Games 18-19: Case Western Reserve at Mount Aloysius College
Yesterday: As I had said in yesterday’s post, the defense was shoddy, and that may have cost game 1, but Jamie Hora didn’t let that stop him in game 2, throwing a two-hit shutout. Still, the Spartans can’t afford to split many doubleheaders like these if they’re to make the postseason. Today: Spartans (11-6) at [...]

So Emory won the UAA championship in walkoff fashion. The UAA is so competitive now that, really, that’s the only way the championship could have been decided. Now the Spartans move on to the Ohio portion of their schedule. The main games to watch out for are the three games against (1) Heidelberg and the [...]

Today’s first game was relatively close until the ninth, with the main difference being Chad Mullins’ fifth homer of the year, a three-run shot in the third. The Spartans scored seven runs in the ninth, with 12 batters in the inning. Every single starter had at least one hit, led by Mullins (who reached in [...]

Yesterday: The Spartans won another must-win game, 3-2 against Rochester. Matt Keen and Jackson Stone were the only ones with outstanding offensive days, each reaching base three times in five plate appearances. The pitching was outstanding, save for the fifth and eighth innings. Freshman John Fortunato rebounded from an awful start last time out to [...]

Yesterday: The Spartans won a game they had to win, 8-7 against Emory. Matt Keen and Sam Alexander each had three hits. Ray Kelly got the win, though once again, I think he was left out an inning too long. He gave up two runs through five, then four in the sixth. The three pitchers: [...]

Sorry for the late game thread. I’ve been really busy this week. I may also finally figure what went wrong with posting the UAA Championship preview. Yesterday: The Spartans lost a heartbreaker to Rochester, 9-8. The name of the game was walks: 10 walks for Case pitchers, 6 walks for Rochester pitchers. Two walks and [...]

Since I’m away from my computer, here’s a game thread so you can keep track (or maybe even comment) on tonight’s UAA opener. Game starts at 7:00. Live stats are here: I don’t know what happened to the UAA championship preview. I’ll look into it when I get home. I will chime in with updates [...]

I’m really sure what to put in this particular recap. The box score says it all. The Spartans were amazing offensively against almost everyone the Eagles put on the mound, and it allowed other players on both teams to get work in. I’ll probably just default to my usual list-based short nugget presentation. The biggest [...]

Last Weekend: The Spartans finished 2-2 in Chillicothe. On Sunday, they split a high-scoring doubleheader with Wabash that highlighted Case’s strengths and weaknesses. No lead is safe, no matter which team’s batting. The good news for the Spartans is that they really can say to pitchers “Just keep us in the game.” A good offense [...]
