Fall Practice 2015

Fall Practice 2015

Maryville, Mo. - The Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats baseball team completed its Fall 2015 practice.  As is customary during the fall, seeing familiar faces of returning veterans plus meeting the new players for over 50 guys is the exciting part of the new school year.  As finals week and Christmas break approaches, the B2R will cover how fall practice went and introduce you to the team.

The Bearcats recently released the 2016 schedule.  You can find the entire schedule by clicking on this link:

The Cats head to Tennessee to start the season then head to Arkansas and conclude in Oklahoma.  Christian Brothers University in Memphis will be the Cats season opener for a 3-game series.  Northwest then plays Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee, for one game.  After those four games, Northwest will travel to Arkadelphia, Arkansas to play Henderson State (1 game) and Arkansas Tech (2 games).  The Bearcats then travel to Edmond, Oklahoma, to play Oklahoma Christian University for three games.  That essentially concludes the non-conference slate for Northwest but for match-up with Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois.

Northwest starts conference play with a home series against Northeastern State in Maryville between February 26-28.  Home Conference opponents in 2016 include Northeastern State, Lincoln University, Nebraska-Kearney, Pitt State, Missouri Western, Southwest Baptist, and Emporia State.  Road Conference opponents in 2016 include Lindenwood, Washburn, UCM, Southern, Fort Hays State, as well as split series on the road at Missouri Western and Nebraska-Kearney.

B2R Exclusive - Campaign for Steven Garber for MIAA Hitter of the Week (April 10-12)

MESSAGE TO MIAA COMMISSIONER DR. BOB BOERIGTER & THE SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR THE MIAA HITTER OF THE WEEK

It would be a travesty of justice if the MIAA did not award the April 10-12 MIAA Conference Hitter of the Week to Northwest Missouri State Bearcat Steven Garber.  Steven is a Senior from Chino Hills, California.  During the 4-game weekend series versus Emporia State, Steven batted .529 (9 of 17) with 7 runs scored, 8 RBIs, and 3 home runs against the perennial powerhouse.  All of this was on the road.  Also worth noting, Steven did not commit an error while starting every game at first base.

Do the right thing MIAA and name Steven Garber as the MIAA Hitter of the Week for April 10-12.

Go Cats!!

Series Re-Cap - Emporia State

Series Re-cap - Emporia State wins series in walk-off

Northwest lost its first conference series this weekend at Emporia State but it took some good fortune for the Hornets to do so.  The story of the Northwest/Emporia series came down to a tough day for starting pitching, late game offensive heroics, and defensive miscues by both teams.  In the end, Emporia made the plays it needed to win the games.  However, of note is the fact that the Bearcats came back from a 9-4 deficit in game 4 to tie the game in the 8th inning.

Game 1 - Emporia State defeated Northwest by the score 5-4 in a thrilling game.  Both teams' starters struggled in the game but both teams' bullpens pitched outstanding as neither team scored after the 3rd inning.  For Northwest, Anthony Caenepeel earned the start but picked-up his first loss of the season.  In total, Anthony worked 4.2 innings, allowed 6 hits, 5 runs (all earned), 4 walks, 6 strike-outs, 1 wild pitch, 0 balks, and he hit 2 batters.  Austin Battaglia came into the game in the 5th inning and threw 1 terrific inning of relief.  In total, Austin worked 1.0 inning, allowed 1 hit, 0 runs, 1 walk, 2 strike-outs, 0 wild pitches, 0 balks, and he did not hit a batter.  Senior Patrick Brady came into the game in the 6th inning and worked over 2 masterful innings without allowing a run.  In total, Pat worked 2.1 innings, allowed 2 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 5 strike-outs, 0 wild pitches, 0 balks, and he did not hit a batter.
