Rough day for Platteville... Not only did they drop a game to lowly Eau Claire, but watched as Stout "stole" one from Whitewater as well.

Sweeps by Platteville and Whitewater tomorrow would leave both Stout and Platteville at 12-12 with four games left to play in the race for the #4 seed. Platteville travels to Whitewater to end the WIAC regular season while Stout hosts UWO.

The two teams split their season series so that tie breaker is out.  Stout has the win against us so if we were to sweep Platteville Stout would have the four seed regardless of what happens with Platteville/Oshkosh. Should both be tied after this weekend the four seed will go to Platteville by virtue of their win over LaCrosse.

The WARHAWKS (31-3,21-3) finished the weekend series sweeping Stout (14-22,12-12) but neither win came easy.  C.Hansen (7-1) allowed just a single hit and recorded 13 strikeouts over 7 innings to pick up the win in game one.  Hagen relieved him but struggled allowing 3 runs on a pair of hits and 3 walks.  Failing to finish the inning Koenig (S1) relieved him and finished the last 1.1 innings with a couple walks and a strikeout. Hopper and Thies led the offense with 3 hits apiece while Scolon and Cootway had a pair of hits. Scolon, Frank, Cootway, Thies and Paden all had a rbi.

Stout took a 3-0 lead after 3 innings in game two but the WARHAWKS responded with 3 doubles and a home run to regain the lead in the fourth 4-3. Stout tied the game 4-4 with a run in the bottom of the inning. However the WARHAWKS plated 4 runs in the fifth and then added another in the seventh for what appeared to be a comfortable 8-4 lead.  But the Blue Devils weren't finished adding a run in the 8th, another in the 9th and loading the bases with one out before the WARHAWKS Brady Malkow retired the side.  Lee started allowing 4 runs on 8 hits with a pair of walks and a strikeout. He was relieved by Wickman (2-0) who got the win going 3.1 innings while surrendering a run on 2 hits with a walk and a strikeout.  Malkow finished the final 0.2 innings allowing a run on 3 hits and striking out 2. Scolon led the offense with 3 hits including record breaking career  home run #48 and a solo rbi.  Frank had a home run and double for 4 rbi and Thies also had a pair of hits including a home run finishing with 2 rbi. Cootway added an rbi.

Couple of updates going into the last WIAC series of the season....

1. A 2-2 series by Whitewater against Platteville locks up the #1 seed for the Warhawks as they have the tiebreaker with La Crosse.

2. A 1-3 series by La Crosse against Stevens Point locks up the #2 seed for the Eagles as they have the tiebreaker with UWO.

3. A 1-3 series by UWO against Stout locks up the #3 seed for the Titans as they already have the tiebreaker with Platteville.

4.  Platteville will need to win at least one game over Whitewater and then hope Stout loses at least three out of four to UWO to earn the #4 seed.  Platteville controls their own destiny in the chase for the #4 seed, though an 0-4 series against Whitewater gives the final spot to Stout.

As far as the bolded, not exactly....  Should both go 0-4 this weekend, they finish tied at 12-16.  Stout would get  the #4 spot thanks to their victory over Whitewater on Saturday.
