Does anyone know what happened in the IWU/Wheaton game?  The livestats have been frozen for hours - rain out?

Suspened due to darkness at 5-3... 10 am tomorrow.

I believe the game was suspended at 5-2, not 5-3.  The delay doesn't help Wheaton much as Little probably won't be able to throw again tomorrow and who knows what their status is with arms from the Augie game.  I would like to think all 4 of those guys would be able to throw again, except maybe Fallon who went just over 3 innings.  But, I don't have pitch counts...  They may have to pitch by committee if they are going to have a run at it tomorrow.

Wheaton downs IWU, 8-3.  IWU is out (and almost certainly out of the national tourney).

Does anybody think Wheaton or IWU has the credentials for a Pool C bid?

IWU may have had a shot with a second place finish in the CCIW tourney, but a third place will not get it done. Wheaton made a great run late in the season, but I am still thinking they will be left out. I thought they should have been in the week's rankings, but I am not on the committee to make those decisions.  Had they been in the regional rankings, I think they may have had a chance.

I don't think either team has a shot with comparable records of 23-19 and 24-16 respectively.  They'd have to have won the tournament to continue post-season play.

IF Wheaton had forced a second game today, and IF IWU remains in the regional rankings (so they'd have a 4-1 record against a regionally-ranked team), I would have said Wheaton was a bubble team.  Now I think the CCIW is almost certainly a one-team league.

Congratulations to Carthage, and represent the conference well!
