Just a quick college update today
AIAA UPDATE: APRIL 17, 1933
The Ellery Bruins stay at the top of the college baseball rankings was a short one as the Bruins lost 3 of 5 games this week. Ellery, which spent one week atop the rankings, is still leading the Academia Alliance conference thanks in no small part to the offensive prowess of Harry Hunter (.500,12,48), has dropped behind another northeastern school in St Matthew's. The Senators have won 8 of their last 10 games behind the pitching of sophomore Jack Riley (5-0,2.70), who is having a dominant year despite the sudden shift of the league to offense this season.
Two schools on the rise are the Northern Mississippi Mavericks and the Wisconsin State Brewers. The Mavericks have won 8 of their last nine and own the best record on the Continental side. The Brewers started slow, with just 3 wins in their first 7 games, but have won 9 of ten since the calendar flipped to April including their last five in a row.
The Lincoln Presidents, who were the preseason favourite before stumbling two weeks ago, righted the ship with 4 wins at home this week, a pair each over Indiana A&M and St Blane, which dropped the 12-5 Fighting Saints from 5th to 10th.
