BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[DickWhitman]

These boards have been great for me. I'd love to see an increase in activity, especially the SCIAC board. The SCAC board is full of great info and conversation. Hopefully the SCIAC board gets there as well.

What happened to Chapman this year?  I'm shocked at their season. 

[DickWhitman]

Seems like graduation and losing some key players to free agency

[DickWhitman]

SCIAC all conference teams posted. A few snubs are a little surprising.

Redlands and PP playing what seems to be a play-in game for the NCAA tomorrow. CMS and LV face off in the winners bracket and should both in regardless of what happens from here.

What a game yesterday between ULV and CMS. Leopards used 9 arms in 11 innings and won on a walk off knock.

Pomona took care of business against Redlands. Redlands got their win in the play-in but can't feel too comfortable right now (though I haven't seen most up to date NPI).

Sixth Street Rivalry game today at ULV for the chance to play ULV. Hens and Stags 2-2 this year. So much riding on this game. Given how good these offenses are, how deep into their staffs each are, and the nature of this rivalry, I fully expect a 3-2 pitchers duel.

PP probably in with a win?

LOL, definitely a 3-2 type game!

I hope they'd be in, but you never know

Whew. Long, exhausting, exhilarating day of baseball. Scraped one out against CMS. Scraped one out against La Verne. Back tomorrow morning for all the marbles.

Go Hens.

[DickWhitman]

Gotta wonder if both teams throw their best they have left today to go for the win, or do you start resting guys to be ready for Friday?

[Ralph Turner]

All or none! Friday is 5 days rest!

[DickWhitman]

Tough to see Redlands get left out. It's easy to say, "well don't lose to Whittier", but Whittier would be much better in most other conferences. Even Chapman had a stud pitcher this year that shut some top offenses down.

Hate seeing PP and LV have to face each other in a regional. Either team could make it to the CWS.
