This week's college diamond digs
|
- When it matters: This week will be full of important games – national playoffs for the Black Hawk softball team, conference tournaments for the St. Ambrose baseball and softball teams and Augie's softball team and some key regular-season games for Augie's baseball and softball teams that continue to push for a CCIW Tournaments berth. It should be a fun week, as long as Mother Nature cooperates. Two of those big games will be today when Augie's softball team finishes the regular-season vs. Millikin in a twinbill postponed by Sunday's rain. A sweep would get Augie into this weekend's CCIW Tournament. SAU's softballers also look to keep their MCC Tournament run alive on Tuesday in a pod championship postponed by Sunday's rain. SAU's Fighting Bee baseball team is the top-seed for the MCC Tournament that runs Tuesday through Friday in Peosta, Iowa. - This week's baseball games: Tuesday: Dubuque at Augustana,7 p.m.; Black Hawk at *Carl Sandburg, 2 p.m. (2x7). Thursday: Black Hawk at College of Lake County, 2 p.m. (2x7). Saturday: *Millikin at Augustana 1 p.m. (2); Kankakee at Black Hawk, Noon (2x7). Sunday: *Millikin at Augustana, noon. Tuesday-Friday: St. Ambrose at Midwest Collegiate Conference Tournament, Peosta, Iowa, TBA. - This week's softball games: Today: *Millikin at Augustana, 4 p.m. (DH) Tuesday: St. Ambrose at William Penn, 5 p.m. (MCC Tournament pod title game); Black Hawk in Region IV semifinals, TBA. Friday-Saturday: Black Hawk at Region IV Final Four, Freeport, TBA. - Just win, baby: St. Ambrose University junior transfer shortstop J Golden may have a hard time remembering what it's like to finish a regular season run without a conference baseball championship. He and his Fighting Bees teammates wrapped up the Midwest Collegiate Conference crown this past weekend. The two years before, he helped Coach Arnie Chavera's Black Hawk College to Arrowhead Conference titles. His senior year at Davenport Assumption, the Knights won the MAC championship. Quite a run, indeed. -- By Tom Johnston, tjohnston@qconline.com -- By Tom Johnston, tjohnston@qconline.com
