Wow.....

But seriously, folks.  These things are hard to translate and relate across leagues...however, the three top SCIAC teams did sweep their way in rather impressive fashion to close out their seasons against competitive teams.  All three go into the weekend riding some momentum, the SCIAC Championship Series should be a good one to watch.
You can't leave me....all the plants will die.

That's a big change for Trinity, but the good news is that they still have a conference tourney to play, and 2 of the 3 teams ahead of them right now will get 2 more losses.  Going to be a very interesting wait for next weeks regional rankings after 2 squads punch their ticket this weekend.

Conference tournaments will shake this all up. ASC starts this weekend. Should be interesting. The league is balanced so I expect some surprises.

I believe in the balance of the conference, but I hope that the conference Pool A bid doesn't go 2 and BBQ in the West Regional!

Most teams go through a funk, however Trinity's timing is not great heading into a conference tournament with 2 other very competitive teams. They better win the conference if they want to be in the West Regional. Scannell is as good as any coach getting a  team ready, but I am not sure if they will have one of the their top pitchers back for the tournament or not. By the nature of the program they tend to have more depth than the other SCAC teams so they can, and have , come through a loser bracket, as they will face one of the top pitchers in the SCAC this afternoon. Going to be a very competitive conf. tournament.

Absolutely.  Five of these teams listed right now will have 2 more losses added, and those who win their conference tourneys will add some wins against regionally ranked opponents.

Sadly, unless Trinity gets job done against Centenary (who probably starts Matthew Devillier today), their season may be over.   Such a shame given the way the season started - the last several weeks have just been painful.

Trinity loses 4-0.  Trinity is out.

It is crazy to think Trinity could miss getting a bid.  I don't see any of the SCIAC teams dropping below them and  mix of TLU, Concordia, and Tyler will move ahead of them, likely putting Trinity 3rd or 4th on the table from the West.  It's going to be a tough couple of days waiting t=for the next RR to come out.

Chapman 32-11 VS Redlands 33-9 in SCIAC Tournament Championship game Sunday May 5th. Chapman needs 2 wins. Do both get into the Regional Playoffs/ I think so.

I think it is very safe to say both Chapman and Redlands will be playing in Spokane in a few weeks. La Verne is really going to have to wait and see where they are ranked regionally on Thursday, but I think they will drop too far.

Trinity laid the biggest egg in end of season play in recent memory losing 5 of their last 6 games and going 2 BBQ in their conference tournament....very un-Trinity like. They certainly will not be in Spokane next month regardless what they have posted on their website. Very disappointing end to what started out unexpectedly strong season start. Just shows how important it is to improve during the season and to be playing well at the end. TLU or Centenary will represent SCAC in the tournament and both are playing good baseball right now.

Centenary bring Kirk back on 1 day rest after throwing 127 pitches on Friday....that hurts my arm.
