After a 3-0 opening weekend for Wheaton,  David Solfelt and Sam Reichert swept the Conference Pitcher and Player of the Week Awards respectively. Solfelt was dominate through 5 scoreless innings in his debut as a starter: Striking out 8 and was hitless through 3. Sam Reichert came out of the weekend with a .583 average with 7 hits in 3 games including a homer and a few doubles. Congrats to both players!

Wheaton with an understandable amount of errors for it being their first time outside and playing games last weekend, but the fielding needs to get cleaned up sooner rather than later.

Today was the first game of the Titans' 8 game spring trip in Auburndale, Florida.  They beat Illinois College 11-8.  (IC is located about 40 miles from Bloomington, but the weather was better in Florida!)

North Park opened up its spring-break trip in Auburndale, FL by splitting a pair of seven-inning games with Mount Union. The Purple Raiders took the opener, 4-3, despite a three-run homer by NPU shortstop Jake Reinhardt. In the nightcap, Ethan Sund went the distance for the Vikings and shut out UMU, 9-0, as he scattered four hits and struck out 11 while only allowing one walk. Combined with his big win over Concordia (IL) last weekend, he's off to a heckuva start to his junior season.

Carthage's Big Red Machine jumped out of the gates quickly yesterday sweeping a DH from Luther in Arizona.

Keith Kutzler went 6 innings with 12 Ks. Nate Odahl returned to the mound after missing nearly all of last season with an injury and K'd two of the three he faced. One down side to the pitching was 13 BBs in the DH. That has to be cleaned up a bit but the arms appear to be solid on the front end of the rotation.

Offensively, Carthage had 8 different players collect multiple hits on the day including triples and 4 RBI from BOTH Johnny Belskis and Jake  Mitchell. Here's to hoping Carthage returns to form in 2020.

North Central finished off their Florida trip with an 11-7 win over #20 Heidelberg to up their record to 7-0.  The Cardinals starters have been touched up a bit but the bullpen work for the Cards has been very good.   Eric Outlaw leads the Cards with a .586 average on the young season while Justin Rios comes in at .533 to this point.   Great start to the season and a lot of baseball to be played!

Good start, but short-lived as they fall to Wabash, 8-7 in 10 innings on Sunday.  Wabash scored on a bases loaded BALK in the top of the 10th.  Starting pitcher in the game on Sunday, Dante Guarascio, gave up 7 earned and 10 hits in 4 innings.  Redmen relievers were good until the 10th, where they hit the lead off guy, walked the next, got a ground ball out and then walked the next to load 'em up.

Apparently Jacob Delabio was touching 96 in game one, but much like Todd Greenlee (reference for Poppa)...couldn't find the strike zone however, walking 4 in a third of an inning worked on Saturday.

YES! Todd Greenlee!!!!! (aka, "Horse") I have stories about THAT guy!  He once tossed a no-hitter and allowed 3-4 runs.... mix in about 8 BBs and 5 HBPs... and a few balls off the backstop... and they were able to scrape together a few runs. I believe he hit the first three batters of the game on three pitches.

While Delabio struggled Saturday, I've always felt the second start is the best indicator of pitchers... many are just throwing off dirt for the first time in 6 months, and have nerves rumbling through them in their first outings of the season. Here's to hoping he settles in for his second appearance.

North Park edged Dubuque yesterday in Auburndale, 7-5. Tyler Banks picked up his first quality start, and Justin Woolbright came in and pitched two perfect innings at the tail end to pick up the win while also driving in the winning run in the 8th.

Aside from Jake Reinhardt and Jared Cantu the Vikings aren't hitting much, as they're clearly scrambling to account for the temporary absence of two key injured bats in Ranko Stevanovic and Brad Maurer, but, with the exception of their ugly outing against Webster down in Sauget on February 29, they've recovered nicely from getting their ears pinned back by Birmingham-Southern in the third week of February.

This reminded me...Carthage has been without Vince Schwartz in their first three games.  Not sure what's going on there but he hasn't had an AB yet this season.

He'll be back in the lineup soon. Minor injury they are being safe with.

I've been remiss in updating from Auburndale. :-[  On Saturday, they beat Ursinus 6-1, with 3rd baseman Jack Schneider having a 4 2 3 3 box line - two HRs.  On Sunday they crushed Gordon in a DH, 13-1 and 17-4.  I have no clue how decent Ursinus or Gordon are or aren't, but I like moving to 6-2!

On Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday they will play Beloit, UMass-Dartmouth, Simpson, and C of NJ, all in single contests.  Again, not familiar with the quality of any of these teams, but wins are wins.  (Though they showed in 2010 that wins prior to the post-season (as long as you win enough to make the conference tourney) don't mean squat - win the right games at the end, and all is golden [or Walnut-and-Bronze]!) ;D

Carthage moved to 3-1 yesterday with a 13-10 win over Marian (WI) in AZ. The Carthage bullpen appears to be a dumpster fire right now (with the exception of Odahl who had another solid relief appearance) as they continue to give up runs. Delabio had his second appearance out of the pen and it left off right where his first ended. He has now walked 6 and only recorded 1/3 inning at this point. He needs to figure it out for Carthage is to have any shot in the CCIW.

In typical Carthage fashion, they are piling up runs. 40 runs in four games.  They are off until Thursday when they face Bethany Lutheran so that should allow the rotation to turn over and we should get a truer sense of how the Carthage arms are this year. Hopefully the bullpen issues have just been nervous hiccups in first outings and they get back on track in their second go-round. If the pens struggles they'll be forced to ride the starters deeper into game and that shows later in the season.

Is this a new record for the earliest reference?!

If not, I blew it!  My intention was to give Greg his jollies; barring some irresistible occasion later on, I have no plans for any further 2010 references! ;D
