BB: SCAC: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

McM's RHP Hunter Poe threw a complete game 5 hitter in the 2-1 victory over St Thomas yesterday.
Otherwise the McM pitching staff needs development.

Austin College with a big win in a competitive series at #25 TLU this weekend, right after TLU knocked off #1 Trinity. If AC can get more consistent pitching, their offense is good enough to potentially be disruptive in the new 6-team tournament format that's taking place this season.

The conference very balanced this. I will guess we may have 9 teams in contention fot making the playoffs with 2 weeks left.

With four weekends left, the SCAC is a real mess. The post-season tourney takes 4 teams and 10 of 11 teams are still in contention.

Texas Lutheran 14-4 19-7
Concordia (Texas) (CTX) 12-9 16-10
Hendrix (HX) 10-8 15-10
LeTourneau 10-8 13-15
McMurry 11-10 13-14
Schreiner 9-9 11-16
Austin 10-11 12-14
Centenary (La.) 8-10 13-15
St. Thomas (Texas) 9-12 10-18
University of Dallas 7-11 9-18
University of Ozarks 5-13 11-17

TLU has almost mathematically clinched.

CTX is 12-9 and hosts UOz, at TLU, at St Thomas

Hendrix is 10-8 and is at UD, hosts TLU, at LeTU and hosts AC
LeTU is 10-8 and is at St Thomas, hosts UD, hosts HX and is at Schreiner.

McMurry is 11-10 and then is at AC, hosts Centenary, and hosts Schreiner.

Schreiner is 9-9 and is at UOz, hosts AC, at McM and hosts LeTU

Austin Coll (AC) is 10-11. They host McM, host Schreiner and at HX

Centenary LA is 8-10. at TLU, at McMurry, host St Thomas and hosts UOz

St Thomas is 9-12. They host LeTU, at Centenary and host CTX.

UDallas is 7-11. They host Hx, at LeTU, at UOz, and host TLU.

St Thomas made the 2025 SCAC Tourney with 17-13 and the tie-breaker over TLU (also 17-13).

Just FYI: this year the tournament is going to feature 6 teams. I believe it'll revert back to 4 next year, but this season it'll be the top 6.

I have just kept "one eye" on D3 baseball since my son's graduation, but I think this is the first time that I can remember not seeing Trinity in the top 25 over the past 15 years. I do like that Trinity is "back" in the the SAA, which is a former subset of the SCC, and will get to play a wider group of teams.

What's wild is that Trinity was ranked #1 only a few weeks ago. I saw the latest poll and was stunned that they're not in it at all at this point. (I haven't paid attention to their schedule so I didn't notice them losing a bunch or anything; just noticed the incredibly rapid fall from #1 to no longer ranked.)
