Northern schools just don't really care or put in the money into it. Hockey and wrestling is where thye put money outside the men's big 2. Field turf fields are becoming the norm in the the north, not a bad thing and will help grow the game.

Meanwhile the Cocks roll along at 15-0 and #1 in the country.

The D is straight up nasty this year, much improved. Crowe is a stud.

Xavier is about to jump into a tie for first place in the Big East at 1-0. They trailed Georgetown 6-3 after 4 innings but now have a 15-6 lead on the Hoyas in the 9th.

The Hoyas are pretty terrible, so a road sweep to start the conference season is quite possible and would be very, very nice.

Just picked up 5 runs in the top of the 8th to break open the game 8-2. Looks like GU was throwing the ball all over the diamond. 2 scored on bunts:

Xavier has never lost a Big East baseball game.

Sweep. Still perfect all-time in Big East play.

Suck it Big East! Butler and Villanova are horrible, horrible teams, by the way, so this is kind of a disturbing week for the league, but a very positive week for Xavier.

Xavier 3-0 1.000 16-13-0 .552
Butler 2-1 .667 13-17-0 .433
Villanova 2-1 .667 10-18-0 .357
Seton Hall 1-2 .333 21-7-0 .750
St. John's 1-2 .333 17-13-0 .567
Creighton 0-0 .000 15-10-1 .596
Georgetown 0-3 .000 12-16-0 .429

Xavier hosts Villanova this weekend, by the way, so the Muskies have a great shot at getting out to a 6-0 start and getting some separation on the rest of the league.

Won't Creighton be the favorites in Big East play? I see they haven't had their opening series yet.
