Alvernia moves for all sports in 2009-10.
Desales went 3-3 on their Texas trip. They are now 4-4 overall. Their wins in TX included a win over Trinity University TX, Wabash, and Shreiner University. Losses to Huston-Tilliston, Texas Lutheran and Concordia Austin

delaware valley is 10-1 in florida right now, a number of teams looking good early on so the mac should be quite competitive this season.
It's a beautiful day here on the east coast for the Aggies to start play in the ECAC South on the campus of DVC against Neumann at 3 p.m. Best luck Aggies!!! As DVC Sport's Info Director, Matt Levy, said - "it would be great for the team to win it the day before Del Val's graduation on Saturday. The Championship game will be played at Wilkes on Friday. Again Good Luck to the Aggies!
cant wait till the season starts! Go Bulldogs!

Little surprised DeSales is up that high considering what the team lost to graduation. Like I indicated in the preview, I think Manhattanville is the team to beat this year.

Well we will hopefully get to see these teams in action as soon as this week if the weather cooperates. DeSales is scheduled to play a DH Saturday against Catholic U in Washington and then a game Monday against Kean. ( of course with more snow and rain........ :()
Play ball!
Desales over Kean 2-1 in season opener . Crisp game for an opener with good pitching by both clubs
Any reason given why Keans 2B Moceri did not play? He is a great player to watch.
The outcome wasn't great, but Del Val now has live stats for most home games. Thanks, Matt!
Desales and FDU are both 8-1 right now. Desales is young but is always competitive. Their freshman pitcher Drinks is a very talented pitcher. He mixes up his stuff and keeps hitters off balance. They are pretty solid hitting throughout the lineup.
FDU is in my eyes the most talented team in this conference but as we all know that doesn't always mean success in the playoffs. They are stacked in their pitching staff and absolutley mash the ball. Their one all region outfielder last year isn't playing but I haven't heard why. I will assume an injury for the time being.
King's is another young team that has had several started go down to injuries, mainly their number 1 pitcher who is just starting to throw again and their DH from last year. They make a lot of errors but keep playing and have pulled out some wins. It will be interesting to see how they hold up against Montclair St on Sunday.
Wilkes has started off slow but is starting to hit the ball like normal. They put up 30 runs yesterday and finally looked like the team from last year. Don't count them out as they have shown over and over that they are a second half team. The pitchers seem to be settling into a grove as well after a very shaky start.
Misericordia may be a team that shakes up the playoff standings in the later part of the year but I don't know if they will be a big threat. Their number 1 pitcher is off the mound with an injury as well. With many promising young players I would expect for them to be a mid-top level team in the conference next year.
Manhattanville isn't having the year everyone expected to. Their pitchers are letting up way to many hits and runs. They have, from what i've seen, the best hitting team in this conference but you will never be successful when you have a team era of 11.6. There is still time to turn it around for them especially if other teams hit rough spots at the end.
Eastern is doing things no one expected. They are very young but never quit. It will be exciting to see how they play the rest of the year. If they stick together they can be a real surprise.
I have not seen Del Val play but I have not heard anything real good about them. Isgro is having an all american year at the plate but not so much on the mound. Expect them to take a game from each series but I don't know about much more than that.
If i had to make my prediciton for the four playoff teams I would say
1.)FDU
2.)DESALES
3.)KINGS
4.)WILKES
Heat, you are a welcome addition to this board!! The handful of Hopkins fans who participate are reasonably knowledgable about the Centennial Conference, but we don't get much good conversation about the other teams/conferences in the region. Thanks for your input.
Heat
Thanks for the nice insight on the teams in the Freedom. It is nice to get some background on the teams in the Freedom Conference!
Please keep posting your updates!
Thanks again
Seems like the top teams in this conference keep rolling while the bottom teams keep faltering. Desales smacked eastern today, FDU put up 6 runs against Misericordia's top pitcher, Who I saw throw and was lights out and King's beat Del Val.
Del Val out hit King's but made 3 errors which could have been the difference there. I was at the Misericordia-FDU game and FDU just flat out outplayed them. Desales didn't seem to have much of a problem with Eastern and Manhattanville may have gotten back on track against Wilkes.
Look for Del Val and King's to split tommorow, FDU to sweep misericordia, Desales to sweep eastern and Manhattanville and Wilkes to split.
After another weekend of games things are pretty similar to how they were. Manhattanville got on track and swept wilkes basically ending any shot they have of making playoffs. King's did the same to Deleware Valley. Misericordia and eastern took 1 game each from Desales and FDU.
I think my playoff predicitions are pretty on track with the exception of Manhattanville taking the place of Wilkes in the 4th spot. Manhattanville's last conference series against King's could have some big implications on them getting in or out of the conference tournament.
Thanks heat. And it also should be a good final series with DeSales and FDU
Absolutely, that will be for the number 1 seed that series. If FDU can't take at least 2 of 3 from King's in 2 weeks that may change a little. I think Desales has the easiest road left but we shall see what happens.
With King's, FDU and Desales all being young and showing they have talent I can see 2 of them making the regional tournament next year. Heck FDU may get one this year if they don't win the conference tourney if they keep up at their current pace.
Desales pounds Misericordia while eastern upsets FDU. Eastern and Manhattanville are really battling it out for that 4th playoff spot. With King's right in the top and a series with FDU still to play don't count them out for a 1 or 2 seed.
Freshman Drinks pitches another fine game today for Desales and is now 6-0
That kid is good. You see him get on the mound and don't think anything special is going to come out until he starts. He will be one of the better pitchers in the country if he stays on pace that he is now.
I have now seen all of the teams in the Freedom play twice. Desales should do very well in the tournament. FDU will let things go to their head with all of the horsecrap yelling that they do. Like any other year they will win a a game but don't expect much more than that. King's has a decent program that is either on or off. When they don't make errors they win games when they make errors they make a lot of them: 7 in one game against desales, 4 in 1 game against misericordia, 3 in one game against fdu, but I can see championship sunday being between Desales and King's with Desales coming out on top 8-3
As i dont see any live updates for the FDU-DeSales game today,if anyone will be attending I would be grateful for any game score updates! Thanks!
Congrats to the DeSales Bulldogs on their Freedom Regular Season Championship. For a team that wasn't even mentioned in the Mid Atlantic Freedom Conference Preview, they did pretty well!
Two exciting wins yesterday against FDU !
LordCharles..Is anyone going to give your Bulldog boys any competition this year :D....Did they bring in any transfers or quality young guys that you know? I see King's made a ton of errors in their first game but thats expected early on. Is this the year Eastern breaks into the conference playoffs and makes some noise? Guess we shall see!

i havent gotten a chance to see any practices but I do know they are pretty much intact from last year. And last year they had several freshman who now have had a year of college baseball and college workouts. They will have a real test out of the gate playing Kean next week and then down to Texas to play Trinity and a few other Tx squads. Trinity will have about 15 games under their belt while these guys are outside for the first full week of games! Trinity has a video feed so although I cant go to San Antonio this year I will watch that on video as well as the game this week with Kean which should have a video feed. Just happy to watch the snow melt and get started! Good luck to the Dogs and everyone else out here this season! Play Ball!
Welcome back to the boards since the long off-season!
We are finally getting some spring weather here in Texas. It hit 81 in Dallas today, and the wind was blowing straight in from right field at UTD.
MAC Pre-season poll has good things to say about Desales! Hope they are on the mark with the predictions!

Desales Bulldogs win opener in Texas vrs. TCU 5-2!!! David Drinks pitches a complete game for the win.

That is a split with Texas Lutheran, not Texas Christian.
Misericorida vs FDU-Florham in Game #6. If Misericordia wins there will be a Game #7.
On the D3 MAC Freedom standings, they list Arcadia as being in that division which i believe is in error .
Thanks
Hi everyone out there!
Any people from MAC Freedom - Mid Atlantic Conference?
New to this and new to D3- Baseball and new to East Coast Baseball :-)
Welcome aboard UAbaseball9,
Happy to see a new poster. The MAC Freedom can be found in the Mid Atlantic region, here:
http://www.d3boards.com/index.php?topic=5921.0
And welcome aboard again.
Thank you!
Any thoughts on predictions for the season?
Also - that message thread seems a little old - or did I get the right one? #macfreedom
Reviving this for our new poster.
I've "revived" it for you. Welcome!
Sorry UAbaseball9, I do not know much about the MAC. I follow teams closer to home. Usually the NCAC or the OAC. and little of the HCAC. My sons old college team OWU has played Arcadia, form the Common Wealth, and Miserocordia, in the Freedom, quite a few times during spring Break. However I do not have much more info than that. Desales and Misercordia are usually one and two in whatever order. I believe those will be the top two again.
Check out the D3 baseball preview for the Mid Atlantic. They have Miserocordia comming in first.

I really like that ballpark they play in. It's been about 14 years since I was last at Stevens, but I liked how everything was tucked in there on that campus.
Thank you - I appreciate it!
