Until a volunteer steps forward, I will keep this board going. (The ASC is in the West Region). The West Region Independents in 2005 included:
--Cal State University-East Bay, (formerly known as CSU-Hayward),
--Chapman,
--Menlo and
--UDallas.
Here is one other hyperlink that may contain material that can help us.

Thanks for posting the links, cawcdad!
:D :D :D Neither NCAA nor I knew that CSU-Hayward had renamed itself! :D :D :D
The change has been a gradual process over the last couple of years, for those of us who are so familiar with calling the school Hayward State. ;D
That is an interesting link. The organization has CSU-Eastbay on their basketball stat list, yet Eastbay plays hoops in the NAIA-2 Cal Pacific Conference, along with Menlo. Both of these schools have dual membership. Menlo is NCAA D-III for football and baseball, NAIA for all others. Eastbay is NCAA D-III for baseball and NAIA for the others.
CAWCDAD -
just a note so we aren't too sexist - Menlo is also D3 for women's softball.
One things that has always iritated me was that Chapman was an independent even thought they are in the middle os all the SCIAC schools. Not to take anything away from what they have accomplished, but they play most of the SCIAC schools and pound them, maybe due to the SCIAC schools saving their pitchers for the conference games on weekend and Chapman throwing their #1,2, or 3 at them. I always feel bad for Cal Lutheran. Pomona-Pitzer, Laverne, etc if they have to play Chapman on a Tuesday and Chapman throws there top while the SCIAC schools throw there #4,5 and 6 to save arms for the conference games.
I will admit that Chapman plays a brutal schedule this year, but it seems unfair to compare them at tourney time to school that do not get a fair shake against them during the season.
Does anybody have insight as to why Chapman does not join the SCIAC? CSU-Eastbay is obvious as there are no other D3s near them other than Menlo.
I don't know if it has been that the SCIAC didn't want Chapman as a member or Chapman wanted to remain independent, but there have been a couple of factors as well -
Chapman was D1 in baseball for sometime until the rules went into effeect that stated for the most part (some exceptions like Colorado College and Hockey) you couldn't be D1 in one or more sports and D3 in others. Chapman decided to go all D3, but they had a number of players who they had recruited that stayed at the school (I would assume under the new guidelines) so they did pound some teams during that transition.
Also, I noted elsewhere on these boards that when Chapman reinstated football, some bad blood developed with a lot of schools that they played (not just SCIAC) because of their wholesale recruiting of players from discotinued programs (CSU-Fullerton) and then their tendency to try to run up the score.
All this took place in the late 80's and early 90's so I don't know that it still impacts relations -
Scrappy, Chapman has done well in Pool B. Please review the 2005 Handbook to check the Pool B competition last year.
When the 2006 Handbook comes out, we can list the Pool B conferences and independents.

I think Chapman is the real deal. They can flat out play. They pound any and all comers. I know, because they pounded the crap out of us when we played them last year. It hurt a lot!!! I didn't realize that they were independent however, I figured they were in with all the other schools you mentioned because they are the schools we usually play when we come out to CA.
Menlo won their first two games of the season in a split double header Saturday, beating The Master's College 14 - 12 in the first game and Patten College 4 - 2 in the second game.
Chapman took two of three from Cal Lutheren in a season opening series. Chapman won 7 - 3 on Friday and then split the Saturday double header, losing the first game 11 - 10 and taking the second 6 - 4.
The University of Dallas has started the season 3 - 0 in sweepeing Hendrix College. They swept a Saturday double header winning 13 - 10 and 9 - 6. On Sunday Dallas won 20 - 3.
Cal State East Bay split their season opening double header Friday with The Master's College, winning the first game 5 - 1 and losing the second 11 - 5.

One of the biggest problems the West Region independents face is having #4 Chapman in their region. Will the NCAA select two independent teams from the same region? It looks like the West is loaded again this year and ALL 4 schools have quality teams. Dallas always does well... Chapman and CSU_Eastbay are both off to good starts.
Menlo is off to a good start as well. Watch out for them, they have more depth than ever, especially at pitcher.
I checked the UDallas schedule and it is favorably constructed to get a Pool B bid.
They play 17 20 West Region games.
From the SCAC, they have swept Hendrix, picked to finish 5th in the SCAC West.
They also have a DH vs. Southwestern which got 1 first place vote and is picked to finish 3rd in the SCAC-West.
From the ASC-West, they play 2 games against Howard Payne, and 2 DH's vs. Schreiner. HPU is predicted to finish 6th (a strong 6th IMHO) and SU 7th.
From the ASC-East, they have Sat/Sun DH's against Austin College, the 8th pick in the ASC-East.
The remaining 2 5 West Region games are against Menlo in 2 single games and 3 against CSU-East Bay. They skip Chapman.
I think that they will need to finish no worse than 14-3 16-4 to get a Pool B bid. Their QOWI may not be too strong. They do not play any of the other Texas powers like UT-Dallas, East Texas Baptist, Texas Lutheran, Concordia-Austin or McMurry or the SCAC's Trinity.
Ralph... thaks for the research. It is very conceivable that the West could get two independent bids... especially with the expansion of the NCAA tourney this year.(I am assuming that Chapman is almost a lock for the tourney)
It will be very interesting to see where the extra bids come from this season.
Big Poppa, I missed the UDallas CSU-East Bay 3 games series! My bad. I edited the previous post!
I like that somebody on here is actually talking about something instead of taking 3 days to reply.
I would not say Chapman is a lock to get in. They lost pretty much everyone from last year so we will see what happens with that. When was the last time you saw a Chapman team with a 4.67 ERA after a 3 game series??? I am not knocking Chapman, but it looks like they have a little work to do this year. They do have a pretty favorable schedule though. They almost never have to use anyone other than their top 3 guys. Their # 1 is a stud. I saw their closer (Darge I think) the other day and he is pretty lights out. Switching subjects.....
Dallas might have a pretty easy schedule, but that does not mean they are a lock. They will probably rack up a pretty nice record, but their SOS will hurt them. Maybe I am wrong. It sure is nice to see the NCAA finally ake the playoff field a little bigger, now I would like to see them stop being so friendly to the East teams with average records. Good to see the season is underway.
Chapman will struggle until they figure out their bullpen... young guys always take a few weeks to settle in. Once they do, Chapman could be nasty. Mid March will be huge for them as many top East Coast teams roll through the area. The advantage will go to Chapman as they will have about 15-20 games under their belt as the East Coasters are getting games 2-3 in... still working the hiccups out of the engines.
Big Poppa, those non-West Region games have no impact on the primary criteria in the Handbook.
Chapman will need to defeat their West Region opponents (SCIAC, NWC, West Region indies and McMurry who has a weekend series with Chapman on 17 and 18 Feb) to be considered for a Pool B bid.
Ralph... another fine point... I still think Chapman will be a solid team this year. Other West Region teams need to beat them to have a shot at getting a bid. Chapman/McMurry should be a good series!
One thing that troubles me is the fact that teams play some quality opponents(out of region) this year and the outcome has no bearing on the selection process. Too bad for the game... it would make them all the more pressure-packed.
I am going to go ahead and say that Chapman should sweep McMurry with no problem, that is unless Chapman starts the same 3 as last week. I see the kid that threw game # 2 got shelled. Is he a new guy or just have a bad day or can Cal Lu hit? Cal Lu looked terrible on friday so it couldn't be the last one.
Rick, McM's Greg Erickson LHP-OF is ASC West Pre-season POTY.
He batted .389 and was 6-4 as a pitcher last season.
http://www.mcm.edu/sports/baseball/teamcume.htm
I want to see the Chapman-McM game in which Erickson pitches.
With respect to playing out-of-region games that do not count, how many coaches would schedule a game that would count?
I submit that we are seeing the number of IN-Region non-conference games that do count. The benefit for the team to play a really great team in a non-region game is that it gives the team an assessment of how hard they need to work to get into playoff shape.
Good point, Ralph.... As a college coach, I often scheduled games that I knew we would get walloped in as it gave the coaches a chance to evaluate great teams and compare our weaknesses to their strengths. Pitching depth is usually the glaring weakness.
It also showed my players just how far we had to go to reach our goals.

Big Poppa, I will tolerate a NCAA-schedule that will allow that.
Coach Driggers at McMurry and many other ASC coaches schedule NAIA and D2 opponents for the mid-week games and use their #4 and #5 pitchers as well as giving off-day work to the rotation for the sake of staff development. For D3, that is important.
Agreed... most schools use mid-week games to get pitchers work. It is a great way to let them throw and work things out without the "in-region" consequences.
I once worked for a coach who was on the NCAA- D3 Selection Committee and I was amazed at what goes on during those meetings. Every game is analyzed and poured over. Obviously, it is a tough process only made tougher by in-region losses.
Teams were placed in three categories at each meeting for evaluation: Yes, No, and Possible... from there they were broken down into many other categories, head-to-head, in-region, out of conference, etc...
Check out this interesting list on the Carthage web page:
Do any of the teams listed surprise you?
http://www.carthage.edu/athletics/index.cfm?page=325
McMurry goes to Chapman for a weekend series on Friday and Saturday.
UDallas lost 3 of 4 to Austin College this weekend.
AC had been picked last in the ASC-East. UDallas has tougher West Region opponents on the schedule remaining.
http://www.udallas.edu/athletics/baseball/schedule.cfm?Year=T
Menlo swept Whittier in two highscoring games on Saturday.
Menlo lost 8-7 to CMC so now they are 4-1.
CMC is Claremont College, right? ??? :)
Yes, sorry for the shorthand -
the actual name is Claremont McKenna College.
Interesting note from the NCAA website
http://www.ncaasports.com/baseball/mens/story/9230848
Huge regional series this weekend as McMurry(TX) travels to So Cal to Chapman in a three-game series.
Should be a great series to watch... DH on Friday and a single game on Saturday... any predictions?
Ralph, does McMurry have the firepower to take a game or two from Chapman?
I am going to give McMurry a slight chance to win one of the games due to Chapman probably not having the pitching. I could be wrong.
Texas teams have never really done well against the West coast teams, and I really don't see that changing any time soon. Much different baseball in Texas than California.
I think that Greg Erickson can match well with any #1 pitcher.
It will be the #2 and #3 that pique my curiosity. :)
Texas Lutheran has already beaten Trinity 4-3, so the ASC-West will be tough again this year. (They also swept NAIA Huston-Tillotson.)

Friday's opener should be a great game with McMurry's Erickson vs Chapman's Klovstad(returning All-American)... I am a bit wary of Chapman's #2/#3 myself... this will be a great test to see if they can step up. It should make for a an entertaining weeknd of baseball. I am trying to squeeze a game or two in on Friday.
Chapman's Tyler Dean (http://www.chapman.edu/athletics/pressReleases/bb02132006.asp) hit for the cycle in back-to-back games last weekend against Pomona-Pitzer.
That is amazing! It would be something to do it once in a lifetime, but back to back games :o
Looks like Chapman is rolling right along with their only loss to Cal Lu. I know they have McMurry in town this weekend and it looks like they won the first game pretty 8-1 and the 2nd game got rained out in the middle. Congrats to Tyler Dean.

Are they playing the cpmpletion and the third game tomorrow(Saturday)?
Klovstad got the win in the first game.
http://www1.chapman.edu/athletics/05-06/baseball/mcm-cu1.htm
Dickerhoff started for McMurry in the first game.
McM led 4-1 in the top of the 4th. No box score or battery yet.
They will complete the 2nd and play the 3rd.
McMurry won both games today at Chapman. McMurry beat them 9-5 in the completion of last night's suspended game and finished them off 8-5 in game #2. It looks like we were right about Chapman's pitching depth. Seems as if the #2/#3 are not nearly as nails as their #1. Congrats to McMurry and a great series. This could set up a great regional rematch...
Menlo lost 2 of 3 this past weekend to Willamette (Northwest Conference). Willamette's picked to finish 6th. in the 9-team NWC. As a Willamette fan interested in figuring out how W. stacks up (they have a lot of underclassmen playing and on the bench, but are 5-1, having taken 3 prior games from Occidental), I was wondering what the projections are for Menlo? Are they considered to be a fairly good team?
Menlo is traditionally not a top quality baseball school... I know they have been steadily improving in the last few years, but they still have a long way to go in order have any impact on the regional level. I may be wrong, but then again, Willamette may be the real deal as well.
Howard Payne defeated UDallas 6-5 on Feb 21st.
Chapman sweeps Menlo on Saturday 10-3 in game #1 and 15-0 in the nightcap.
Looks like Menlo is missing one thing and that is pitching. I would have thought they were a pretty darn good hitting team until I saw the scores against Chapman. Chapmans pitching does not seem all that great and they dominated Menlo. Chapman looks like they might be on a little bit of a roll with all the East coast teams coming out soon.
Redlands beat Chapman last night 9-7... Chapman slides to 10-4. They are definitely down this season compared to the last two or three. I have a good feeling that the preseaon #4 ranking was a bit too high. They may pull it together and get hot, but it appears that their pitching is very suspect, with the exception of their #1 Klovstad.
Menlo split two 7 inning games with Pacific U form the NWC last night.
Seems pitching is still spotty -
The loss was 5-3, but the writeup said that Pacific played long ball.
The win was 4-0 and it praised Menlo's pitching -
Seems to me that Menlo has its ups and downs when it comes to pitching.
Menlo's final game with Pacific was rained out.
Next up -
U of Dallas at Menlo the 14th and 15th of March

Hard to figure Menlo out... they throw well some days and other days they get shellacked. Chapman lit them up for double-digit runs three times a few weeks back. I think they just need to find the most consistent guys and run with them.
Trying to be more objective than negative - I know Menlo in their preview stated that they had a lot of pitchers on their roster -
I am wondering -
1) If they have pinned down yet who is most consistent? or
2) Has anybody really been consistent (on the upside, at least)?
In looking at their stats, Menlo has 4 pitchers with ERA's of less than 5 - between them , they have 2 wins - One pitcher has an ERA of 5.06 and he has two wins -
I don't know other team's stats - I do know when you give up a lot of runs and have really high era's, you need to score a lot to win and that isn't happening either.
They are being outscored this season approx. 124 - 87.
Chapman pounded Ithaca last night 12-1.... Buddy Klovstad moved to 6-0 on the seaon and I think he has won 17 straight games dating back to last season.
Menlo's game scheduled for today vs. U Dallas was cancelled due to poor field conditions (rain las night).
Will not be made up.
Kean(NJ) beat Chapman last night 4-3. Looks like Chapman's pitching is finally coming around, but now their bats are struggling to put up runs.
Here is the schedule for Menlo at the California Invitational this weekend in Southern California:
Friday - vs WI-La Crosse at La Verne - 9 AM
Saturday - vs Montclair State at Claremont - 9 AM
vs La Verne at La Verne - 2 PM
Sunday - vs Cal Lu at Cal Lu - 12 noon
Menlo's second game agains U-Dallas was washed out - no makeup to be scheduled.
Wow! Rutgers-Camden solved Buddy Klovstad (kind of). The winning streak is over after Chapman lost today 3-2. They didn't exactly hit him well, but scored 3 runs in the first and their pitching held on for the win. Looks like Chapmans bats are going cold with back to back loses.
The two best pitchers that McMurry (12-4) has seen are Klovstad and ASC-East Pitcher of the Year, James Halle from Louisiana College.
Q. Why did the cop arrest the baseball player during a game?
A. 'cause he stole second base. ;D
Q Why did the coach kick Cinderella off the team?
A. 'Cause she ran away from the ball. ;D
Menlo survived the Cal Invite with a 3-1 record -
they beat WI-LAX, Montclair State and Cal Lu -
lost to La Verne
Thsi weeked is a big series for them - 4 more games against Cal Lu - at Menlo.
It looks as if the West Region is shaping up to be a good one this year. Chapman is still hot at 15-6 and Cal-State East Bay is off to a 15-4 start.
They have a three game series starting March 31st at Chapman... should be a good one.
I saw that Cal Lu and Menlo split a double-header the other day. Looks like some pretty good pitching all day. Too bad the others were rained out.
I pundited the first baseball poll and Regional Polls on the milti-region board.
Comments invited. ;)

Big series this weekend as west region #s 1 and 2 face off... Cal State East Bay (16-4) at Chapman (17-6). Should be a great three game series. I think Chapman takes two of three, if not a sweep.
This will be a great series. Looks like Chapmans pitching is starting to roll a little but East Bay has some pretty good offensive numbers. Could this be an early preview of the West regional???
Cal-State East Bay takes game #1 Friday night 3-2 over Chapman. I have a feeling that this series will have a huge impact on regional seedings, or determine which one gets left out if it comes to that.
Interesting that Chapman did not throw their ace, Buddy Klovstad, Friday night. He usually starts all their series openers.
Big Poppa, does the DH today have two 9-inning games?
The Chapman coach may have been trying to split the series rather than risk being swept. If I am looking at the Pool B's, then I specualte that he was trying to guarantee a Pool B bid, which I think that going 2-1 or 1-2 in the CSU-East Bay series gets him.
Was the Friday CSU-EB starter the ace of the staff?
I think they will go 2-9s today... but it is pouring right now... I doubt they will play... supposed to rain tomorrow as well.
I think Easy Bay's Friday starter was their #1...
Ralph... it stopped raining in SoCal and cleared up... they are trying to dry the field right now!

But Chapman comes back on the Sat and Sunday to win 15-1 and 5-1.
I have updated the records in the quotation. Chapman brought CSU-EB closer to the pack.
Thats pretty funny Ralph. Looks like Chapman put the wood to East Bay after a tough losson friday. I wonder what this does to the regional outlook. Is there a new poll coming out on monday?
Rick, I am not going to put much credence in the new poll, but I will await the NCAA. I have run the regional records on the ASC-West. (The ASC-East has 4 teams tied for first at 7-5 and 7 teams within 2 games of first.)
Redlands is 8-2 in West Region games, and does not play CSU-EB this year. (Key wins: Chapman and Linfield)
Trinity in the SCAC-West is one other West Region team to watch. They are 15-7 in West Region Games. They have a winnable game at Schreiner on Tuesday and then McMurry plays a key single game at Trinity on Wednesday.
I got ya Ralph but how are 4 teams tied with 7-5 records?? That better be one very tough conference or the West is in trouble.
It would be very nice to see Redlands play East Bay this year but that doesnt look like it will happen until the regional (assuming both make it). Redlands plays a pretty favorable schedule with most of its games at home (27 out of 40) so the only way they will probably ever face East Bay is if they make it to a regional due to the fact that East Bay already travels down south enough as it is. It would be nice to see someone like Chapman or La Verne host a mini tournament so East Bay could play some more of the southern teams instead of the same ones every year (CLU, Pomona, Chapman).
Rick,
7-5 for four teams, 6-6 for one team, 5-7 for 2 more and 4-8 for the 8th place team. :)
CSU-East Bay split a 4 game series with Whittier this past weekend.
Should be an interesting tournament later this week at CSUEB -

I am sure that this weekend's games at East Bay will eliminate a team or two form post season consideration. It should be a very good weekend of baseball. I am guessing that Chapman will do well this weekend... they are really playing well right now. This could determine seeding for the NCAA regional.
BigPoppa -
I think you may be right, but I just noticed something else that may have a big impact on the seedings for the regional -
Both CSUEB and Chapman end their seasons with series against George Fox.

One thing I love abut George Fox is they do not shy away from anyone during the scheduling. The always seem to have a tough in-region schedule... even if they have to travel quite a distance to make it happen.
Was announced today - the 4 team tournament at CSU-EB with Menlo, Laverne, CSUEB and Chapman was cancelled.
The weather has hit the Bay Area hard this year - Menlo has had something like 16 games cancelled.

Wow! Cal State East Bay just finished off a 3 game sweep of George Fox. How much will this help East Bay's chances of getting into a regional? Looks like George Fox is really hurting thier seed as well.
East Bay is playing to get in... George Fox is already in and that may have had a bearing on the series. I agree that it will certainly hurt their seeding and may push them into the bottom half of their regional.

Rick, when the first Regional Rankings are released (?Thursday?), we can start looking at the teams that may make it from Pool B.
Right now, I think that Chapman, CSU-East Bay, Aurora, Emory and Salisbury have good chances at 5 of the 7 Pool B bids.
We can look at the teams in Upstate New York for 1-2 more.
In the Mid-East Region
Wash & Jeff (http://www.pacathletics.org/BBhtml/lgsumm.htm) is 25-9. We need to see their in-region record!

I didn't check the stats, lineups, etc, but I found it interesting that George Fox got swept near the end of the sesaon by Cal State - East Bay (and lost to them one time earlier) while they won the season-ending series (2-1) from Chapman. - I wonder how thie will affect the rankings, seedings, etc.
Drag roughed up a bit today in Chapman's win against Menlo. Chapman was up 8-0 after Tyler Dean and Kurt Yacko's homeruns in the the 1st and 2nd innings. Drag cruised through 4, but gave up 5 in the 5th, and 2 in the 6th (all earned). Yacko came in for the 8th and 9th to secure the win for Chapman. Game 2 is going on right now with Chapman leading 5-1 after the 5th. Tyler Dean with his 2nd 2-run homer of the day.
Apparently Chapman has decided to follow in Occidental's footsteps and broadcast some of their games. According to their website they have decided to broadcast six games via ChapmanRadio.com. I have no idea who will be doing the broadcasts. The dates of the games are as follows:
Mar 10 Kean (NJ)
Mar 17 Montclair St. (NJ)
Mar 24 Wesleyan (CT)
Apr 6 La Verne
Apr 21 Willamette (OR)
May 5 George Fox (OR)
All are Saturdays except April 6.
utilitycat, I will probably forget that these games are on the net, but if you could post the details on game day, you might get more traffic on the server, and I might stumble across the game. :P

I understand Chapman's Tyler Dean injured his ankle in the Montclair game. Does anyone have any sort of update on the injury? Is there any sort of time frame? How significant does anyone think this injury will be?
Assuming he is out for a while, from what I know about this particular Chapman team, I think they may be deep enough to be okay for a while. I don't know if they can expect to win it all without a player of his caliber. Any opinions?

I would not be surprised if Chapman did not punch their ticket to the Regional with their 4-1 performance last week against 4 all quality teams (and all ranked in the top 20).

That may be true. However, just getting into the playoffs is not really the test for Chapman. They assume they will get in before the year even starts. But when you lose arguably your best player, that may change your views on the big prize. I would be very concerned if Tyler is out for a long time. But, I haven't had the pleasure of seeing this years team. I know what kind of player Tyler is, but I don't know just how good this Chapman team is. I would be interested to hear what the Chapman fans think about their chances without Tyler, if in fact he is out.
I will find out tonight how severe his ankle is. As far as how will they do? The road to the regionals they can and will handle. The regionals however his play will be missed alot with this young team. Tyler Dean is the best player and no team is as good without the best player. If this were Yacko or Drag they would really struggle to get out of the regionals. He is the silent leader and he will contribute in what ever capacity he can.
Dean's ankle is a mild sprain. he was up walking lightly on it 6 hours after the game. I say with UMass-Dartmouth, Redlands, and Weseyan Conn. this week it is unlikely that he will play in those games, but ya never know how tough he is.

I would say, why risk it?
Only Redlands in an-region game.
As 2x said a mild sprain. He hit and struck out against U Mass Dartmouth.Why ? Who knows. Redlands game rained out today. Good for Chapman as the need regroup.
With the win yesterday against Redlands, Devin Drag moves to 9-0 on the year. He's turning into quite the little vulture. ;) Devin has managed to record some kind of stat in every game he has appeared in this season. 7 wins in 7 starts. In 4 relief appearances he has 2 wins and 2 saves. Quite an impressive feat. We'll see if it can hold up for the whole year. I do kind of feel sorry for Yacko. He still can't manage a win when he starts, even though he has pitched quite well.
Congrats to Chapman for moving up a spot in the polls.

How about Chapmans nine hole 17 RBI'S. Wow! Kyle Redding Sr Middle Infielder. I would guess he is leading the nation HA HA.

Actually it's not leading the nation, Seth Kivett of Methodist University has 18 RBIs.
He's 16-32 (.500), w/ 2 2Bs, 6 HRs, 18 RBIs and a .590 OBP.
While I suspect you were just trying to stir the pot with respect to Chapman, I will acknowledge that it's cool that Redding has done that out of the 9 hole and speaks volumes about those guys that are getting on base in front of him. Pearson and Hall are leading the team in avg and Hall's OBP is .500
JSG
Stir the pot. I am confused
I see that now and had no facts. That is why I had a haha after the post. Hats off to the leader. The stat for a nine hole is what I was sharing with this board.

Anyone 17 RBIs at this point in the season is indeed having a good start, no matter their spot in the lineup. leading the nation or not. Kivett is just hitting to cover off the ball with two USA South POTW awards this season.

Pictures of yesterday's Wesleyan at Menlo game have been posted, click here (http://www.pictureprints.net/albums.php?gallery=2134)
Hey, Cawcdad
Once again thanks for sharing those pics with the board. Hey, i have several questions for you?
Can you add some insights into this year Menlo team. I know that so far they have done well against a good Wesleyan team, however, the other teams that they have played are always considered week. Secondly, who would be their players to watch? Since they are coming out to Claremont (and the driving distance from La Verne's campus to the stags isn't that far, i may just have time to catch this game).
Browneagle, I can't tell you much. Yesterday's game is the first I've seen. Both teams used a lot of pitchers and the ball was up, many fly ball outs. I hope to catch one of the days next weekend against Cal Lu.

CHAPMAN WINS 18TH STRAIGHT, SETTING NEW MARK
ORANGE, Calif. – April 12 is just another one for the books. The Chapman University baseball team celebrated a record-breaking 18th consecutive win on Saturday afternoon at Hart Park in an 11-5 victory over visiting University of La Verne.
Chapman (26-2) also made it 16 in a row at Hart Park, scoring four runs in the second and four runs in the eighth to open up what had been a close game to that point.
The La Verne pitchers struggled to hold Chapman's offense as it had in the first two games of the series. The Panthers capitalized on some erratic pitching to score four runs in the second inning. Chapman loaded the bases with nobody out and scored two runs on a pair of hit batters, followed by a two-run single by junior IF Kurt Yacko, who went 2-for-5 in the game with a double.
Senior Mike Vass snapped a 5-5 tie in the fourth with his tenth homerun of the season, a two-run shot over the right-center field wall. Chapman had the last word in the three-game sweep, scoring four runs on four hits in the eighth, highlighted by a Vass RBI triple and a two-run single by junior IF Tristan Phillips. Junior IF Patrick Ohail went 3-for-4 with his career-best fifth home run of the season in the third.
Freshman RHP Jordan Sigman earned his team-leading eighth win of the season, pitching seven innings and striking out three. Yacko allowed just one hit and struck out four over the final two innings to earn his 10th save of the year.

I would say that this is a very good example to those kids that do have the oppotunity and get drafted as jrs. this shows leadeship determination and how fame and fortune is earned and not just handed out on a silver platter. Even if these kids do not get drafted how important it is to get the education. Play sports and live sports for a career, only in this great country of ours Go Joe and what a great announcer ;D

Good luck to Chapman against Sonoma State. I know the game means nothing to either team as far as playoffs, but the Seawolves will be looking to get back on the winning track against the Panthers after dropping both games of a double header to Stanislaus State Sunday.

WOW!! I am impressed. Nice win heading towards the playoffs for Chapman. Sonoma is on a bit of a skid. heading towards the playoffs.
Let's not overlook CSU-East Bay.
CSU-East Bay is 17-10 in the West Region. CSU-East Bay has four losses to Chapman, but they have beaten Linfield 2 of 3, GFU 2 of 3, Menlo 4 of 4, Whittier 2 of 3, Willamette 2 of 3, LaVerne 2 of 3, CLU 2 of 2, and lost to CMS in the only game.
I think that CSU-East Bay has made a very strong case for Pool B. They play Maryville MO, Wash StL and Greenville this weekend. Those are all in-region games.
This is all so confusing ---- Cal State East Bay isn't listed on any of your Pool list (A, B, or C). If Cal State East Bay has a strong case for Pool B - does that mean that Chapman might not go? Or has Chapman secured their Western Regional Pool B spot?
I know that the SCIAC will not be determined until this weekend – but will the second place team in the SCIAC have the possibility to earn a Pool C bid?

Yeah, it surely is. Especially with George Fox not getting the Pool A bid, they get put back into the mix. CSU-EB beat them 2 of 3. Head-to-head is a big factor in the Regional Rankings.
I have my eye on them. They need to sweep the St Louis trip to catch everyone's attention.
Chapman is a lock and probably the #1 seed in the West bracket in Abilene.

The pool B doesn't work that way. It is a national pool. There is no arbitrary rule that only one team per region can come from that pool, also there is no rule that says that a team has to play in the regional that is associated with their region. Chapman, East Bay, Menlo, Dallas, could all theoretically make the playoffs, and all be sent to various regionals. If in the eyes of the national committee they have earned the right to get in then they will get in.
As for your question about the SCIAC, there is an easy answer for you on that one. NO. Besides the fact that the SCIAC hasn't had a second place team ever make the playoffs, and they haven't had a team win a regional since 1999, usually the pool C bids go to good teams that lose their conference tournaments in an upset. Whoever wins the SCIAC will be the only representative from the SCIAC in the postseason.
ROHNERT PARK, Calif- A four-run eighth inning helped propel Chapman University to an 8-6 win over Sonoma State on Monday afternoon at Seawolf Diamond. The Panthers, ranked No. 1 in the nation among NCAA Division III teams, improves to 32-3 on the season. The Seawolves, ranked No. 5 in NCAA Division II, fall to 39-10.
The Panthers got out to an early 3-0 lead when OF Ryan Hall blasted a three-run second inning home run.
Chapman's lead grew to 4-2 in the fourth inning when catcher Matt Pearson his a home run down the left field line.
In the eighth inning, the Panthers had four singles and a solo home run from DH Stuart Hyman to make it 8-4.
RHP Matt Luzar started for the Panthers and RHP Travis Cross got the win for Chapman.

Great Job by the SCIAC co-champs in beating a good Sonoma State team. I Can't believe that our very own top ranked DIII panther team from the west beat the #5 ranked team from the DII world. Way to go. I am sure the SCIAC co-champs will also be making a quick pit stop at the vineyards in Sonoma to stock up on that thing you call sparkling wine just in time for their end of the regular season celebration.

Fan, I noticed that Luzar pitched yesterday, does this mean that he is back in the rotation? If he is then that will make the Panthers a four man rotation or will they stay with three and use Luzar sparingly?
I also noticed that Sonoma pitched by commitee not wanting to use up there big guns obviously because they have there own playoffs to go into. they are 2nd in there division with a 35-5 record overall and are a very good team this year.

17 strikeouts for one game? or is that a accumulation of 2 games? it sounds like Kitchens threw a masterpiece that has to be some kind of record??? is Kitchensup for the pitcher of the year? i looked at his stats for the season and he has 3 shutouts with some very impressive stats and i guess that he stays on top with the lowest era in the country it was .34 and with a shutout and only allowed 2 hits his era must be in the .2's
if he keeps this up and chapman keeps up the offense they are going to be hard to beat in the regionals as well as the show 8)

I believe that Chapman is that much better than than University of Dallas, the 1200-student Catholic school in Irving, not the University of Texas at Dallas, the 10,000 student (5500 undergrads) UT System school located in Richardson.

17 strikeouts for one game? or is that a accumulation of 2 games? it sounds like Kitchens threw a masterpiece that has to be some kind of record??? is Kitchensup for the pitcher of the year? i looked at his stats for the season and he has 3 shutouts with some very impressive stats and i guess that he stays on top with the lowest era in the country it was .34 and with a shutout and only allowed 2 hits his era must be in the .2's
if he keeps this up and chapman keeps up the offense they are going to be hard to beat in the regionals as well as the show 8)
I believe that Chapman is that much better than than University of Dallas, the 1200-student Catholic school in Irving, not the University of Texas at Dallas, the 10,000 student (5500 undergrads) UT System school located in Richardson.

Rqlph I realize that there is a difference in the two schools as far as student body's are concerned and I concede to the fact that there is a difference in talent level and Chapman is that much more talented but what I am looking at is the number of strikeouts to batter ratio an Kitchens deserves the recognition for the marvelous job on the hill, and the rest of the team for the number of bombs and hits alone is phenominal. I am looking at Kitchens ERA and it is all the teams that he is pitching against as far as his ERA is concerned.
Thanks for the comment gatekeeper. :)
UDallas was a contender in the ASC when their coach was James Vilade, currently at UT-Tyler.
I wanted to eliminate any confusion between UDallas Crudaders and UT-Dallas Comets, the 2007 Pool C team that Chapman saw in the West Regionals and University of Dallas.
As for Kitchens, he is looking like a strong All-American Candidate. :)

Ralph, it was finally a pleasure to meet you this afternoon at the UDallas game, the second game was a win by Capman if you haven't heard already 13-6 I believe, give or take a run by either team. UDallas put up a valient fight before Chapman took the game out of reach, and the cause was mainly walks by UD. It never fails that walks always seem to find a way to score, but when you end up walking in runs it kind of takes the wind out of the sails of the defensive team. Although UD put together some hits in the 6th,7th, and didn't score, but you get the idea.
In the first game when they brought in Yacko, in my opion for what it is worth they did it more for the work that Yacko needed to keep his arm up for the upcoming games in the regonals. His slider was as always devistating to the hitters and that if he had any problems that was because earlier in the game prior to that one when he slid into home he slightly twisted his ankle and limped into the dugout, it was more because of the way he had to land on his leading leg. Anyway I believe that when we see each other again in Abilene you will see him at his best as always.
It is going to be some great baseball in the regional and i think that whoever goes to the WS in Appleton wil have a very good chance to win the whole enchilada. just my two cents ;D
chakote, nice to meet you and your lovely bride. Yacko was impressive today, as was that Kitchens fella yesterday! ;)
Thanks for coming to Texas and I hope y'all (second person plural pronoun... the colloquial equivalent to youse guys, you'uns, etc. ;) ) get to come to Abilene in 2 weeks.
If you do, please take in the museum, Frontier Texas. It takes about 2 hours, but it is spectacular.
For steaks, try Perini Ranch Steak House in Buffalo Gap.
Travel safely! :)
CSU-East Bay to move to D-II (http://news.csueastbay.edu/communique/content_item/E-News/CSUEB_Pioneers_to_Move_Up_to_Higher-Profile_NCAA_Divison_II/)
Pull quote...
Quote
...The next steps in the process call for the University to apply to the NCAA for acceptance into Division II, then to the 11-member California Collegiate Athletic Association, a conference largely made up of CSU campuses that includes Chico, San Francisco, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Humboldt, Los Angeles, Dominguez Hills, and Monterey Bay. Under NCAA rules, Cal State East Bay could begin competition as a "scheduling partner" in the CCAA in 2009-2010, with "active status" anticipated in the 2010-2011 season.
Because of the paucity of D-III programs on the West Coast, this one makes sense for an urban university to join their peer institutions in the Cal State University system.
As I understand it, they can remain in D-III for 2008-09 if they comply with the guidelines.
(Net effect, one less Pool B team in 2010.)
Looks like Yacko is doing pretty well in his first season with the Rockies. Not much of a difference than when he was at Chapman.

Anyboy have a preview of Chapman's upcoming team? I am curious to see how they plan to replace Yacko's bat and glove.

bigpoppa, I made a few mistakes on the infield players on my othe post so i am amending my last post. Yacko is on to bigger and better things with the Rockies but he is not irreplacable. we have some transfers this year that i think will fill the spots left by our seniors as well as there bats. although redding and yak in the middle were an awesome middle infield that also is a credit to the coaching.
With Vass gone also and Stewart the others are just going to have to step up and fill the void and I think we will be alright. We have some lefty's on the hill and with our stud Kitchens on the bump as well as luzar and Sigmond and add the new kids from the left side and we will stay competitive.
Chakote-
How does your recruiting class look? Can you give us a preview of what to expect from the new additions to Chapman program this year?
I will do a preview for the "SCIAC Co-Champion" Chapman panther now. It's no secret that Chapman is the top D-III program in So. Cal, as well as the West region. Chapman loses a lot but I am sure they will do just fine in bringing in many new faces to keep their tradition rolling.
Offense
Chapman hit .345 as a team in '08 and will lose some guys and bring some back as well. Every Chapman regular hit over .300 with the exception of one guy. Chapman returns their top hitter from last year Tristian Phillips. Phillips hit .394 with 10 doubles and 4 home runs. Ryan Hall returns after hitting .357 with 7 doubles and one HR. Patrick O'Hail hit .337 with 9 doubles and 8 hr's. Ryan Prechtel also returns after hitting .337 with 12 doubles and 2 hr's.
Chapman loses some very potent bats in Mike Vass, Kurt Yacko and Stuart Hyman. Vass had a monster year hitting .382 with 11 doubles and 14 home runs and added 54 RBI. Vass also stole 18 bases in 24 tries. Yacko was important in the field and on the mound. Yacko hit .344 with 14 doubles and 10 hr's. Stuart Hyman hit .373 with 17 doubles and 6 home runs. These 3 hit 30 home runs, which is more than half of the team total in '08.
Pitching
Pitching has always been Chapman's top area and they return one of the best in D-III in Wayde Kitchens. Kitchens was 9-0 in 11 starts last year with a crazy 1.10 ERA. Kitchens probably would have won more game had he not had an minor injury early in the year. Also back for Chapman is Jordan Sigman. Sigman had a great freshman year posting a 10-2 record with a 5.38 ERA.
Chapman loses Ryan Clear and Kurt Yacko. Clear was 9-2 with a 4.22 ERA in 15 starts. Yacko is a guy that will be very tough to replace. Not only was he a great hitter, he was one of the best closers in the country in '08. Yacko posted a 6-0 record with a .59 ERA. Yacko had 15 saves and hitters only hit .144 off of him. Yacko also had 71k's in 61 innings.
All in all, Chapman loses 15 wins from their pitching staff in '08 and returns 25 wins.
Chapman has dominated So. Cal in the recent years and I look for the same from them this year. Chapman has too many weapons coming back in '09 to drop from the top spot in So.Cal.
*I will post this in the West Region Independents as well. Maybe Chakote can add a little insight as well, but it is understandable if he holds back.

HeyJack Parkman, I think that your post pretty much says it all; we have lost some very good impact players but IMHO the team that is coming out in 09 is More well rounded and they are going to fill the spots that were left by these impact players.
Chapman has been a very good coached team from top to bottom and i don't see that changing in the near future. As for there ace on the bump in Wayde Kitchens after his brillant performance during the summer with the NECL I believe that there will be school records broken if not shattered. As long he stays healthy. Same goes for Luzar and Sigmond. I would lke to think that this year is going to be a year that the competition in the west and the co-champs from the SCIAC will make this a year where we will see some very good teams up and coming with some great talent all the way around league.

It was nice to meet all of the Chapman parents who traveled to Abilene this weekend.
Semel really looked good!
Best wishes on the season and good luck.
Chapman beat Point Loma Nazarene University yesterday 4-3 at PLNU aka "America's most scenic ballpark." Freshman Ben Levitt got the win while Wayde Kitchens got the save with a perfect ninth. That could be a very big win for Chapman down the road. PLNU is a quality opponent in NAIA, they received votes in the first pre-season poll. The win won't do anything as far as making the playoffs is concerned, however every quality win helps build character along the way. More importantly though, getting quality starts out of freshmen like Levitt and Richard Matamoros is sign that they may be retooling after some key losses over the last few years. Levitt did not do well in his first two appearances, however getting a win over PLNU may go a long way to building the confidence of a young pitcher.
By the way, after all the doom and gloom of the opening weekend I haven't heard much since Chapman swept McMurry. This gives them four consecutive quality wins; at least according to early predictions of their opponents. They appear to be back on track. They have two big games against La Verne coming up. Should be some good games if the rain holds off.
Anyone have an opinion on how CSU East Bay looks this year? Trying to gage the match up between them and TLU this weekend...
A view of Point Loam's amazing facility in San Diego. After years of coaching there, I can truly say it is an amazing place. The porches are very short in the corners, but it is balnced by the strong winds blowing off the Pacici Ocean. You have to be a man to hit it out most days. If the wind shifts, games quickly turn into 27-25 slugfests.

You coached there? Tell me you had to retire because it was costing you money to still be working. That looks like heaven. Holowaty told me years ago he never had to work a day in his life being a coach. With the facility ECSU has I could see his point. But your place is just...wow.
Interesting game today ... LaVerne beating Chapman. It will be interesting to see how Chapman rebounds with an off day tomorrow and then playing LaVerne again on Saturday. That's three losses early but they have a history of coming out of the gate strong. I guess pre-season rankings sometimes don't mean a thing. But I wouldn't rule them out of anything just quite yet.

DG- After reading my original post, maybe I was not too clear. I coached in the GSAC conference, not at Point Loma. We played there 2-3 times every season and it was always a special day to be able to hear the waves crashing from your dugout. I can truly say that I never felt like I really had a job while a full-time college baseball coach. I eventually walked away due to many factors (hard to own a home in SoCal on a coaches salary, not fair to my wife and family when I was gone 60-70 hours a week reruiting and scouting).

Absolutely ECF... In my opinion, Coach T will get his Ex-SCIAC champs ready for some So.Cal baseball and will indeed help his program bounce back quick. However, Hats off to the Leo's on such big win. As I had previously posted over on the SCIAC board, this game was indeed a must win for the Leo's. Why??? Well because 1) if they want to win the SCIAC they must show other teams that they mean business and 2) with rumors floating around that Sweet would be leaving the team (prior to the battle of the cats game), all sweet had to do was show his teammates that he indeed could work his tail off and those spark that much needed energy that the Leo's needed. Since the Leo's had lost Mehl, Marcus, and Rose, the boys just needed someone to light that fire with his play and in return that had a strong preformance by their ACE yesterday. Should be fun for the Leo's after this big win. Of course, now we just need the panthers on board.

Wow, when was the last time you saw Chapman with a 5.01 ERA?
ERA's are up across the board this year I believe. The ASC team ERA's have spiked tremendously. I dont know if it is because the quality of arms has dropped, the hitting has gotten that much better, or a combination of the two. I think its a combination.
Global Warming, Drought conditions may be the reasons. Thin air at low elevations now. Bring in the Rockies HUMIDORS for the baseballs. ERA will then return to normal levels.

The 1st base foul line points almost due south. Winds from the southwest may blow from right to left. Winds from the south south east blow in from right field. I will defer to the batters who have experienced the winds at Driggers.
Does Chapman go with Kitchens on the hill today against Ithaca or so they wait until facing Kean on Saturday? Thoughts?
I see him going today and coming back next Wednesday for the second Kean game.

I would say he does go today. He went on friday and has 4 days rest. I would figure they would go with Sigman on Sat. and back with Kitchens next wed.
Chapman snuffed out a Bridgewater rally in the sixth and held on to defeat the Eagles, 10-6, at Hart Park on Tuesday afternoon in Orange CA.
Chapman RHP pitcher Matt Irsfeld pitched to final 9 batters on Tuesday.
The righty retired the final nine Bridgewater batters in order, including six consecutive strikeouts. He finished with seven Ks in the three innings for his first save of the year
Matt has appeared in 8 games with ERA 2.00 9IP 12K .188 B/AVG
Nice job of bouncing back for Sigman tonight. His last time out he was shelled at Cal Lutheran. Next up for Chapman are two game swith Kean. SHould be some good ones!

If Chapman can get on a roll and take two from Kean, they could use that momentum to push back to their elite status after a rocky start (rocky by their own standards, anyway).
Chapman now 14 - 5. Solid win against Ithaca. Sigman looked sharp.
Next 2 games against Kean should be a measure of where Chapman is now
Next game 7 PM Saturday Kean @ Chapman at Hart Park, Orange CA.

That's great news if he can be a consistent closer. Heard he had some elbow issues, but if he bounces back and Chapman has a door shutter again, look out.

Great work. I agree with Chapman needing to win this weekend. The SCIAC has three teams here but they should all start to beat each other up a bit. Linfield is looking very strong right now and TEXAS needs another school besides Tyler to step up.
I posted on the ASC board that there is a very good chance that the ASC-West ends up with a multiple tie and that easily there could be a 4-way tie at 15-6.
There is only one more series among the top 4, TLU at HSU.
Concordia TX (5-7) has critical series left, at McMurry, UMHB, at Schreiner.
Chapman drops one to CSU East Bay. No Kitchens for Chapman. Good outing by the East Bay starter and a CG by Luzar for Chapman.
Chapman drops 2 of 3 to CSU East Bay. No Kitchens for Chapman which really spells trouble for them. Maybe he just needed a week off, but Chapman can not afford to lose games this late in the season. I do realize 20-8 is a good record, but all 8 losses are to D-III teams, 7 of them in the West region. These guys better figure it out fast.
Agreed... while Chapman's 20-8 overall record is noce, it is their in0-region record that determines their post-season fate. Right now, it is not looking good for Chapman as a Pool B team. They have three games left with Pomona-Pitzer in addition to Redlands and a Dallas. If Kitchens really is hurt, you can almost kiss Chapman's season goodbye. I have said it before... they are a much different team when he does not throw.
I just checked the NWC standings and things are very close up there. Does anyone think the NWC could get 3 teams in? If Chapman falters, I think it could be 3 NWC teams, 2 SCIAC, ASC. I think UT Tyler gets in if they don't win the conferencte tourney. Am I crazy for thinking this way?
Jack- I was thinking about this today as well. Just because the west is a six team regioanl does not mean that six teams from the west HAVE to get bids. They could ship another team from outside to fill it if they feel somone else deserves a shot over a third NWC.
I personally do not see a third NWC team getting in. Putting them with that many bids would put the NWC into a class of conferences that are HUGE powerhouses... WIAC, CCIW, New England ???, NJAC... not sure the NWC is ready for that jump yet, but the emergence of Linfield has been a positive for the entire region. George Fox now has a legitimate rival locally that keep a focus on the region.
My projection:
Tyler- Lock
Pitzer- Lock
Cal Lutheran- Lock
Linfield- Lock
Chapman- bubble
George Fox- bubble
Pacific Lutheran- bubble
Now... all of this goes out the window if MAJOR (ie... an unknown takes a bid with an upset)upsets happen in conference tourneys (the SCIAC does not have one).

I think Chapman is still pretty safe. With six Pool B's this year (according to the latest Handbook revision I've seen), I don't see six better resumes so far. St. Scholastica, Salisbury, Ithaca, Chapman, York and Emory would be my six if the season ended now. Agree or disagree? It would be more interesting if you disagreed ;)
St. John Fisher, Dallas, Huntingdon and Wash U would round out my top 10 contenders. Let me know if I missed a team.

I think the Dallas games are most important since that's Pool-B contender competition. The P-P games are gravy; they're good resume boosters no matter the results. Sure, it could get dicey for Chapman, but that extra Pool B bid this year (if it stays at six bids ;)) is huge.
Chapman is down 9-1 in the 6th against Redlands. No Kitchens for Chapman.

I know everyone jumps on me when I say this every week, but Chapman is in serious trouble right now. Even if Kitchens returns, he can't pitch every game of a regional.
BigPoppa- I am right there with you. It is obvious that something is really wrong with him. They had a D-III regional game today and he didn't throw. They play the next 2 days vs. an NAIA school, so there is no reason to hold him back.
Chapman made it interesting in the 9th by scoring 5 but ended up dropping a very important game 10-9.
Interesting game at Redlands today. Big innings for both teams. Nicholson pitch count was up and the bullpen struggled big time. Chapman pitching had their struggles as well.

Chapman has lost 4 in a row. Will the Committee take into account how they finish.....strong finish or limp to the line?

The "last quarter" of the season is not used as a criterion by the committee.
Ralph, if that's the case, should they make it? They're a good team, but pitching is thin until they get Kitchens back.

Let me look at Regional Rankings next week.
I will look for 6 Pool B teams on that list to see if Chapman has a chance.
Thanks, Ralph, keep up the good work. Thought I'd need an MIT or Cal Tech player to figure it all out!

Big wins for Chapman and Redlands did not need that loss.

Chapman plays Univer of Dallas next weekend - they are also Independent. Isn't Dallas in the mix??
University of Dallas record is 19-12-1. Not sure of its IN-Region Record.
Chapman needs to get by Menlo today before UofD and have teams like
Washington University lose also. Several teams in front of Chapman in Pool B must lose for Chapman to even have a chance at all.

I have UD at 12-12-1 in-region with only the Chapman games left to play.
I don't think CU played themselves closer to being in ... I thought they were in as the #5 Pool B after last week's regional rankings. After the top three or four Pool B's, they all have glaring flaws whether it's winning %, OWP, results against ranked teams, etc. A good OWP and playing regionally ranked teams, which CU has, and has done, is more important than most people think.
Consider this from my area:
No. 1 St. Thomas (15-5 in-region, 1-1 vs. CSS, 3-3 vs. ranked teams,
.643 OWP)
No. 2 St. Scholastica (15-1 in-region, 1-1 vs. UST, 1-1 vs. ranked teams,
.528 OWP)
UST had two losses to unranked teams (albeit teams that are far better than most teams on CSS's schedule), had four more in-region losses, and had a split against the region's #2. CSS had a .188 advantage in winning %, was was down .115 in OWP, and was well behind in results against ranked teams. Despite being compared to a team as strong as CSS, UST was allowed four more losses – even with that split DH – thanks to a tougher schedule. After UST stumbled this week, CSS will be the new Midwest #1. But it took a lot for CSS's wins to leapfrog UST's more complete resume. FWIW I thought CSS should have been #1 last week by a slim margin, although I have no problem with UST at #1 because it was so close in my eyes.
I think Chapman gets a large boost for its comparatively tough schedule. Take a look at the contenders for the last two or three Pool B's (I'm not sold on York, but considering its competition YC could be in good shape. Has YC beaten anyone, though? I like CU more than YC) ... not much to see there in terms of OWP and results vs. ranked opponents. Many of the other contenders have even worse in-region records than Chapman.
Wash U's 20-9 in-region mark masks an OWP well below .500. I roughed out a .463 OWP for Wash U last week, but I'll get an exact number after Tuesday's games. Bethany Lutheran had a subpar .454 OWP heading into this week.

Ralph or Jim D or one of the other guru's here on the wild world of pool "b" rankings for the west, I looked for a little while and couldn't find this question being asked regarding Chapman and where there field of play would be for regionals if indeed they do get the pool b bid?
If I am not mistaken Linfield was shipped out to Indy, Cleveland last year. And I am not quite sure if that was even a pool b ??? So don't mind my confusion it is hereditary but not contagious, and yes they do make medication for this condition :-[
The team is at question here not the place right? Or is it conditioned on where the team is coming from and of course the cost.
Dallas played a good game today and there lefty was for the most part pitching a decent game Chapman was able to get some timely hits with runners in scoring position and the dreaded 2 out rally. Dallas was a very much improved team from last year against us for 2 out of the 3 games. I believe that the jet lag and not playing on your own court made a difference in the first game. Chapman being at home and not having to travel even into there own area gave them huge home field advantage for the first game.
I do know that this isn't the National topics page for where this next statemant is coming from but I wanted to take this moment to offer a minute of silence for A.G. and the lose that his family will suffer for the rest of there lifes. For a dad-father to be taken away from you that way has to be very tough on the kid - family. and if I read it right he was the one up to bat when the line drive struck his father and killed him,( please Rallph correct me if I am wrong but that is the way I understood the comments on the National Topic. We have prayed for the family, both my wife and myself and put them on prayer card that we have available at our church.) :(

Thanks, Chakote! I am pleasantly surprised at Carthage's success this year seeing how they had few returners from last year. I thought they would be "rebuilding" this year and struggle a bit in the CCIW. For once, I am happy to be wrong.
Thanks about AG.
I think that the committee wanted to split the 2 NWC members. IMHO, GFU and Pac LU will be bussed, Chapman will go to Linfield and some other team will be flown to another regional, e.g., Mississippi College or Cal Lu if they get Pool C bids.
Chapman #1 in the west once again, I am sorry for bragging but this is 4 years and 4 years of great baseball, they fought hard all year and didn't give up I am proud of you Panthers thanks for the memories :) :(
Congratulations Chapman, on a successful season.

What do you know about Kitchens' health?
Wayde Kitchens graduated last year and I believe will pitch this year for a independent professional minor league team.
He had outstanding career at Chapman and one of the reasons Chapman made it every year to Appleton while he was there.
Wayde holds or is tied for records for game, season, career strikeouts, season/career shutouts, and innings pitched at Chapman.
Wayde is one the all time top pitchers Chapman has had. Unfortunately he was injured the last half of 2009 season and it would have been very interesting if he was available at last years DIII Championship Series.
Wayde is a great person along with being a great pitcher who comes from a great supportive family and I wish him all the luck in his pursuit of a professional career.

BOX SCORE
http://www.chapmanathletics.com/sports/bsb/2009-10/stats/cu-plnu.htm
SAN DIEGO (2/10) - A slugger has to have a short memory.
PLNU's left fielder Rashad Taylor went to the plate in the bottom of the ninth, three runners on and his team trailing 5-2. The junior was 0-for-4 at that point in Wednesday's non-conference tilt against Chapman. To make matters worse he flew out to end a bases-loaded threat earlier in the game.
In his fifth at-bat the junior who is in the cleanup spot, took a big cut and missed on the first offering from Panther reliever Christian Maietta. Taylor's second swing was just as hard. But this time he connected and sent the ball on a line over the right center field wall at Carroll B. Land Stadium to give the NAIA No. 2-ranked Sea Lions a 6-5 walk off win.
"I was a little hard on myself because of my earlier at bats," said Taylor. "I wanted to be in that situation though. I'm glad it turned out on our side this time."
The Sea Lions fell behind 2-0 before they had a chance to take their first swings as the NCAA DIII fourth-ranked Panthers scored twice in the top of the first. Chapman added a run in the top of the third to go up 3-0. PLNU finally pushed a run across in the bottom of the fourth when shortstop Tyler Kuehl came home on a double steal.
CU (3-1) plated their fourth run a half inning later. Sea Lion right fielder JJ Reading singled home third baseman Wes Kartch to cut the deficit in half in the sixth but the Panthers added another run in the top of the eighth.
The third Chapman pitcher of the day, Richard Matamoros, had gotten out of a jam in the seventh and cruised through the eighth. He gave up a single to center fielder Allen Boyer to start the ninth though. Second baseman Alex Cameron then coaxed a walk, forcing CU to go to the pen for the fourth time. PLNU's third batter of the frame, DH Steven Winnick, worked a walk to set the table for Taylor.
"I knew he [Maietta] wasn't going to throw me a fast ball," Taylor later said. "It was a slider and he left it up and over the plate. I drove it hard the opposite way. I thought it was out when I hit it; I was hoping it was out."
Out it was and out of the dugout came the Sea Lions who mobbed Taylor – who had never hit a walk-off homer at any level.
The grand slam made a winner out of Kenny Houser (1-0) who tossed two innings in relief. Winnick started and allowed four runs – three earned – in 4.1 innings. Davis Koenig kept PLNU in the game with 2.2 innings of stellar relief in which he surrendered just one hit and one walk.
"I think it's big," Taylor said of the win. "Hopefully we can keep up the momentum into this weekend's games."
The Sea Lions (5-0-1) hosts Dixie State for a twinbill this Friday starting at 11:00 am.
This is a good loss for Chapman. Point Loma is #2 in the NAIA right now and will likely be a title contender. For Chapman to play with them after all of the questions they have this year is a good sign for the Panthers.

McMurry vs Chapman
The chill in the air at Hart Park on Friday did nothing to cool down the Chapman bats. The Panthers swept a doubleheader from visiting McMurry, scoring 23 runs in the two games and winning 13-4 and 10-3 to improve to 6-1 overall this season. No. 7-ranked Chapman has scored in double figures in six of its first seven games this spring and is hitting .412 as a team. Meanwhile, it's all been more than enough for the Panthers' pitching staff which has allowed just a 2.36 team earned run average in 61 innings thus far.

Chapman - Pomona game 1
Pomona 4
Chapman 4
Top 8
Not much offense so far. A lot of walks in the game. Pomona's been the recipient of a couple tough calls by the umpires. A possible homerun called foul, their coach was ejected (for what? I don't know). They also had a tough call go Chapman's way at 2nd with 2 outs bases loaded. Runner called out, looked safe. Would have resulted in one more run and the inning continues. Should be a good finish.
------------------
Game ended Pomona 12 - Chapman 5.
Kang hit a two run homerun in the 8th, and that was all they needed. Pomona's bats woke up at the end, but it was a pretty ugly game. Chapman did not pitch well at all, they walked double digit batters, hit a few more, balked one run in, and a wild pitch scored another run. Pomona was the better team in this game for sure.

Chapman can take no oppenent lightly this year in the SCIAC. Last year Chapman lost series with Whittier, La Verne, Pomona, split with Cal Lu and Redlands and almost missed a Pool B bid. This year with only 4 Pool B spots Chapman must win as many in region games as possible to insure a chance to make it to the regionals. 20 in Region games remain with 9 games with SCIAC teams remaining and 11 others with West Region opponents.

http://www.chapmanathletics.com/sports/bsb/2009-10/news/0330
ORANGE, Calif. – The Chapman campus may be on spring break, but the Panthers' offense was hard at work on Tuesday afternoon. The No. 4-ranked Chapman University baseball team flexed its muscles with a 16-7 win over visiting Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges at Hart Park, extending its season-high winning streak to seven games.
The Panthers batted around in both the first and second innings and totaled 10 runs after their first two at-bats. Chapman (18-4) had not scored in double figures in its past 11 games after completing the feat in seven of their first 10 games.
Chapman got started right away in the first inning after each of the first four batters reached base and scoring its first run on an RBI single by senior C Joe Lehman. Senior IF Matt Luzar followed with a bases-loaded double that plated three runs and the Panthers added two more in the inning to lead 6-1.
The Panthers scored four more runs in the second inning without the benefit of a hit, capitalizing on six walks from Stags' pitching.
Leading 10-3 in the fifth, senior OF Ryan Prechtl delivered his first of two home runs on the day, a two-run shot to left that added to the Chapman lead. The Panther leadoff hitter hit a solo homer – his fourth of the season – in his next at-bat and singled in a pair of runs in the eighth to make the score 16-7. Prechtl finished the game 4-for-6 with five RBI and three runs scored.
Although the freshman RHP Travis McGee uncharacteristically gave up 11 hits and five earned runs in 5 1/3 innings of work, the rookie struck out six batters and earned the victory, improving to 5-1 this season. Sophomore LHP Ben Levitt tossed three shutout innings of relief to pick up his second save of the year.
On a side note: In the seventh inning, brothers Tyler Hadzinsky (Chapman junior IF) and Chad Hadzinsky (Claremont freshman LHP) opposed each other for the first time in their lives (aside from the backyard). After waving and missing at a first-pitch change-up from his younger brother, Tyler knocked a base hit into left to gain temporary bragging rights. The elder Hadzinsky was nearly picked off first base by Chad's left-handed move thereafter. But the rookie brother got the last laugh as Tyler came to the plate again in the eighth and Chad struck him out.

Yesterday I stopped by to see a few innings of the second game between Briarcliffe and U of Dallas.
Some of my discussion with a father of one of the Briarcliffe players seemed not to make sense. I found out when I got home that Briarcliffe was not only not D3, they aren't even NAIA.. They belong to the USCAA. I guess that shows how hard it is for Dallas to get games. ???

The 8-member UMAC moves to Pool A in 2011 (and takes St Scholastica with it).
The NECC probably moves to Pool A in 2012, and takes 7 teams out of Pool B.
The Commonwealth Coast Conference goes various ways and may dump 8-10 schools into Pool B for 2 years (2012 and 2013).
Menlo going to NAIA in 2011 and UDallas joining the SCAC by 2012 move 2 from Pool B. RIT leaves the E8 for the LL in 2012.
I think there will be 3-4 Pool B bids in 2012. The number should be "right on the cusp".

Nice to see that Chapman and Linfield are continuing their head to head matchups. That could be a heck of a mid April series.
Quote from: Piobark on November 20, 2010, 09:37:41 AM
Nice to see that Chapman and Linfield are continuing their head to head matchups. That could be a heck of a mid April series.
Last season Chapman and Linfield faced each other 5 times. Linfield winning 3 of the 5. Linfied is now one the elite programs in the West and the country. Linfield has been to Appleton, WI for the DIII Championship 2 of the last 4 years while Chapman has been there 3 of the last 4 years. Also these programs have 2 of the top DIII baseball coaches in the nation with ex-Yankee Boros at Linfield and Tereschuk at Chapman. Linfield is the most fundamentally sound and one of the best coached teams I have seen in the past 4 years at the DIII level.
For 2011 Linfield lost 8 seniors from 2010 and Chapman 5 seniors. It should be a great series in April and maybe a preview of the West Regionals. Hopefully the weather will be better than the last time Chapman played Linfield back in May in the West Regionals. Chapman returns 15 roster players along with its entire pitching staff which ranked as one of the top staff's in DIII in ERA. Chapman also returns 5 starters in the batting order.
With changes in the bats in 2011 to the new BBCOR bats which perform like wood both of these programs should excel because they emphasis is on pitching, defense, little ball.
Chapman continues to lose West Region opponents to play in baseball. This will be 9 games lost. Each year is getting more difficult to replace those games with quality West Region opponents.
It is critical that Chapman move to SCIAC or explore alternatives if not approved to join SCIAC
West Region opponents that are now gone or going

McMurry starter Zack Hewitt pitched well for five innings. However, he ran into trouble in the sixth when he walked the leadoff batter and then on a potential double-play ball, Guse recorded a throwing error in an attempt to get the lead runner and both were safe. From there, the Panthers pounced with two consecutive doubles by Adam Koridch and Charlie Piro that brought home three runs before Mark Saatzer singled home a run to cap the four-run sixth.
Pitching and defense win Championships.

Correct Ralph. Chapman 4 losses(2 by bad defense, 2 with bad pitching). But when you have great pitching, good defense and great hitting you can pile up the W's
Chapman swept the McMurry series.

Game #3 was Chapman 6-5.
An unearned run (by my assessment) in the 2-run Chapman 7th lets the Panthers back into the game at 5-4.
They tie with an unearned run in the 8th.
All of McMurry's runs were earned.

Chapman(6-4) seems to have made adjustments....Losses can be good thing early in the season...
Losses are never a good thing, unless it is your opponent.
But, I do believe in making lemonade when handed some lemons.
Saw most of the first game when Chapman defeated Willamette, bats were working for CU as they hit and scored in "CLUSTERS" again. Fielding is improving. McGee and Rauh were really on.
Rain, rain, please go away.

Nice to see Chapman has turned things around with 6 consecutive wins and has made adjustments required to win games
Chapman has had 2 1 run losses where poor defense cost them these games with 8 unearned runs. 13 errors during the 4 losses has been the big difference.
Chapman pitching has 8 of 10 pitchers with ERA's below 4.00 giving up 31 earned runs for 2.8 per game
Chapman is hitting .273 BA with a OBA of .383 scoring 73 runs for 6.6 runs per game. This is good enough to win games when you hold your opponents to less than 3 runs per game.
Chapman has 21 errors almost 2 errors per game.

Chapman senior Jordan Sigman tied the school record with his 30th career victory in the Panthers' 19-1 win over Rutgers-Newark at Hart Park. The right-hander allowed two hits and fanned six over five innings, facing just three batters more than the minimum in the win. Sigman has struck out 23 in five appearances this season.

Jordan Sigman - Baseball
The "old" man on a pitching staff full of youngsters (he is the only senior on the staff) is in the midst of perhaps the most dominating stretch of his career. Sigman became Chapman's Division III career wins leader last week, defeating the University of La Verne for his 31st victory. The win was his fourth in a row - a stretch in which the senior right-hander has allowed just one earned run over 23 innings pitched. That equates to a 0.39 ERA in his past four starts. Additionally, "Siggy" has allowed just 12 hits and struck out 20 in that span. His contributions helped the Panthers win 15 out of 16 and rank No. 11 in Division III. Chapman is also 18th nationally in team ERA (2.30) and 7th in hits allowed per nine innings (6.19).
Chapman Sweeps Triple header
Coach Tereschuk wins Nos. 299, 300 and 301 in tripleheader sweep

RANGE, Calif. – The Chapman University baseball team swept what may very well have been the first tripleheader in school history, defeating visiting Wheaton College (Ill.) 12-8, 2-1 and 9-2 on Saturday at Hart Park. The second win of the day gave Panthers' head coach Tom Tereschuk his 300th career head coaching victory – the first Chapman baseball coach in school history to reach that mark.
Weather and a city park closure forced the postponement of Game 1 of the three-game weekend series against the Thunder. And with Wheaton flying back to Illinois on Sunday, the Saturday's tripleheader became a reality. Archives are inconclusive whether this was the first tri-bill in Chapman history.
The three victories extend the Panthers' home winning streak to 13 games and No. 11-ranked Chapman (19-5) is now 18-1 in its past 19 games.
As for Tereschuk, the six-time West Region Coach of the Year reached the milestone 300 wins in just his ninth season at the helm of the Chapman baseball program. He has averaged over 35 wins per season and at 301-95 he has a career winning percentage of .760.
Those are some very impressive numbers by Tereschuk. Chapman is on a roll right now and they sure have rebounded from the rough start.

Against the NAIA maybe the #5 thru #10 pitchers will get some more innings. Chapman #5 thru #10 pitchers have ERA's of 1.50 and below. Amazing stat. Chapman will need more arms with their 4 game series against Linfield and always IF they make the playoffs you always need lots of arms.

By April 17th the picture will become clear if Chapman belongs in TOP 10 and if they are on they way back to the Regionals.
I figure they need to win the Claremont, Cal Lu games and split with Linfield and sweep Dallas and take 2/3 from Redlands to make it back to Regional. Even then that might not be enough since they are ONLY 2 Pool B spots and every In Region loss could be fatal and keep you out of playoffs this year. Losses to NAIA Pt. Loma and Cal State San Marcos will have no impact to the Pool B bid process. Those early season 1 run losses plagued by errors could come back to haught them.
Chapman may be set up nicely for a Pool C bid as well.

After 5-6 days rest and 7-9 days before the next games, won't the staffs need at least 3-4 innings of work in the Point Loma and Cal State San Marcos games? The coach might have a tighter pitch limit.
They will need SOME work, but I was implying that Chapman may not throw Rauh nine innings to secure a win. It is a great chance to get guys some work and set up their arms for the grueling post0season run.

Chapman is 2-4 over its last 6 games. Chapman will need to go 5 of 6 in my opinion to get either a Pool B/C bid playing 3 with UDallas and 3 with Redlands to end the regular season.

Chapman's SOS is already the best among Pool B teams. After playing Dallas and Redlands, it will only go higher. Therefore, 4 of 6 wins against each of these teams should do it.
Will be interesting to see if they can do that.
They seem to be no better than 50-50 against quality opponents when Rauh doesn't get the decision.

Chapman senior C Adam Kordich
ORANGE, Calif. – The No. 15-ranked Chapman University baseball team opened a crucial three-game series against fellow West Region independent University of Dallas with a pair of wins on Saturday afternoon at Hart Park. The Panthers got a 6-5 walk-off win in the first game thanks to an RBI single in the bottom of the 11th inning from junior IF Tyler Hadzinsky. Senior RHP Jordan Sigman capped the day with seven innings of four-hit ball in a 10-1 victory in game two.

Welcome ChapFan! Good luck and hope you make it to Abilene.
Chapman can punch their ticket for a trip to Abilene with 2 wins over Redlands. Less than 2 wins they need to hope the favored Pool A's dont lose in their conference tourneys to fall to a Pool C bid. Tight year for Pool B with only 2 bids

I agree. Winning the Redlands series gets them the Pool B bid.
I think that they might move to the #2 Ranking in the West with that series win, too.
I think unless they get swept, they're in. They will have, by far, the best SOS of contenders in the West and winning one game puts them at a .655 in-region win%. Getting swept and ending up with a .621 in-region win% is a little less safe, even with the great SOS.
**Even losing 2 out of 3 will put them in much better shape than UTT, who, by the time selection time comes around, I think will have the WORST SOS in the West. Not a good sign.**
Every year there is virtually the same discusion. The balance between W/L record and SOS. As an independent Chapman has done a very good job of "managing" their SOS. I can't imagine that joining the SCIAC will be good for their baseball program. It will be interesting, assuming they are accepted, what impact if any it will have on their ability to manage their SOS.
At the same time; you can see the impact in Texas which has a finite number of teams which effectively reduces a teams ability to manage their SOS. It is tough traveling 500 miles plus to build a good SOS resume.
This is the one element of D3 baseball that to me is flawed. Just an opinion. :-\

500 Miles? Yeah for those who do not live here, 500 miles barely gets you out of state, much less out of conference. (Abilene to Shreveport -- 371 miles.) But we love it anyway!

JohnnyU -
You are exactly right! Once you analyze the potential results of their weekend series with Redlands, and knowing that their SOS will increase regardless, Chapman will be in. Therefore, the only question left in the West is whether it will be HSU, UTT, McMurry, or Concordia filling the final two spots. Personally, I would like to see McMurry play in front of their home crowd.

Chapman plays a double header at Redlands on Saturday
What Rauh is doing is just unreal... and I think Chapman just locked up a Pool B bid.
I watched most of the Redlands/Chapman game today and was thoroughly impressed with both teams. The difference being a few errors by Redlands. Rauh was tough for all nine innings, probably his best nine inning effort all year, IMHO.
It should be noted that Redland's Johnson pitched a very good game, only 5 hits, and 1 RBI. The Bulldogs will be a team to contend with in the regionals, as will Chapman. Chapman seems to be maturing with each game played. Remember, they are young overall. The game was played in under 2 hours. I liked that, as my attention span is weak.

Chapman looked really strong today. Rauh and Johnson both pitched outstanding games. Both looked very good by pounding the strike zone with outstanding ball movement.
Rauh also set a new single season strike out record for Chapman.
A pitcher's duel between two of the top arms in the West Region saw Chapman ace Rauh toss a six-hit shutout – the first of his career – while striking out eight Bulldogs and retiring 20 of the final 22 batters he faced. Rauh improved to 10-0 this season and 21-0 in his career. Meanwhile, Redlands ace RHP Derek Johnson (12-2) allowed five hits and two unearned runs to suffer just his second loss of the year.

Four Panthers earn All-Region, Rauh named top pitcher
ORANGE, Calif. - For the second consecutive year, Chapman University sophomore RHP Brian Rauh has been named the NCAA Division III West Region Pitcher of the Year, headlining four Panther baseball players named to the All-West Region team by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA).
Senior C Adam Kordich was named to the ABCA All-West Region second team, while seniors IF Tyler Hadzinsky and RHP Jordan Sigman were each named to the third team.
Rauh was the West Region champs' lone first team representative, and deservedly so after posting an 11-0 record for the second year in a row. The sophomore led all of Division III with 133 strikeouts and ranked 13th in hits allowed per nine innings (5.7) and 27th in earned run average (1.74). He may have pitched his best baseball at the end of the year, tossing back-to-back shutouts against Redlands and Texas-Tyler in May as part of 23 consecutive scoreless innings.
Chapman's leader in home runs, RBI and on-base percentage, Kordich earned the honor for the first time in his career. The senior backstop and cleanup hitter was named to the second team after he slammed six home runs and drove in 38 while batting .303 this season. Additionally, he slugged .457 and led the Panthers with a .433 OBP. Yet he may have made his biggest impact on a young pitching staff in his first year as full-time catcher, helping the Panthers to a 2.96 team ERA and throwing out 22 basestealers.
Sigman earned All-Region honors for the second time in his career and leaves Chapman as the school's Division III career wins leader at 35-15 overall. The right-hander ranked second for the Panthers with an 8-3 record and 62 strikeouts in 91 2/3 innings. He also set a career-low with a 3.34 ERA and opponents batted just .257 against him in 2011.
Also earning regional honors for the first time in his career was Hadzinsky, who led the Chapman offense with a .331 average and 16 stolen bases. The three-time Academic All-District selection had nine doubles and 30 RBI for the Division III runner's up. As the pivot man in the Chapman infield, he second baseman turned 25 double plays and posted a .962 fielding percentage.

Consistant coaching is one of the keyes to the success of the program:
Tom T. has coached the last nine years.
Rex Peters was the previous coach for nine years then went on to UC Davis where he took the program from D2 to D1. He was the coach for the transition to D3 at Chapman.
Mike Weathers was the next previous coach, where he took the program to D1 (if that was what it was called back then. After Chapman he went to Long Beach State for 18 years (nine as head coach) before retiring last year.
