Some transfer news. Brent Kakwich and Jon Schoch transfer out of Point. Kakwich to MATC, and Schoch to UW-Sout.

Great weekend for Point. And they needed it to say the least! Alot of hits all over the line up. The only concern for me is Surman. He does not seem to be moving or swinging well. Is he trying to play through an injury?

here's my opinion on what has to happen for the Pointers.
1. Koback has to pitch! He hit 91 on the gun in the 1st inning and the last inning he pitched. He's too good not to use. Plus he's got a little mean streak in him.
2. Berry goes to long relief. He struggled against Stout and loses alot on his fastball after a couple innings.
3. Zielke stays at closer.
4. As far as the lineup goes. I don't know. The only thing I do know is that Bloom will have the same problem next year because all those guys will be back.
Hitting with guys on base would cure alot of their issues.

Dagger is right. I think it's a luxury for Bloom to play all those guys and still win. It's not been the prettiest baseball all the time but it will certainly help down the road. At some point there going to get all those bats going at once (this weekend)? I still think there pitching is very solid! When it happens, look out!! Zielke looked great in relief yesterday.

I disagree Shinetime. I don't think you can pin Points problems on the freshman. The only one other than Koback to get regular playing time is Schoch. Kakwich and Iverson started the 2nd game but Kakwich was pulled after one ab and Iverson after two. I think that they are just very young overall, and they just are not all hitting together.
Now on the positive side they are WINNING. Berry looked unhittable at times yesterday and I thought Scottie Williams threw great. Nix did not pitch well the inning he was in there and that's concerns me a little.

Sounds like Richter is having a great trip for Point. Is anyone else standing out? How are the Freshman doing?

Dagger believe it or not Riegel was 84-87. I seen him pitch in the fall and I think that's pretty accurate. Besides Nix, Hemi, and Zielke their staff is really young but pitching will be one of their strengths. I think they've got 4-5 guys that get it up there close to 90. Maybe there was another issue with Riegel but I don't think so.

I do not know about Bestul or Hoerter. I do know that they only had to make one cut this spring and that was Riegel the left hander from Hortonville. He looked good in the fall. I was surprised by that. I think they clocked him in the mid to upper 80's. Darn good for a lefty. Maybe control was an issue?

From what I know Engelbert and Blizel quit. Mittelstaedt is a pitcher. It must have been a Typo?

From what I seen this fall, Points' areas of concern are the infield and behind the plate. Whoever can hit is gonna play. Pitching should be solid.
