Marietta pitching staff will indeed get a test if all the scheduled games take place this week.  7 games in 5 days-6 of them OAC games.

it'll be like the good 'ol days in Panama City when we played 16 games in 9 days. :)

they should be alright.  The guys who go Tues can come back on Sat (most likely Williams & Gasser)...and the Wed guys will be in relief on Sat (Blaski & others).  The Wooster game on Thurs will just be a johnny-wholestaff effort, hopefully the bats are ready to score at least 8 runs against the Scots.

Like always though, the league games are what matters at this point in the season.

Will soon see who is a fourth starter, Levens injury still nagging or is he able to return this week?  Intra-district games are still important to win.

Mount has managed to get a few wins with the Freshmen experiment.  They have got to get rid of the errors before facing the stronger OAC teams. 

Tinman maybe you can shed some light on this.... Have the errors disappeared because of a shift in focus and philosophy or is it a statistical streak that has netted some wins?

I'm not shocked that better defense has led to more wins... seems to be the new formula all over baseball not just OAC baseball

Looks like the makeup date is May 1 at Wooster. That's right after the NCAC tournament. Marietta has a conference DH the day before, so this looks a battle of mid-rotation starters at best.

If you have followed D3 baseball for very long you would know that it's almost always a battle of mid-week starters when these powerhouses play during the regular season....nothing new.  With the weather as bad as it is, and the limited amount of time to get games in around conference requirements, Wooster & Marietta usually end up meeting and throwing johnny wholestaff at each other.

I wouldn't be surpside at all if this game never gets played.  There is a lot of time between now and May 1st to have plenty more league rainouts to make-up.

The Regionals is where the fun begins with the Big Guns on the mound...everyone knows that.

I've been following the game for going on 20 years. I remember when these two teams only played in the regionals.

Usually it seems like Wooster has the edge in pitching in this matchup because of a weaker conference and the 4-game series that let them plan a little differently. But this year, it could actually end up being a better matchup than it usually is. #3 vs. #4 or something along that line, depending on how much pitching Wooster goes through. It's odd to have a game the day after the end of a conference tournament. Even in the regular season, the round robin DH schedule the NCAC has now really changes the landscape in that league, IMO for the better.

Lot of season to go though, as you say.

THE BERG is now at 20-4 with 2 OAC wins over JCU yesterday by a 2-0 score in game 1 and a 11-2 finish in game 2.

The defense played a huge role in game one with 2 DPs and key inning ending plays with runners in scoring position. In game 2, THE BERG unleashed their powerful bats as they tatooed 19 hits for 11 runs.

Next up for THE BERG is an OAC DH with Wilmington this Sat at Pleasant Valley.


GO BERG!!!!
