MSL Conference

Two pitchers definately will get you through the MSL and a good way through the playoffs. The only other thing necessary is one good reliever.

Does anyone know the score of the P-tine Meadows game ?

2-0 meadows win in the 7th.

Elk Grove beat Conant 5-2 in 8 innings..Pat Guido hit a grand slam in the 8th and Ryan Copeland went the distance..does anyone know how prospect did vs. hoffman estates or hersey vs. fremd? BG vs. Barington?

BG 7 barrington 4

fastballdad..did chapman pitch for barrington?

yes Chapman pitched......he is getting a bit tired I think. Not that sharp his last few times out, but again bad defense by barrington didn't help.

I've always been impressed with Barrington's defense and preparation. What is happening with them this year? They should be running away with things based upon the talent that they have. Is this like Hersey last year?

A few things have hurt Barrington. A couple of players either couldn't play (injury)or didn't want to play this year. Add to that an injury to a starter (Schell) and a few other personel issues there have been some holes. A couple of the stronger players are pressing a bit to make up for it and it has effected their games as well.

The plus side is that some younger players are getting in the mix and have done well. Look for Barrington to have a good second half of conference play.

well the good news is all the west teams besides palatine have been getting smoked by the east teams so Barrington still has a shot to win that thing in the West..the east is up for grabs

Elk Grove 6
Fremd 1

Any other scores from the MSL crossovers today?

Barrington 3 Wheeling 1

Does anyone know how they are going to do the play-in games this year? I copied seedings from other forum, but no info on the bracketing.

Schaumburg Sectional
1.Elk Grove
2.Maine South
3.Prospect
4.Rolling Meadows
5.Palatine
6.Hoffman Estates
7.Maine West
8.Buffalo Grove
9.Hersey
10.Bartlett
11.Conant
12.Lake Park
13.Fremd
14.Schaumburg
15.Wheeling
16.Glenbrook North
17.St.Viator
18.Maine East

Would (15 play 18) & (16 v 17)? or would they do a blind draw? After that, it has to be 1 v 16, 2 v 15, etc., right? Thus, 1 v. winner of (16 v. 17) & (8 v. 9) in the EGV Regional? (I've got a headache, now)

I don't think it is a straight 1 vs 16, etc. It get messed up by who is hosting regionals and maybe even geography.

I remember last year Prospect was number 1 and they had to play like Maine West last year who was a number 9 seed so that kinda sucks for the number 1 seed...why even have any seeds if you're going to do that?

Just to clarify....Glenbrook north is not in our sectional.....its glenBARD north that is in it....just in case anyone was wondering

I agree Gren. I just visited the IHSA site, and the brackets aren't posted. Any one know if there is a formula somewhere, or is it determined by another coaches meeting?

I guess Coaches don't care about the seeding in OTHER team sports, but in Baseball & softball, it is not to be overlooked. 1 dominant pitcher can really carry a team and upsets are more probable. I'd hate to face GBN (Altbach) if it weren't determined by the seeding formula. I'm glad it was pointed out, they aren't in our Sectional.

There will be 2 of the top 8 seeds in each regional. The remaining teams are placed by the IHSA based on their location to the schools that are hosting the regionals.

Look at the seedings topic. Suburban fan has a link to the 2006 pairings.

Look for an exciting last day of MSL crossover games.

Elk Grove 7
Hoffman Estates 2


any other scores from the MSL today??how did barrington do fastballdad against good ole meadows?

Barrington 12 Rolling Meadows 10

Nice job EG!

FB..tell Adam and Chap that I said thanks, haha.

will do!

Wheeling 2 - Prospect 1 S. Treutler WP complete game.

P-Ville 4 Barrington 3.

Hersey-2
Elk Grove-3

Elk Grove 5
Prospect 0

If games keep getting rained out and canceled, would the MSL championship possibly take place after regionals?

Does anybody have the results on the conant, barrington game today? thanks

Yo Dev nice hit off me (2nd pitcher Hoffman). U took that first curve then i thought i'd mix in a lil side arm but couldn't get it over. Ne way good luck the rest of the way man

Conant 3 Barrington 1 9 innings. It was a scoreless tie through 6 innings.

Elk Grove 6
Rolling Meadows 2

Elk Grove wins the MSL East

Did Conant win against Palatine?

palatine won 8-0

Mid-Suburban title game:

Elk Grove 3, Palatine 2 (8 innings)

Great HS baseball game. Pat Guido, who was robbed of a HR in the 2nd inning by Butch Biela (one of the best catches I've ever seen in a HS game), hit the game-winning HR in the top of the eighth.

Ryan Copeland (10-0) K'd 12, walked none, allowed four hits in eight innings.

Well-played game on both sides.

so who are all the MSL teams playing in the regionals? any MSL matchups in the first round? elk grove plays the winner of the wheeling/maine east game.
