6, Washington 4

Beware the Ides of March! 

Emory leads by 1/2 game over WStL, Case and Deis.

Rhett sounds like you are way closer to campus than me.  They didn't break ground until January.  Seems an odd time to start construction in Cleveland.  I thought they were supposed to start last fall.  500 seems more appropriate.  I know they are hoping to get other teams to use the facuility, but 1000 would be pretty empty for Case Western Reserve baseball.

Looks like Coach Englander's strategy was to go with his best pitcher for the most winnable game.

I see what you mean, they posted pix yesterday.

The new subject heading is facilitate identifying the various boards on the main message board by sport and then conference.

We look forward to the 2008 Season, and congratulations to Emory on the great season in 2007.

Chicago cannot participate in the UAA baseball tournament because it has final exams at the same time - I think it is the only UAA school on quarters.  This year, they will be doing something a bit more adventurous than their usual spring trip - the week after the UAA championship.  The Maroons are heading off to Japan.

They will play Waseda University for the first time since 1936.   At the invitation of Waseda, the Maroons will take on the 2007 Japanese college baseball champions at the Hiroshima City Stadium on Mar. 23, the Osaka Dome on Mar. 24, and the Seibu Dome in Tokyo on Mar. 25 as part of the university’s 125th anniversary celebration.

You can read the press release here.

Here are some pics from Waseda's 1921 visit to Chicago.

A bit politically incorrect of the New York Times, but it was 1915. Headline: 20,000 JAPS SEE BALL GAME.; University of Chicago Defeats Waseda at Tokio, 5 to 3.

A lot on the web - just search baseball, waseda, chicago.
