Congrats to ONU's Matt Rader named OAC hitter of the week for his performance in Myrtle Beach last week. He was 9-for-17 (.529), drove in six runs, scored eight, had two triples and a double.

Not sure of the level of competition but an impressive week

The level of competition is pretty bad to say the least.  ONU has few if any tough opponents until league play.  They are hitting the ball well, but pitching still seems to be a rough point.  Congrats to Matt, he deserves all the praise in the world.  After being benched for two seasons and never seeing the light of the field, bergman finally decides to play him.  Still NOT a fan of this coach, he is pretty bad.  The addition of all american coach Jeff Mercer (Wright State) had to be the spark the bears needed.  Very good weekend, going 3-1 in indiana, but playing no competition. 

Congrats to the rest of the OAC for a good weekend!






Their pitching is going to be a problem once they get into OAC play, IMO.  The hitting has been great, but they haven't really faced anything like what they'll see on a daily basis in conference play from that aspect either.  That being said, you have to beat the teams you should...and they have.  For that they deserve praise.

I completely agree.  Im proud of the bears, hope they keep it up.

Hi all, Gramps here.  Took a trip to Delaware, Ohio  this sunny afternoon.  Good day for a ball game, a Bishop and Berg baseball game.  They were like two giants in a tug-of-war ---   First OWU goes ahead 3-0, than the Berg at 4-3, the Battling Bishops at the home half of  the 8th inning are cruising at7-4.

Top of the 9th:  1st batter pops up to the ss, 2nd batter, Rickie Lizcano blasts his first HR of the season; (7-5 OWU), Gar Keen HBP, one on, Willie B(rechun) singles, two on; Jason Lash hits his first HR of the year - -WHAM - - -BAM, 8-7 Berg.

Andy Lowe, closer, finishes the game for his first win of the year.

Heidelberg stands at 9-1 for the young season.

Sounds like a heck of a ballgame yesterday down in Delaware! 

Tinman

Muc dropped Walsh 8-5 finally decent weather in Ohio Ferrell comes through again 3 run double when it was needed

Gramps

The Berg does it again, down 9-4 in the bottom of the 5th, they score 8 runs in the top of the 6th, add one more run in the 7th  to win the game over a good Adrian team with a 13-9  final score.

And an exciting game it was with  a total of 27 hits (H 14 - A 11); 22 runs, you wonder what these teams have left in the tank for their double header at Peaceful Valley tomorrow.  If you love this game of baseball, no matter who you follow, show up to watch, you won't be disappointed.   

Gramps

Peacefull Valley was anything  but peaceful yesterday with the Berg erupting for 8 hits for 5 runs in game 1 and 16 hits for 9 runs in game 2. The pitching was just as strong as Nate James held Adrian to 3 runs and had 9 Ks while gaining his 3rd win and  Andy Lowe no runs, no hits, and 2 Ks for save #3.  In game 2, "Sly" Nino had a 4 hitter with 6 Ks for his second win.  Lowe also finished this game for his 4th save.
It was good to see Drew Buelow back from his injury and contribute with a 1 for 3 in game 1 and 2 for 3 in game 2 and did well in the field.
Game one had the following come up with the 8 hits: Williams, Lizcano, Brechun, Lash, Decker, Monroe & Buelow.
Game two hitting was led by Decker 3-5 with 2 hits each from Williams, Keen, Brechun, Lash, Buelow & Colatrulio with Lizcano getting a hit.
As you can see, this has truly been a team effort.  Every game seems to feature a different player having a good game.

Heidelberg jumps to #2 in new poll:http://d3baseball.com/top25/2010/week-4

Check it out. 

The Berg travels to Denison for a game this afternoon.  Hope the weather holds out.


GO BERG!!

I posted this over on the NCAC board, but just to let everyone know in here as well, today's Wooster/Marietta game has been ppd. due to weather.  No news about tomorrow's Wooster/Cap game as of yet.

countyroad

Looks like the Wooster game with Marietta has been rescheduled for Thursday @ 3:30.

Gramps

Berg bats beat out a steady rhythm  as all eight position players contribute to a
14-7 victory over Denison.

Led by by S. Decker's 4 hit, 5 RBI; A. Monroe, a 2 run HR; W. Brechun, a 2 run HR; and the supporting cast of Williams, Lizcano, Keen, Lash, and Buelow, the Berg carved out 16 hits to score the 14 runs.

E. Thomas  goes to 2-0 with a 4 hit, 2 ER, 3 Ks and 6 BBs effort in a 5 inning stint.

What a way to celebrate being named the #2 team in the latest poll.

Gramps

Case Western Reserve ends Heidelberg's six game win streak with a 6-3 win at Peaceful Valley.

Rickie Lizcano led the Berg with a 2 run HR while going 3-4 at the Plate. Gar Keen contributed 2 hits while Elvin Williams and Willie Brechun had a hit apiece.

On this rainy day here's a little article about Cap's QB turned baseball player Marty Assmann from BSB to pass the time:

Hopefully the sun comes out as the OAC slate (kinda) gets under way this weekend.


Tinman

Mount better find their hitting shoes for the Marietta game!
They only had 8 hits in the 15 inning marathon with N.D. (Wood 3b and Ferrell cf had three each)
or it is going to be a long day on Saturday!

Dr. Acula

Agreed tinman.  The thing that stuck out to me was that they only had 2 hits over the last 8 innings of that game.  Not good.  Hopefully they got that out of their system just in time for the OAC schedule.
