Game 21: Case Western Reserve vs. Heidelberg University
Yesterday: The Spartans were swept by scores of 14-7 and 7-2. However, they can take solace in the fact that I did even worse at my competitive endeavor yesterday. The offense highlighted Case’s effort, as Paul Pakan, Bobby Marko, and Andrew Frey all had great days at the plate. As for the other two facets [...]

The 2011 Spartans baseball team went 33-15, shattering school records and making their first-ever playoff appearance, and a big part of that was due to the offense. They finished third in all of Division III (367 teams) with 409 runs scored. I never felt like the Spartans were completely out of a game last year, [...]

Yesterday: The Spartans started the 2011 season off well, sweeping Averett University 8-7 and 8-2. As I mentioned yesterday on my Twitter feed (follow it, people!), the first game really should also have been 8-2, or at least 8-4 or 8-5. The Spartans had an 8-2 lead going into the seventh inning (as you may [...]

Let’s look at the players by position (stats in parentheses are (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage)): Catcher Senior Steve Bills (.327/.370/.473) returns [...]

So, this was a weird day both in terms of press box conditions and actual baseball. We got to Kent St. at about noon for a 2:00 game. After about 25 minutes of watching the Kent St. team finish batting practice, I checked my computer to see if any wireless Internet existed: negative. So I [...]

As a copy editor for The Observer, I report to the Observer office at 5:30, which today came roughly halfway through the game. I had the live stats up on my computer as I was reading statements from USG candidates. As soon as the magic words came up on the screen – “Gainey grounded into [...]

First, yesterday’s recap: the Spartans were cruising yesterday against Transylvania until the ninth inning. Some nuggets: They’ll have to stop giving up those five-run innings or else their record will be similar to last year’s. Freshman shortstop Matt Keen continued his hot start to the year, and is now hitting .524 (11-for-21) with 3 doubles, [...]
