BB: Regionals (West) 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011

[Ron Boerger]

Klimesh in, gives up a single to Evenson.   Strikes out Smith.   Walks Wilson on four pitches.   Hits Bixenman.

Lordy the wheels have come off for Ben.   Walden to the mound.   Gets the final out. 

[Ron Boerger]

Two outs on three pitches to start the inning.   Francke HBP, Iacovella singles.

Great job 'Cats!  No idea if we have any arms left but damn proud of them battling after dropping the 1st game of the regional.

[CAT BAT 22]

Larson comes up huge... after throwing 120+ pitches just two days ago comes in to shut down Trinity in the final 3IP today. Very hard to do ... great win.  Wonder who will start tomorrow?  

[D O.C.]

Losers bracket is too nerve wracking to be enjoyable.

[Ron Boerger]

congrats, 'cats .... 12 baserunners stranded, mumble mumble mumble

On 2 errors and stealing home, Chapman takes a 1-0 lead in the first.

Scott Weinschenk is starting for Concordia with a 6.61 ERA with opponents hitting .338 against him in 16 1/3 IP on the year. Id definitely say Chapman has an advantage in this one.

They've shown they'll bring guys back so I wouldn't be surprised to see Manley or Hilberg out of the bullpen, but I think they might start Mueller (if he's healthy - looks like he hasn't thrown in awhile). From the looks of things he struggles a bit with command and has been prone to give up the big inning, but opponents are only hitting .218 against him.

Not having Vaughn really hurts in this tournament format.

If you're Tereschuk it's probably tempting to tell Maietta to go sit down and wait for Linfield tomorrow, but you have to presume he'd bring Rauh back if they lost the first game anyway. They've never been shy about running their #1 back out there on short rest or throwing Yacko til he borderline refuses to take the mound (Trinity '08).

Wow...CTX is just killing themselves on the basepaths.

In 2008 Yacko had 25 appearances on the mound for Chapman. In 2007 Yacko had 24 appearances and Drag had 22 appearances 14 as a starter and 8 in relief 119 IP

You can do that in as long a season as they play. Not really as crazy as it looks.

There's 5 hits in the entire game. Also 5 errors.

[CrashDavisD3]

Chapman 9 CTX 3...

Rematch for Chapman vs Linfield 5th time this year....Linfield 3-1 this year over Chapman

I would expect to see Rauh in one of the games on Saturday.

[ChapFan]

I guarantee that you will see Rauh tomorrow!
