How on earth did Loudonville hold CCC to 1 run in 7 innings? I could understand a fluke that results in a 6-5 win, but to hold a team to one run, evidently they have at least one solid pitcher.

I...

We have scheduled a replacement game with none other than Walsh Jesuit Monday. If we win today in the tourney, we have Canton Central Tuesday. Not sure why anyone in their right mind would think it...

Makes you wonder if the record would have been any different if the players just coached themselves...I mean they apparently have to run their own practices if they want to get work in on Saturdays.

What is JV record in OCC? Is it possible they have as many OCC wins as the varsity?

Team had 8:30 practice today (Saturday). Coaches don't show!!!!

7th place...ahead of only Mansfield Senior. Even the biggest critic of the program wouldn't have predicted this in March.

No game today, no practice....we have 3 rainouts we could make up. I wonder how many of the top area teams are off completely today.

Whatever momentum the team gets will be muted with 2 days off...

Hits,

There are probably as many opinions as to why as there are people on this board. Maybe Pat Shurmur will be a better coach somewhere else. Results matter. We were ranked #13 in d-III at the...

Hits...this is from the coach about a month ago in the Daily Record Preview:

It's been a long time since Orrville had a baseball team with as much talent, commitment and established success under...

Clear Fork 4 Orrville 0. Hits R Us....you're kidding right?

Clear Fork 2 Riders 0. That is a devastating loss. CF did not strike out a single RR hitter, but we could only muster 5 hits and no runs. The team looks shell shocked and this could be where things...

Riders preseason rank in DIII was 13 and we were thought to be a contender for the OCC, especially with West Holmes essentially losing Snyder for the season and later Baird to injuries. At mid-season...

Triway 9 Riders 1

I wouldn't bet on .500. 4 of the next 6 OCC games are against Lex and Wooster with a combined 1 loss in the OCC. if we drop another 4 or 5 games we could be in the neighborhood of a 6th place finish...

West Holmes and Orrville split this week, Which gives West Holmes 5 losses and Orrville 4 losses, so I have to imagine at this point Orrville, West Holmes, Senior and Clear Fork are all effectively...

I've heard Snyder has been pitching, but at this point WH is pretty much out of it. They would have to win all of the rest of their OCC games to even be close.

Hard to call a favorite right now. A...

OCC standings

1. Lex 5-0
2. Ashland 4-1
3. Wooster 4-1
4. Madison 3-2
5. Orrville 3-3
6. West Holmes 1-4
7. Senior 1-5
8. Clear Fork 0-5

Orrville split their games with Madison this week. Lost 2-1 Tuesday, won 4-0 last night. They are 3-3 in the OCC and current sit in 5th place behind Lex (5-0), Ashland (4-1), Wooster (4-1)and Madison...

The conference is very balanced this year. Not too many definite wins or losses.

No matter how you slice it and dice it, the team needs to go 11-3 to win it all. If we lose a 4th game, we won't win the conference this year outright. No team is dominant and you can't get swept by...

All we have to do is go 11-1 the rest of the way in the conference. Pressure? Nah!

Thoughts and predictions for the upcoming season?

A team that only had 2 wins and is our biggest rival smoked us. The score could have easily been 49-7, but Wooster didn't execute very well in the second half. We haven't been 1-9 since 1972.

Down 27-0 with 4 minutes left in the half. Wow. I'm at a loss for words.

That is correct, Barry and Mark Tillison were on those teams too. Mark had knee problems and never was able to reach his full potential. Zacharias was a starting LB and crashed his Trans Am and broke...
