COLLEGE BASEBALL CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT RESULTS FROM APRIL 30th

* SOUTHERN STATES ATHLETIC CONFERENCE *

PrintUPSET OF THE DAY – The SSAC’s 8th seeded AUBURN UNIVERSITY AT MONTGOMERY WARHAWKS (formerly the Senators) delivered the shock of the day yesterday. The Warhawks rose up and dragged down the conference’s top seeded FAULKNER UNIVERSITY EAGLES in an undeniable Instant Classic. The Eagles were leading 2-0 going into the top of the 8th Inning when the Warhawk bats came to life, seizing a 4-2 lead. Faulkner, the defending national champions of NAIA college baseball, pulled to 4-3 in their half of the Inning and AUM responded by adding another run in the top of the 9th. The Warhawks limited the Eagles to just 1 run themselves in the bottom of the Inning and nabbed a 5-4 victory! AUM’s P.J. Leto got the win!  

brewtonparkerTHEY HAD ‘EM ALL THE WAY! – With apologies to the late baseball broadcaster Bob Prince. The 2nd seeded BREWTON- PARKER COLLEGE BARONS well and truly had their First Round opponents – the 7th seeded UNIVERSITY OF MOBILE RAMS – all the way. A 2-0 lead after the 1st Inning became 3-0 after the 2nd, 4-0 after the 5th and 6-0 after the 6th! The Rams finally got on the board in the top of the 8th Inning with a pair of runs but the Barons added another run of their own to make it 7-2, which would hold up as the final score! For the Barons Mike Venturelli walked away with the win.   Continue reading →

WEDNESDAY NIGHT’S FEBRUARY FRENZY CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT ACTION

Two number seven seeds over two seeds, a number six over a three and a five over a four in last night’s action! And honorable mention goes to the Viterbo V-Hawks, an eight seed who gave the one seed nearly all they could handle in a valiant 69-66 loss. What my readers always care about are cool-named teams, so here we go – still alive – SAU Fighting Bees, Cal Maritime Keelhaulers, Jamestown Jimmies, Bethany Swedes, SDMT Hardrockers.   OUT –  V-Hawks, Comets, Blue Hawks, Cobras, Threshers, Moundbuilders and Spires.
