scolan Frank cway Hopper th Peyton McVey and Frasier same starting nine on the lineup card for head coach John Boden lych on the hill they will face an All-American pitcher in right-hander Connor marinac well you’ve called him the D3 version of Otani he’s a starting short stop when he’s not pitching and he’s a good one hits over or his the leader in RBI in home runs on the mound he’s not too shabby either 10 and three on the year with a 221 earned run average as you can see in his 15th appearance his 13th start 77 in a third Innings pitched he’s allowed 73 hits 19 earn runs he’s walked 17 struck out 74 opponents hit 248 against this junior from ring Pennsylvania and uh in the tournament defense some tweaks it’s cumins Regan Mel Henny in the Outfield then Van Horn who’s been Hing is now at third base cordner moves from third to short bun at second San fopo at first and Ballinger is the catcher had to find a way to keep Van Horn in that lineup because Connor will hit for himself in the pitcher spot we are set to go with Aaron Holland leading it off for Wisconsin Whitewater missing ball one com had a big game to start things off and running with a home run then went two for six with three RBI in the earlier [Applause] game slice foul marinac first battle here see Mar’s got the war paint [Applause] on Roger Clemens was a big eye black guy when he pitched wanted to have that intimidating look on the [Applause] hill 3-2 again Chopper Fair ball van Horn’s first chance and he handles it Andrew is a backup in Fielder again he has been the DH throughout this tournament when he’s been in there but now playing third one away for Skol and the left fielder who had a huge game earlier today well there’s no hotter hitter in the tournament than Matt Skol in the junior left fielder four for five scored two runs drove in six hit his 18th home run of the season in that game want to know to the first team All-American who’s played play like it here in Ohio almost nipped him there one and one going 14 for 30 has scored 10 runs and driven in 14 runs with three home runs here in Iowa or in Ohio we’re not in Iowa anymore but no last year yeah we’re in East Lake Ohio about 20 minutes from downtown Cleveland at the home of the Lake County Captains the Cleveland Guardians Midwest League affiliate two and two shout out to Hannah haverson and Ally Wilson from the American Rivers conference in Iowa we know they’re di then they were our gracious hosts last year con goes full on scolan bar not 3-2 strike three called nip the outside corner and rung up the hot hitting stolen two away arak averag is about a strike out an inning he locked up skolen right there and he’s got to feel good about that but you get past scolan and then you get Frank who’s the leading inner average wise on the club at 421 scolin was at 410 this these guys are a pretty good one-w punch at the top of the order speaking of punch Eli Frank here are elies two home runs in the tournament big one here the other night big celebration and then earlier today big golf swing out to the bman left Center first home run brought Whitewater from a five-run deficit against Birmingham Southern and then the eliminated the Cinderella of the tournament with a walkoff the next inning by Sam Pyon got him what a start for Connor marinac three up three down two KS bottom one cougar swing the sticks when we [Applause] [Music] return starting lineup for the Cougars and head coach Pete Eggbert meleny Regan Ballinger Marin the pitcher stays there in the cleanup spot then cumins San Filippo Van Horn now at third bun at second corner at Short they will face from Whitewater the Lefty Kade Barren he’s a junior been all wi I the last two years Baron a senior out of germant toown Wisconsin suburb of Milwaukee there you see his numbers on the year in the tournament Baron appearing for the third time his third start he’s got a win in 11 Innings he’s allowed nine hits four in runs he’s walked five and struck out 10 getting the start here in game 17 of a possible 17 game tournament yep we’re going to play them all meleny leads it off strike one to the pesky leadoff man for the [Applause] Cougars Tad upstairs one and one bar started opening night through seven Innings against Randol mon six hits picked up the win an 113 win came back to pitch against salv Regina went four Innings allowed three hits and two runs Monday just not involved in the decision which ended up being a 74 Whitewater win behind three and one M ly takes a strike count as full taper foul to stay [Applause] alive Molen is the guy that makes this offense go for Miss ricordia he’s an exciting player he also does that he gets hit that one’s stung most of the time mhen is able to just absorb it and go down to First and say yeah but that one is going to nip a little bit see where he got hit oh right above the right above the elbow on the shoulder between the elbow and shoulder and we’re going to barely get a review we will Jen Vonage asked for review that he purposely got hit and the Umpire well that pitch is inside yeah but the Umpire Mo and again so where just reading signals the Umpire motioned about where he was hit maybe it’s a guess and he was in the strike zone yeah well certainly M crowds the point when you’ve been hit 30 times in a season as he now has you’re going to be up tight on the plate it’s among the national leaders and hit batsman as a team this club is among the national leaders and hits batsman they’ve had uh 143 times they’ve been hit by pitches this year that would have been 144 if this play holds up following the review each coach gets two reviews to challenge plays through the first seven Innings when we get to the eighth inning and on the Umpire and crew can look at plays on their own discretion so this would be a Whitewater challenge if they win the challenge then they keep [Applause] it and here here comes the decision Whitewater review a hit batsman hit batsman Keith Peterson is the home plate umpire Russ is Burton at second JB Torres at third and Justin bir’s down the line in left and Brett kler is down the r line in right he’s the crew chief he was involved and the review along with the point onire so Jack Ragan now with his team te made at first base tries to drop on the bunt and if you’re just joining us after 17 days or games in this tournament mordia plays small ball they are big time Advocates you’ve seen they get on base a lot to the hit batsman they also steal a lot of bases they bun them over they are old school they get hit by pitches for sure and because of all that that bill explained Danny Hopper the third baseman who has seen this a few times already is Weighing on the grass at third base Regan gets it down Barren will field and toss the first sacrifice complete by Oregan that’s his fifth sacrifice bunt of the tournament so there’s meel heny at second now for Ballinger the catcher [Applause] Binger is one of the Run producers 51 RBIs in the year he’s one of their extra based threats as [Applause] well outside one and0 Brocks 353 hitter 18 doubles three triples four homers to go with his 51 [Applause] [Music] RBIs Baron fouled off by the catcher defense for the warhawks is scolan McVey and Peyton left to right in the Outfield Hopper Frasier th and Frank on the infield and the Freshman catcher Holland behind the plate for the Lefty baren one and one to Ballinger make it two and one Ballinger 9 for 26 in the tournament went two for three earlier today he has swung a hot bat here in Ohio [Applause] wraps it fair ball down to the left field Corner Mel Henning will score and Ballinger delivers an RBI double one nothing cougars first time in this three- game series that mordia jumps out to the lead thanks to Bower who turns and hooks this one down in the the corner 320 Down the Line in [Applause] Left going to do nothing but Chase it down it’s a double for Ballinger Misericordia has the lead and now Conor marinak the [Applause] [Music] pitcher Barrett delivers a ball bar 3 52 hitter leads the team in RB with 70 home runs with 13 while he’s an All-American he can both pitch and hit and play in the field way out of the zone two [Applause] [Music] and0 we’re not getting but 200 in the tournament though just 5 for 25 without with this one extra base H three [Applause] and0 that Cougar’s Dugout they were quieted for most of the first game because Whitewater jumped up to such a big lead 12 to one at one point they’re making racket here strike three and one [Music] [Applause] and Barren walked him marinac aboard with a free pass two men on with only one out for cumins the left [Applause] [Music] fielder Here Comes John banch the chap with his Lefty yeah there’s no action in the bullpen this is just to settle him down Barron is been a busy boy in the postseason told you he’s pitched twice here he also beat lacrosse with a complete game three hit shut out in the Super Regional the game they had a win was an elimination game after lacrosse won the opener 3-2 of that series and Barrett throws the shut out and Jack Hagen got the win in the clinching game that’s super original was in Whitewater but Baron struggling out of the gate here that was kind of like Dad talking to his sons out there on that conference with v Lynch cumins a 366 hitter for Homer 47 RBIs in a big spot here trying to add to their early lead first in second and one away cins was three for five in the earlier game with two rubies smacks it to right for a basee hit stop sign goes up throw came in good call there by Pete Eggbert down the line but the bases are loaded for the Cougars Pete is shown he’s pretty conservative the way coaches third it’s a well hit ball to right and Peyton does a nice job at charging and getting this ball in so they hold up the runner Ballinger at third second hit of the inning from is ricordia and now Jason San Filippo licking his chops here big opportunity in the first ball one San Filippo 7 for 21 that’s good for 333 in the tournament has three RBI excuse me five RBIs on the year he’s a 309 hitter delivers here a run in and the bases will stay loaded it’s two nothing Misericordia and again more Station to Station baseball as San Filippo finds a fast ball he likes and sends it into left field against scolan does a nice job getting in and makes a accurate throw to the pl so it was wise for Eggbert to hold up the runner he did his team has a two nothing Le and the base is still loaded with one out Jack Hagen runs down the Whitewater Bullpen to get loose Andrew Van Horn ball one upstairs Van Horton’s been the hottest hitter in the tournament for Mis Cordia coming into today he’s nine for 19 up in the air shallow left Frasier giving Chase and Frasier makes the catch turns and gets it in quickly two away that’s a big out for Baron but he wins the Lefty un Lefty matchup and now it’ll take a two out hit by m to make this a big inning the wind will be a factor this game it is goinging very very hard out to right left to right like we haven’t seen over the first five days of this tournament but it’s ping today this morning’s game it was humid and barely any win but it’s howand right now bun swings away big cuts and impacted a couple of the five home runs in the first [Applause] game inside evens the count at one and one [Applause] [Music] F five for 18 in the tournament who’s driven in a run pokes it to right peyon giving Chase near the bullpen and it drops in Fair this will clear the bases my goodness cougs exploding here in the bottom of the first big big two OD hit by bun he goes the other way and I think p no ver runs this he certainly misjudged it and the ball goes over his head the win might have been a factor there but the bottom line is it’s a basis clearing three-run triple and M corne has a five run first and they’re not done [Applause] yet that cougar Dugout was crazy go nuts home playay umpire Keith Peterson had to say okay settle down boys but they’re riding the Mojo train right now with a five Burger catcher Holland out at the behest of The Dugout to give Hagen more time to get loose in the [Applause] bullpen and Hagen’s normally a starter he was up and throwing pitch the last inning last game yeah and then came in and threw an inning and gave up two hits three or three hits and two runs but that was an hour ago cordner will be the hitter so all nine Cougars going to get an AB here in the first and here comes John binch and here comes the change Barron will not finish the first inning for Whitewater we will step aside in East Lake and reset things in the bottom of the first [Applause] [Music] [Applause] inning a familiar face for Wisconsin Whitewater unfortunately for Warhawk faithful we just saw Jack Hagen pitch the last inning of the first game today hgen came in to really put out the fire he got up it was 12 to one a one point M Cordy end up getting the tying run to the plate in the eighth inning of that game then against Logan eisenbarth he retired the side but Hagen was hot in the bullpen White Water end up with four Insurance runs to make it a 168 margin but since Hagen was warm they brought him in he gave up two runs and three hits in that game which finished a about an hour ago and now Hagen on for the fourth time in the tournament he had two starts earlier catch nine innings in those two starts so out 11 hits and seven runs but Hagen here will be asked to get the third out and then give him some Innings on the year Jack’s 9 and0 this is his 16th appearance he’s got two complete games as a starter get into the day with a 3.13 erra he will pitch to Owen hardner Runner out at second with two away for the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Cougars goes after the first pitch and delivers cordner RBI double and all nine cougars have done damage here in the bottom of the first they lead it six love this recording recorded 17 singles in the first game they’ve got and one double they’ got three doubles here in the first inning and it’s 6 nothing and here’s Meeny who started all of it by getting hit on the arm if you can remember back that far [Applause] [Music] he’s got a hit cner going to score melhan he on his way to second with an RBI double it’s a first inning TouchDown for Misericordia and mein he kicks the extra point by hitting the Gap he was thinking double out of the box the way he runs scolan doesn’t have a chance to throw him out what start by the Cougars but remember Whitewater averages 10 runs a game so don’t go running away from your computer nope Jack Regan for the second time he was the first out of this inning but only because he [Applause] [Music] sacrificed takes a strike on the inside we talk about white waters offense and they’ve scored 25 runs in two games mordia in this series now has put up 29 [Applause] runs chest [Applause] foul Crow let out a big gasp from The Miser Cordia side and now they’re chanting let’s go Jack Hagen o and two to Regan he stays alive and that got a piece of Jack dogs are [Music] [Applause] parking is a 278 hitter he plays the heck out of center field though and they want to keep him in the game to be sure but he’s hurting yeah got it got the heel a foul tip sometimes you can shake those those off but that one got him [Music] flush it’s in the inep isn’t that yeah it is see right in that that ankle area training staff working on him trying to get the the feeling pack and he’s such a valuable member defensively here it is again have inside inep right away he he walked out thinking he was going to shake it off and then he just kept hobbling and hobbling and I think he’s convinced the training staff he’s okay with that Sprint down the line needed that get the blood flowing again yeah Pete Eggbert’s going to buy him some more time here giving him a pep talk for all the times these guys get hit by a pitch none of them were body arm none of them he doesn’t have the protection for his InStep of shin guards that you see so often the guys that do it on a regular basis that know they do it on a regular basis they’ll bring that clunky plastic up back in their 02 [Applause] see meleny dancing there behind second one and two Cougar’s changed their uniform tops you see you notice that from from game two game one earlier today first game yeah it fell behind 12 to one burn the first ones there goes meleny throw down is ball got away from Hopper clean throwing catch might have got him the early deficit rounded the mordia running game in game [Music] one they only stole or they did not steal a base meline he now 35 of 39 with steals this year that’s her 159th stolen Bas oh my goodness notot of pain in that at bat for number one Hagen hit him after the foul tip and Hagen’s arguing his case and he’ll lose that 21st time this year Regan has been hit by a pitch second only to M mine he’s 30 so these guys are used to the pain and taking one for the team and be alert to reanier running Bon going to come out and think talk that well I think he wants to use at the Umpire more than talk to Hagen yeah he is he’s giving him a piece of his [Applause] mind and that’ll be it for Hagen so Hagen came on trying to get the last out of the inning he can’t get the job done we’ll step aside one more time here in East Lake [Applause] [Applause] this is Max hugho this is the third pitcher used by Wisconsin Whitewater in the first inning gotten to no Max HBO though this is his fifth appearance in the tournament one and one in the tournament with a 482 in run average he’s thrown nine in the third Innings allowed 12 hits five earned runs on the year HED B on for the 16th time his 12th or his fourth out the fifth out of the bullpen he’s six and three with a 485 ear in run average thrown 59 in the third Innings allowed 65 hits 32 ear in runs he’s walked seven struck out 59 and somebody’s got to give Whitewater some Innings I guess somebody’s got to get the third out of the first inning but M A ricordia up there with Ballinger again one of their top run producers with Runners on the corners and be alive for regier to steal a base he’s the Ballinger was the first run produc in this inning RBI double to get the party started Runner goes from first and howand didn’t get a clean grab so easy picking for Regan 2 ace stolen base for [Music] [Applause] Regan and again when you’re up seven you can run and run run as much as you want until they stop [Applause] you and that’s what m Cordy likes to [Applause] do a strike one and one Baron started the inning only got two outs Hagen came in trying to get the last out couldn’t hugho is one and two and trying to leave second and third stranded for miser cordio Ballinger lifts it left Center caught by McVey mordia great start here in our Championship tilt seven runs on six hits [Music] [Applause] Whitewater head coach John bodelly two titles for Whitewater in baseball going to have to mount the comeback here to get number three and and there’s a start perhaps Adam kway with a base hit to left as Bill said this team can hit and they’ve done it all season long so even down 7 nothing all hope is not lost for the warhawks here’s Danny Hopper the third baseman CO’s first hit of the day he took the counter in the after or the earlier game [Music] ball one from Conor marinak who went one two three in the top of the [Applause] first comebacker flag by bun shovel toss to Second out there they won’t get the run at first but what a play by bun yeah that was ticketed for center field bun extends makes a play on a well hit ball by Hopper they get the force and second at koay TI your hat to run on an outstanding [Applause] [Music] play so kway erased on the fine play hoppers at first with one away for Andy th the second baseman who had two home runs in the game earlier went four for four in that game scored four [Applause] times fouled back it out of play least 9 for 29 in the tournament just scored six

[Music] [Applause] wascon off the end of the bat right to Frasier at short and they’re are two away so Hughes ball trying to have a much quieter second inning here after that seven run first here San Filippo who delivered an RBI [Applause] single strike one [Music] [Applause] [Music] make it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] two an experienced misera Cordia Squad they were in this event a year ago and Cedar Rapids most of this lineup was a part of that lot of Juniors and seniors Ben Horn’s a freshman and so is Owen cordner but the rest of them are all tournament tested battle [Applause] tested scoots out of the way two and two [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and HBO hits San Filippo third hit batsman in this game 143 hit Bas and cting Andrew Van Horn sorry I didn’t throw in the numers from the first game 146 hit bats yeah don’t short Change no well they averaged three a game and they had three this morning and now they’re three they’re on average here even though we’re in the second inning badge of honor with these cougars strike one to Van Horn badge of honor that I don’t care if you like getting hit at still leaves a [Applause] mark strike two certainly helps you’re on base percentage they have 2117 walks and now 146 hit batsman that’s not of free passing oh [Applause] man grounded to th out of the inning no damage done this time by MRA Cordia but after two their lead is seven to [Applause] [Music] [Applause] nothing top of three another opportunity for Whitewater to chip away at the seven nothing deficit they’ll begin with McVey the number eight hitter then Frasier in top of the order of [Music] Holland D’s a freshman outfielder nicel looking player great speed covers a lot of ground has fans in the stands has A’s [Music] hit lead off man aboard for the Haw brings up Frasier the shortstop one for four this [Music] [Applause] [Music] morning inside on the first pitch from Marin Fraser two for three in the earlier game with an RBI 7 for 25 in the College World [Applause] Series two and one now to Frasier [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] v mcbo he’s over there boy you’re going to try to steal a base you better make it when you’re down seven runs [Applause] mhm pumping ball to short handled by cordner out at second and don’t get the double play this time as it pulled s Filippo off the [Applause] back so there’s one away back to the top of the order and the catcher Holland Aaron crowned out in the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] first in our first game between these two great start for Whitewater and a kind of a old of things to come on the ground handled by Van Horn and he throws his glove and the ball the second base are you [Applause] kidding often see a pitcher do that throw over to First not often but occasionally you’ll see it here vanor takes the chopper momentum’s carrying that way can’t get the ball out his glove so he throws both the ball and the glove to the second base bun to get the force you heard the expression through the wickets well it didn’t go through the wickets it got stuck in the wickets two away and scolan will be the hitter [Applause] marinac struck out scolan in the first [Applause] inning to left cumins makes the catch middle of three here in East Lake Ohio Miser Cordia leads it seven to nothing [Applause] [Music] happiness on The Miser cordi M cord side of the the Bal Diamond after a great start by their guys with a seven spot in the first inning in 11 guys to played bang out six hits and stunned to the warhawks with seven runs 12 guys went the too many for my counting bth is hard Bill well they went through three pitchers so yeah that was the number that stuck out the most here’s Gabe bun bun had probably the biggest blow in that inning bill that that little poke into the right field Corner that Peyton kind of overran and it dropped in Fair and cleared the bases yeah that turned turned it into a big inning really and also KO Kate [Music] [Applause] Barren 21 and bun with a another base hit he was quiet in the first few games right offensively and bat starting to come alive here the last hand couple of games in this series he’s come alive yeah he had three hits in game one and a hit this morning got two hits this [Music] [Applause] afternoon that big double in the first now a single leadoff single here in the third for C he’s six for eight against Whitewater pitching Holland had no chance because he lost it in the sun had to flip all the gear off and then with the gear off he’s shielding his eyes trying to pick up the baseball it is directly overhead the sun is directly overhead Home Plate at the moment so cordner gets another chance and I think he’s going to once again bun Hopper does too he’s in on the [Music] [Applause] grass squares gets it down this time and it’s a [Applause] beauty with a toss to First sacrifice complete bun to Second here with one away that’s his fifth sacrifice butt of the College World Series and again that’s what M record [Music] does and now meleny third inning third AB hit by a pitch in the first doubled also in the [Applause] first strike one to Garrett and let’s give a lot of credit to Pete Edgar their coach he’s coaches this style and old school small ball you don’t see it practi in the big legings anymore but he has got this down you’re going to play for him you’re going to learn how to bunt you’re going to learn how to steal bases you’re going to learn how to throw to the right base I mean it just doesn’t happen he’s schooled in that there’s Pete in his 22nd year overall is 17th in mordia he’s one over 600 now 63 n games in his [Applause] career one and two to [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] meleny pokes at the short and Frasier can’t come up with it it’ll be an E6 making it 8 to nothing I think bun cut in front of him and distracted himself when the ball got to the short stop he lost track of the ball but it’s nonetheless an error no RBI but Mis Cordy will take the eth run of the game and Pad their lead and now Jack Regan with one out he might be bunting here or they might put the hit and run on and M might steal a base that’s what the Cougars do yeah pick pick your poison right takes a [Applause] strike out of the MC Freedom conference here the Champs all the way from Dallas Pennsylvania here I I haven’t seen the mascot today though Archie mcra is here for game one of the series [Music] [Applause] disappointing Mel heny bluffed took some Stutter Steps over there ahead of Regan 0 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and2 HBO [Music] covering the plate Jack fouls it [Music] off Archie was here he was a couple days ago in the night game on on Tuesday why would you stick around with a national championship on the [Music] [Applause] line that maybe that scheduling snapo yesterday messed him up although everybody knew we we were playing today no more I mean this is it [Applause] Archie Holland quick to go get the Loose Change there with melanny down at first count is one and two on Regan I think Holland expected molan to be running on the 02 pitch he might be here at one to infield or the third baseman still in the Grass Hopper laced over the glove of Frasier for a base hit look at Meeny going to go to Third and he’s in there he is sco spending obviously he can run with great speed but he’s a good good base run him cut the [Applause] bag and he again with his speed he gets in with a head first SL Runners on the corners you got to be alive for re going to hit first to take a base he stole second in that big first inning in the same situation here’s Brock Ballinger the catcher rean bluffed and ball one to [Applause] Ballinger no activity in the lightwater [Applause] [Music] bullpen bouncer foul evens the count at one and one ballings are doubled an RBI double in the first inning and also made the last out of the first inning he’s the 12th man to bat opportunity here to tack on more there goes the runner Regan throw down going to delay and there’s Meeny scoring tag applied for the second out but they’ll trade that out for another run to make it nine to nothing and that’s a called play rean breaks for second stops short and when the throw goes through from Holland to the middle infielder mlan he breaks from third scored without a throw they get re Regan in the rund down but again you’ll take the Run nine zip two and two meantime to Ballinger so there’s two [Music] away and running the count [Applause] [Applause] full hit batsman number four [Applause] with two outs and marinak will be the [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hitter tied him up there [Applause] the Whitewater Bullpen starting to get busy Kate Hansen walking down there to get loose that is a tired Whitewater pitching [Applause] staff they use five pitchers the earlier elimination game side retired here but two more on the board for the Cougars after three their lead is N9 nothing [Applause] [Music] [Music] well starting pitcher Conor marinac an All-American utility player for what he does in the field and on the hill got some real nice pad here to work with nine nothing lead as we head to the fourth inning this ricordia trying to win its first national championship in baseball in their third trip to this tournament he Face Eli Frank and then cway the designated hitter and Hopper the third [Applause] [Music] baseman and first pitch to Frank is a big [Applause] whiff he didn’t shorten up there we’ve seen Eli connect on swings like that send pitches to the sonoko station out on the road this one chopped [Music] foul here next pitching on regular rest he threw Saturday about four runs and nine hits in six Innings against Lynchberg [Applause] wrapped on the ground for a base hit for [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Frank second straight inning third straight inning they’ve had the leadoff man on they haven’t got a runner pass first base and the batter will be cway Barak was the winning pitcher in the Super Regional through seven Innings against Christopher Newport about a run and five hits won a game in the regional five innings of work against Keystone [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] strike one and [Applause] one Van Horn couldn’t Corral it that time you can’t blame the glove he just couldn’t squeeze it enough to bring it in otherwise he had a chance for a possible double [Applause] play that’ll likely be an [Applause] error it’ll bring up Danny Hopper with two aboard and nobody [Music] [Applause] out and Horn went up and and timed it well they just need another another inch or [Applause] so big cut by [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Hopper and another one [Music] [Applause] a neck one and two against [Applause] Hopper

right center quite the blast Maybe another one it bounces off the wall almost run will score Whitewater on the board on a double Ragan and meleny were converging and the ball didn’t get out but it came close then Caren pass melin Hopper at first didn’t read this very well he’s held in third so th gets the RBI double Whitewater on the board it’s 9 to one second and [Music] third up the middle

is befuddling [Applause] Whitewater good word befuddling another ground ball yeah another throw by Van Horn to San Filippo two away on two [Applause] pitches skolan The Hitter mirak is thrown 60 pitches thus far so pitch count shouldn’t be an issue for this All-American right-hander [Applause] [Music] [Applause] strike round ball it finds a home past the diving bun a stolen first hit for him

was hit maybe even if he was hit Eli says no I want to swing it’s foul [Applause] ball so it’s two and two on Frank warhawks just haven’t squared up many balls against Marin so back to the Batters box he had that ringing double last inning that’s about it as far as making solid [Applause] contact big swing again but foul again marck 2-2 on the way center field Regan shielding his eyes and making the catch Frank hit it to the heavens regane haul it in nothing across for Whitewater in their half of inning number five [Applause] [Music] gab bun will lead it off in the bottom half of the fifth

and end up going over his head and the bases were cleared and Bard cord has had a comfortable lead [Applause] since droven three on that play and then couple more scored and it was a seven spot when

catch big time play by ran we talked about it he follow the pitch off his foot worried about him staying in the game got to keep him in the game for his defense he showed you why there he covers a lot of ground got good speed good in inks in that first step makes a real nice diving catch there to get the lead off man for Whitewater here in the [Applause] sixth sprawled out ball in glove first out Danny Hopper [Applause] [Music] now line cordiner slick play two down [Music] you mentioned it bill marinak just has these Whitewater bats in check lot of ground ball outs 12 now 12 out of 17 outs went on the ground here’s th double in a run is last a in the fourth ball one and when you throw in two strikeouts R is haven’t hit a lot of balls hard certainly the ball kway hit where Regan made the play but here oh oh a bad hop yeah bun was all set for out number three so was marinac he’s right there cheering him on but this is just a bad op and the gr crew done a nice job here by and large so 17 games in six days about to get keep the field in shape we’ve had a little rain thrown in as well but there’s a bad hop single here’s Sam Peyton paid in nothing in two trips so far [Applause] [Music] today and a strike marinak ahead 0 and2 right field in that corner long run mhany and Diving try in fellow territory he used that speed to cover a lot of ground to even give himself a chance yeah look how far he comes well this is the tail end of the play but he had come on long good effort by the right fielder [Applause] M it’s fair to say he’ll be on all tournament team when it’s announced the conclusion of this game check in time Hayden stays alive you might even make the case that he and skolen will compete for most valuable player in the tournament those are two pretty solid [Applause] choices to third Van Horn and nice scoop by San Filippo side retired middle of six here at East Lake Ohio 10-2 our score Miser Cordia in front [Applause] [Applause] has been a pleasure to be a part of this division 3 baseball championship series coming down to the final game here we had Lynchberg in the field when it started the defending national champs who wanted in Cedar Rapids a year ago someone new will bring home the hardware in 2024 Whitewater like to bring it home for the third time but things don’t look good for the warlocks now M Cordia tried to win for the first time Andre swings through that Whitewater has this is their eighth appearance in the division three baseball championships and as Bill mentioned twice they’ve won the whole kitten [Applause] Kaboodle Ballinger straight in the sky it’s th shielding his eyes and making the catch there a recording here for the Third time went one and two here last year but I think they and you alluded to it earlier they gained a lot of valuable experience so to come back here with that experience the way they play the game I mean we were in a different site but they still knew the drill had to find new restaurants but they we we knew the drill and we found new restaurants we did and I think Pete Edgar had people did the same but but not too much rattles this veteran team from Mis record MH they’re the Rattlers they do that to other teams HBO ahead of marinac 0 and2 and while talking about East Lake we probably we definitely not probably we definitely should send our thanks to the people for the North Coast Athletic Conference the host that have provided the staff that have helped us us out so much and provided Hospitality liner the hopper hold your thought oh no you can say it that’s only two outs you’re right yeah go keep going well the north North uh Coast Athletic Conference s a wonderful job I mean they’ve been all over everything here as far as I’m concerned Carri Alexander Makowski is the executive director the assistant executive director Shannon O’Brien has provided us with lineups and stats and Danny Johnson the director of athletic communication for the conference has been more more than accommodating into all our silly requests but no they really done a nice job as as the tournament host and we thank them greatly oh yeah Joe cumins liner up the middle for a base hit he’s a board with a two- out single Kevin from the staff Kevin is Kevin is invaluable because Kevin he’s the one who types in most of the lineups and types in and distributes all of your stats cuz you love paper you love killing trees well it it kills time for for you that’s right so it covers two bases yeah here’s San Filippo but thank you one and [Applause] all ball one to Jason and we’ll be back next year I don’t know if we’ll be back we hope we’ll be back yeah but uh NCAA tournament will be here again for the next two years only always great to go and and check out different venues another base hit San Filippo cumins going to go to third throw comes in there and he’s in there no he’s out I’ll bet we review this yeah we will good call [Applause] Bob Pete edbert had a ringside seat to check this out at third and immediately said go look at it fellas well here comes the play it’s like San philippo on the dive he slows down in the slide I guess it’s a nice slide came off the bag though yeah and Hoppers kept the tag on him when he came off third Bas ire said you’re out I think that’s the issue at at first blush yeah he was in there by a bunch and then you saw right there the fingertips may have come off the base but you know you R you ran it’s like coach eggar was as close as Third Base umpire JB Torres he he should have known whether he came off the bag or not but we’re in the sixth inning and after the seven coaches don’t have any challenges anyway can’t take them with you right you might as well take one of your two right here here it is so watch the right hand of cumins in there yeah yeah hop pushes him off with the glove so it and if you’re allowed to do that then he’s out if the I that play in herck yeah I going to say the 1990 One World Series herbeck pushed Ron Gan off the bag that’s right graes fans are still mad about that but so they called Gant out and it was a big play in a big game in that series so we’ll see what the review is here calling the field as he’s out if he is out we’ll go to the seventh inning with mis Cordia holding an eight-run lead [Applause] out so it is the end of the sixth inning the score does remain 10-2 Misericordia [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the All-American Conor marinac trying to give his team everything he’s got on the hill today he’s gone six Begins the seventh here with an eight-run lead McVey the first hitter follows this one off on the right side marinac has thrown 77 pitches up till now so allowed seven hits two runs blocked one struck out a pair and he’s at his Sinker working and whitewater is beaten into the [Applause] ground bu pen area and foul so he’s ahead of McVey 0 and2 89 and lead off here for Whitewater Frasier to follow then hollan the [Music] [Applause] [Music] catcher talked last inning about all the experience for miser accordia and what they gained playing in this event a year ago go and whitewater is going to bring a lot of their talent back in [Applause] 2025 this one hit the left pretty well but Cummins on the track makes the catch one away for Frasier [Applause] again I offer the disclaimer what we’ve learned from the past of College athletics that is true they have a lot coming back but will they all come back you’re right I keep jumping the gun here keep us well I mean we’ve seen division three players move up to division one yeah we’ve seen moves from school to school in the transfer portal as well [Applause] it’s the Wild Wild West now [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it’s how about the hope is White Water I’m sure John bonage hopes but I mean who’s a kid from Pomona pisser the big right-handed hitter oh Isaac Kim yeah he already knows he’s going to a division one school next year he’s an underclassman at Theona Pitzer but he’s going to what Santa Barbara when we told UC Santa Barbara they said it he’s already decided to make that move it wasn’t knowledge public knowledge during the tournament so we didn’t say anything we just made it public yeah now it is he has to go bun can’t get there he sort of short armed it but it ball was tailing away as well so Frasier will take it as a single and Holland will be the batter but as goodl looking a hitter as scullen is I got to think there might be some division one school that get a hold of mat and say what do you think but I don’t know that I truly speculated to of the order here for Whitewater they need stuff to happen we’re one out in the [Applause] seven strike one to Holland on the roster of Whitewater bill there’s one senior one it was today’s starting pitcher Baron’s the only senior yeah so if they can keep it intact and they you know that nucleus should come back to be sure they have a great chance to make another Deep Run Whitewater here for the first time since 2016 and just got a warning to the Whitewater [Applause] bench I think they lead the tournament warning we cost him in the sportsmanship voting yeah how many so how many warnings do you get and then if you reach when you reach the limit what happens I don’t know they have had a lot of warnings I got to [Music] say sought him off there cordner flips to Second nice play yeah showed his range and he still got to the ball and then made the nice throw off balance to bun cner is a great kid to have for M Cordia because he’s played third for most of the time when Marin’s over there at short and he just slides over when Connor’s on the hill and it’s like isn’t phased at all so now two away for [Music] scolan that’s one for three today in this game and the first pitch strike corner is just a freshman out there yeah short on a Harrisburg [Applause] [Applause] PA that’s going one for three in this game but five for eight in the [Applause] day and the Misericordia roster they have five grad students and only one senior but the grad students they’re key guys absolutely right field Mel Henny is there it is seventh inning stretch time in East Lake Ohio mizra Cordia leads this ball game 10 to2 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they’re done stretching them out here in Ohio White Water Bullpen starting to stretch out a little bit as well it’s Kate Hansen again hugho will start the inning here in the bottom of the seven he’s gone a long [Music] way and your Van Horn to lead it [Applause] off ball one [Music] low they have quieted Van Horn in this game nothing in three trips hasn’t been a quiet tournament for Andrew freshman is really delivered [Music] and a strike called one and two US B came in in the first inning was the third pitcher used by John vono in the first inning been on ever since five in the third inning since about five hits three runs walked one and struck out one and had a couple of costly boxs back to back Bo [Music] and horned down on strikes and one away in the bottom of the seventh he’s pull now up to 92 pitches and again he’s working in his fifth game in a week six days so he’s truly given it everything he’s got in the last game of the season he’s got dibs in the hot tub when it ends here’s bun who they haven’t retired today [Applause] still haven’t drops in front of a charging skolen for his fourth hit of this game three singles and a double Bill game [Applause] bu Sun a junior out a Sinking Spring [Applause] Pennsylvania and now cordner getting his marching orders from Pete Eggbert with one away [Applause] [Music] he swings away off the glove of Hopper he had him played same place right on that infield grasp but that ball was smoked No sacrifice this time that should be a hit look who’s up seems like he’s up every inning seems like it this is feels like it Fifth plate appearance in seven Innings they do rule that a hit 12th hit of this game oh look who showed up Bill Arie in the house oh we take everything back Archie yeah first base side they’ll get the force as Frank made a nice play on it tough hop and he went to second to get cordner erased buns at third now with two [Music] away and Regan try to do something here with Runners at the corners and two down I know you’re happy that Argie is here thrilled because you’ve just been a fan of mascots as long as we’ve been doing [Music] this photo op I was see he got here time for the team picture again the runner went molan tried to draw the throw but Holland throws behind the runner to corner at third he’s safe maeni was just walking he started the Jog and dared him to throw and then he ended up walking in the second base M second stolen base of the game is 36th of the Year ran can find some green here and played a couple I won’t say it but Archie could start primping for the team photo I would huse bow ahead of him in the count 0 and [Applause] two checked in time [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] one down around the shoelaces evids the count at two and two [Music] [Applause] time is [Applause] called ball got loose from the bullpen oh yeah Regan is one of over 20 Pennsylvania natives on the miss a record your roster Jack out of Westchester [Applause] [Music] reany all set hugho set to deliver the two- two pitch and count is full mik molan he’s a real pest [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and he draws the walk to load the bases with two [Applause] away and Brock Ballinger’s turn they try to inflict some seventh inning [Applause] [Music] [Applause] damage o buun at third Molen at second rean at first [Music] and here’s John bonit to make a pitching change USB does a nice job but ran out of gas just under 100 pitches for the Junior from RI and Wisconsin we’ll step aside in Ohio base is loaded here in the bottom of the seven [Music] [Music] [Applause] we’re back in eastlick where W whitew makes a pitching change and brings in their fourth pitcher this is savad deor who we’ve seen in this tournament including the earlier game today when he threw two thirds in Innings and allowed two hits didn’t give up a run the PO on the year in for the 11th time he’s one and0 with uh 10 relief appearances thrown 16 at 2/3 Innings L 19 hits five and runs he’s walked 11 struck out nine opponents have hit 279 against the sophomore from Glen viu Illinois this is dep’s thirdd appearance in the tournament he’s thrown four innings here in east lake and a big big hitter at the plate in Ballinger with the base is [Applause] loaded tosses strike one Ballinger today the big damage was in the second inning when the first inning I beg your pardon when he doubled home a [Music] run it was the first of [Applause] seven how lost it in the sun then I think he sensed Hopper coming in from third and the ball fell between him me no play as far as the scoring decision but a big play as far as Whitewater because they’re out of the inning the poor did his job and they don’t catch a break there Sun ball yeah and this is this is tough for a catcher cuz where the sun is tough to wear shades with all the gear on for plays like that so he’s trying to use his glove to get some coverage and then I think he thought Hopper was going to come out and make the play and he didn’t so Ballinger sitting 02 he chops it to short they get out of the inning anyway unscathed to the eighth we go in the national championship game 10-2 Misericordia in front [Applause] the NCAA thans our [Music] Champions here’s a accordia fans perhaps starting to sense it as their team gets closer here top of the [Music] eighth the Cougars plus eight on the scoreboard Eli Frank to lead it off checked the swing in time one [Applause] and0 Conor marinac starting the [Applause] eighth we’ve got a little light action going on in the Cougars Bullpen well they got their all American closer down there in lanzendorfer I would assuming is he you know that is the formula that Pete Eggbert would like to use or plan to use in a perfect [Applause] [Music] world Slicer in the air back behind first bun near the line makes the catch basket catch on the run in F territory one away Whitewater hasn’t got the lead on guy on since the fourth inning when they scored their two [Music] runs now Adam cway another look at bun going a long way and SS his glove out that’s what I [Applause] thought this one will find the gap for a base hit sliding over Regan and because of that able to hold cway to a single yeah because you’re down eight runs you can’t make the risk making the second out of the eighth inning at second base either yeah that’d be a no no so now Hopper will be the batter [Applause] [Music] slicer base hit to right cway going to try to get the third throw goes to third but not in [Applause] time good base running by by cwe cuz that ball died once it got into the Outfield grash ainak earing 100 [Music] pitches gives up backto back hits for the first time today and now th the [Applause] batter been on all three times in this game [Applause] strike big cut healthy cut East was thinking of replicating the long home run he hit in the first game [Applause] today one and two he’s two for two in this game driven in a run also G on Via [Music] walk trying to get in the chase one but he won’t two and two kway at third and Hopper at first aak now at 103 pitches ripped [Applause] foul and count is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] full another ball smoked into the seats and [Music] right but again their ne’s been a strike thrower of his 100 pitches first 100 pitches 70 were for strikes he’s walked but one he’s gone after guys given that seven run lead early come in and challenge people wrong look into Ballinger Runner goes from first and the ball’s going to knock around and score run it was Ball Four yeah Baler he’s mad at the Umpire over the bench saying what the heck but uh yeah he threw through thinking it was strike three want to strike him out throw him out Corner was late getting there the ball hits the Runner car hims away and that allows kway to score from third on what I assume will be an error on the catcher yeah if he realized it was ball four then he just eats the baseball and the bases are loaded but it’s 10 to three now here’s Sam Pon Runner goes from second Ballinger’s throw is high and down the line and that’ll allow another run to score so now some self-inflicted issues by the Cougars Pete Eggbert’s out of the Dugout I think he wants an interference call that Zan Binger had a throw over [Music] that goes on deaf [Music] ears so two errors on the catcher White Water playing mordia ball sending guys and daring them to make the plays throw the ball around it’s 10 to four to right this is going to fall in for a base hit and score another run Peyton with an RBI double life in the Whitewater Dugout 10 to five you’re I got to think this might be it for [Applause] [Music] [Applause] marinak but no indication of that thus far bounds you’re looking into the Dugout and here comes it [Applause] and Marin slams him himself on the on the hip probably wasn’t going to be able to go the distance in here but you know he wanted to try to get through the eighth and then turn the ball over to the All-American closer and if it is Gabe O’Brien has been announced as a pinch hitter here for McVey he’s left-handed hitter and I think that means lorf is coming in to face the left-hander but first McVey going to get a hero’s welcome as he comes to the bench he welome land and door for the mound and then comes to the bench where goes through a gauntlet of handshakes from his teammates we’ll step aside while lendorf for warms up [Music] on to try to get through this eighth inning first with only one away is the allamerican closer the Lefty Matt lanzendorfer we’ seen lanzendorfer a lot in this tournament this is his fourth appearance he’s made a start he’s also had a save he’s thrown 10 and two3 innings only Baron’s thrown more Innings he’s allowed 11 hits two ear runs he’s walked two and struck out nine in the tournament in the year he’s the third team allamerican with a 4-0 record eight saves daav o Bren as Bill mentioned is the pinch hitter left infielder from oair Wisconsin oh one for 14 in limited play this year vendor is a tough customer to face coming off the [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] bench one and one to O’Brien L andorfer on for the 20th time 19th out of the bull penig again 4-0 129 ra eight saves [Applause] got it in the corner two and one and two I beg your pardon and dorer has pitched 42 Innings allowed 29 hits just six earned runs as walk 12 struck out 48 so better than a strike out an [Music] [Applause] inning [Music] o everyone in the yard held their breath on that pitch two and two [Applause] [Music] [Applause] fouled back O’Brien hanging in there Frasier Waits on deck for Whitewater strike three called caught looking two away [Applause] [Music] and now [Applause] Frasier he’ll try to get that fourth run of the inning across out there at second base is [Applause] Peyton strike one [Applause] low ball one this is the key at bat for miser accordia top of the order is lurking Holland and then all those guys scolan Frank [Music] kway and DOR for has no interest in pinching to them here in the eighth he’s one and two on Frasier two and two now L and dford came in through four in a third Innings and four hit relief in two Tuesday’s game picked up the win or the save excuse [Applause] me Regan gives Chase makes the catch Whitewater tallies three times in the top of the eighth inning to the bottom of the eighth we go is accordia leading now 10 to5 [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the hardware the 2024 [Music] Hardware the final game of the division 3 baseball season that’s Danny Hopper he’s going to come in from his third base lot to pitch the bottom of the eighth inning darl Jackson will come in Off the Bench and replace him at the [Applause] third we also lose the designated hitter and put Adam kway in center field yeah cway in Center because they pinch it for McVey so those are your changes KO way in Center Jackson at third Hopper on the mound and Conor marinac will be the hitter Connor had to be subbed out on the hill but he did his part stayed in the game and went to Short Stop to try to finish this one out and they kind to keep him in for that reason right there lead off single here in the eighth for the Cougars first hit of the game from marinac who’s been pretty quiet in tournament with the [Music] bat Connor is 6 for 30 in the tournament but he gets the lead off guy on here in the eighth they could use some insurance runs there’s Joe cumins barx a threat to Steel like everybody in this club 17 Steals and Cummins squared but missed it strike one [Music] [Applause] 14 hits now for miser [Music] Cordia gets the bunt down here shielded by Hopper and so that third baseman comes back into play sacrifice complete marinak the second it’s the fourth sacrifice hit for m ricordia so one away San Filippo The [Applause] Hitter marinac out there in second his line is a pitcher seven in the third Innings 11 hits allowed five runs four which were earn he walked two struck out a pair and he did a nice job pitching with that big lead 110 pitches 75 of which were strikes so we went right after guys [Applause] [Applause] [Music] one and one to Jason San Filippo be up them Matt Lan Andor for they get the last three outs he’d appreciates some insurance runs here even though a five run cushion pretty nice we’ve seen enough of Whitewater slug the baseball in this tournament so you know never enough get what you can two and one to San [Applause] Filippo three and one this is Hopper’s eighth appearance on the bound he’s wanted to know for the 324 in run average and two saves thrown but eight in the third Innings and allowed eight hits and three earned runs and the strike count is [Applause] [Music] full Hopper is the fifth pitcher used today by Whitewater in this game they used five in the first game the second Thief had him played perfectly for the second out Ain act over to Third and Van Horn will be the [Applause] [Music] hitter top of the ninth for Whitewater will be the top of the order Holland scolan Frank cway [Applause] Holland saved in the insurance run there yeah he [Music] [Applause] did anything far enough away and that guy down at third will take advantage two and0 [Applause] buns in the on Deck [Applause] Circle Four for four for bun today in this ball game with three RB yeah he’s going to hit yeah he is as van Orin gets the four pitch one put him at the corners with two of [Applause] down and again against misery accordia you got to be alive to the a steal or Van Horn will get caught up between second and third and marinac will Trot home yep they’ll give you that third out and they’re going to walk bun cuz he’s four for four well the bases are now [Applause] loed and it’ll be cordner who was sacrificed twice in this game and then when he wasn’t in sacrifice mode he doubled and he singled first pitch to The Freshman ball one so with those stats why why are they pitching to courney you might ask he’s a 23 six hitter on the year that’s why so John bod playing percentages I [Music] guess swung through that offering one and [Applause] one cornerer 6 for 22 in the tournament it’s two for seven against why [Music] one foul back evens the count at two and two [Applause] [Music] Hopper got him but mordia on the doorstep three outs away from their first ever
