Mid-East Region 2014

[motorman]

OK, so we've stayed in it longer than H-berg, Marietta, and JCU.

Good.

Let's keep it going!

I would hope you aren't happy until you break through and make the World Series. After reaching a regional title game last season,  anything short of that this season should upset you. Being eliminated later in a regional tourney than some other programs doesn't get you a flag to fly over your ballpark. Good luck today, and hopefully tomorrow.

While I agree with the sentiment of not celebrating too soon, why can't you Marietta people ever let someone enjoy what they have accomplished so far this season without throwing the "so what, you haven't won a championship before" comment out there? It is ancient history that doesn't apply to this year at all.

Waite came back today after going 9 on Thursday and it didn't go well.  He's gone in the 2nd with BW down 5-1.

[Dr. Acula]

Durbin is keeping BW in this game.  He's retired 14 straight in relief.  BW trails 6-2 in the 6th.  They need to put some pressure on the Wesleyan defense.  Way too many pop ups/fly balls from what I've seen.  Wesleyan is obviously thin on pitching playing their 4th game in 36 hours so if BW can chip away at this and get into the pen they have a solid chance. 

[Dr. Acula]

There ya go, Jackets.  They chase the starter and then plate 4 runs in the 6th forcing Wesleyan to go to a 2nd reliever still in the 6th.  It looked like Wesleyan would escape unscathed, but an E6 scored a run with 2 outs.  Then the flood gates opened.  Zimmerman hammered a RBI triple over the RF's head, Chontos smoked a RBI single to right and then Handel ripped a line drive 2B down the RF line to score the tying run.  The middle of their order just flexed their muscles big time that inning.  That looked like BP.

Great job Case, way to battle and extend the season! Good luck tomorrow, keep that regional bid in our region!!

As I said before.

Let's keep it going, as we have thus far!!!

GO SPARTANS!!!

[ADL70]

Five errors spoil Fortunato's four-hitter.  Despite ten hits, Spartans eliminated by Salisbury, 2-3.

[Spence]

Congrats to Salisbury. No idea how the game went but the whole regional was pretty balanced and competitive.

Good luck to Baldwin-Wallace in Appleton. It's a step up in class but I think they'll be ready for it.

Spartan Neal Krentz threw a seven inning no hitter beating Rochester 12-0 (game shortened by tournament run-rule).  Although he walked five, he struck out eight.

The first no-hitter in UAA tournament history.  Unannounced if a pitcher ever threw seven or more hitless innings previously.

[DagarmanSpartan]

OK, after yesterday's win, we're now tied for first.  Let's hope that we can win it!

If only Chicago were a part of this, and could make us an automatic bid league.  We're certainly a solid Division III baseball conference, with two teams currently ranked in the Top 15.

[ADL70]

After a mediocre UAAs, when spotty fielding and below par hitting led to a 4-4 record and a 1-3 weekend vs SJF and Mt Aloysius, Spartans have taken three in a row.  Beat Otterbein 5-2 at home and swept a DH at Denison 9-7, 8-5.  The second game featured a snow delay.

H and H with BW today and tomorrow.
