Congradulations to former St. Rita and IL Spark RHP/IF Tony Zych. Tony is a FR at Louisville. He started and got the Win in Louisville's Big East Tournament Championship game today. He also made the All Tournament Team.
Congratulations to Parkland JC, winner of the NJCAA Division II World Series. They went undefeated at Enid, OK.
They squeaked by Heartland with a walkoff in the bottom of 9th.
I think they "squeaked" by them 3 out of 4 this year baseballdad, either way congrats parkland players.
Just a note Nick Martini (prairie ridge) has gone 6-10 in his first 2 regional games for K-State as they are 2-0 in the regional beating xavier and also Rice last night.
They split in the regular season and won both playoff games in the bottom of the 9th. They obviously were the better team, but not dominant.
I had parkland winning on the april 11th 10-5 and april 21 8-7 and losing to heartland on the 11th of april 6-5. That would be Parkland winning 2 of 3 regular season. Then Parkland won on the 17 and 18th 4-3 and 7-4.
I really don't know who the "better" team is I was just saying who won the games and saying congrats to Parkland and it's players as winning their world series is a nice accomplishment.
I know players on both teams and both programs and coaches do a great job.

Congrats to CPLZ's son Kirk, for a great outing today as Army defeated BC to earn the right to play Texas for the regional championship.
How about Austin Wood throwing 169 pitches in 13+ innings one day after throwing another 30 as Texas defeated BC 3-2 in 25 innings? Sorry, just no justification for Augie to abuse a great pitcher and risk his future.

By throwing a kid 169 pitches, one would think the only future the coach thinks of is his own.
