I haven't seen them yet but have to think whitewaters lineup is stronger.  Fon and Herum are unreal

My eyeballs and the stats have UWO in the lead slightly.

Don't forget about Pierce!!!  He is hitting as well as anyone on the Warhawk team right now.

WHITEWATER: 10
Stout: 8

The WARHAWKS jumped out to an early lead with single runs in the second and third innings.  Michael Gonzales' RBI single drove in the first run and Steve Bartlein's RBI single the second.  Both runs were unearned as the Blue Devils misplayed relatively easy ground balls.  Stout got one run back in the third when the lead off hitter tripled and scored on a sac fly.  Jared Fon's solo home run gave the WARHAWKS a 3-1 lead in the fifth.  Neither team scored for the next couple of innings but the Blue Devils scored looked to have put the game away in the eighth when they scored seven runs off of a pair of WARHAWKS relievers taking a 8-3 lead by hitting a three run home run, a two run double and a pair of sacrifices.  However the WARHAWKS retook the lead 10-8  with seven runs of their own in the ninth.  After the lead off hitter flew out Marty Herum doubled and scored when Mickole Pierce followed with a single.  Bartlein singled and Logan Peot walked to load the bases for Sam Keller who also walked forcing in the Pierce.  David Cladis' RBI single drove in another run and Gonzales followed with a double driving a pair.  Dylan Friend's single followed driving in the final two runs of the inning.  Stout nearly responded in their at bat loading the bases before the final out.

Matt Roberts started for the WARHAWKS allowing just a single run (earned) on 9 hits while striking out 2 in 7 innings.  Alex Egstad struggled in relief allowing 3 hits and 4 runs (2 earned) without recording an out.  Brock Liston (1-0) picked up the win though he gave up 3 earned runs on 3 hits in a single inning of relief.  Cody Steed picked up a save and escaped without allowing a run despite loading the bases with a hit and pair of walks.

Gonzales and Fon both had 3 hits while Friend, Pierce, Bartlein and Cladis all had 2 hits.  Gonzales drove in 3 runs and Friend a pair while Friend, Pierce, Bartlein, Keller and Cladis each had a single RBI. 

Gangestad led the Blue Devils with 3 hits and five other Blue Devils had 2 hits.  Lamers took the loss in relief. 

The two teams combined for 32 hits and stranded a combined 22 base runners.

WHITEWATER: 11
Stout: 2

Stout scored first in their first at bat in game two when a one out triple was followed by a fielder's choice ground out.  The WARHAWKS wasted little time in responding however getting a pair of runs in the second on Mikole Pierce's solo home run and an RBI single off the bat of Casey Power.  Things slowed down after that as neither team was able to plate any runs until the seventh when the WARHAWKS broke the scoring slump with three runs getting a pair on Michael Gonzales two run home run and the third on a fielder's choice credited to JT Schneider.  A six run eighth inning by the WARHAWKS increased their lead to 11-1.    Power and David Cladis opened the inning with singles and a single by Gonzales drove in the first run.  Friend's sac bunt advanced both and Cladis scored the second run on a wild pitch.  Marty Herum singled up the middle to drive in Gonzales and Mikole Pierce's double drove in the fourth run of the inning.   A fielders choice on a ground ball by Logan Peot drove in the fifth run and the final run scored when Pierce scored during a run down.  Stout prevented the game from ending an inning short when they scored their second run in the bottom of the inning.

Tom Kerndt (4-1) went 7 innings allowing a single run (earned) on 4 hits and striking out 5.  Colin Grove pitched the final 2 innings allowing an unearned run on 3 hits while striking out 3. 

Power went 3x4 in his first varsity level start and Cladis also had 3 hits.  Gonzales, Herum and Pierce each had a pair of hits.  Gonzales drove in 3 runs, Pierce a pair while Herum, Schneider, Peot and Power drove in a single run.

The hitter who tends to be overlooked is David Cladis who improved his season average to .489 by going 5x10 yesterday.  Cladis has a team leading .579 ob%.  He doesn't have the power that the others mentioned but he's solid contact hitter and perhaps the most improved from last season though he did hit a respectable .329 last year.

Are they seriously playing a quadrupleheader or am I missing a joke here?

The plan is to play four games on Wednesday....  They are going to complete the suspended game from last Wednesday at 11:00 am (9 inning game) and then play three 7-inning games at 1:00 pm, 3:30 pm, and 7:00 pm. 

Game #4 will be played across town at EJ Schneider under the lights.

It will be a true test for both pitching staffs, as both Oshkosh and Whitewater played four nine-inning games this weekend (two Saturday and two Sunday.)

[Spence]

Has this ever been done?

I guess if you like baseball you know where to be. Will be interested to see if Oshkosh is for real...by the end of the day, we should know.

I remember back in 2007, Stevens Point and Platteville played three 7-inning games on a Monday after they were rained out on both Saturday and Sunday.

As far as Oshkosh, they dropped Game #1 against Superior today 8-5.  Looks like UWO could have used a few of those 40+ runs they put up yesterday today!!!

[ShineTime]

And their down 6 to 1 in 7th in game 2.  Why does whitewater always find a way to take all 4 against the bottom dwellers and Oshkosh and point find a way to split or lose one.  Seems to be the trend now

Easy....  They typically have a deeper pitching staff and are overall a better team!!!

Carthage has played a quadruple header in the past. I will try to find a link to the story... In the late 60s or early 70s maybe?

[badgerwarhawk]

I don't think that there will be four games on Wednesday.  There have been some new developments that make it seem unlikely.  The details of what will be played have yet to be worked out. 

WHITEWATER: 7
Stout: 4

The WARHAWKS opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the third when Dylan Friend hit an opposite field two run home run and added a third run in the fourth which was scored on a fielders choice.   Stout got on the board in the bottom of the inning when they scored on a fielders choice.  Jared Fon's triple scored two more WARHAWKS runs in the seventh increasing the lead to 5-1.  But the Blue Devils cut the lead to 5-3 with their own pair of runs in the bottom of the inning.  Michael Gonzales' double in the eighth drove in two more increasing the WARHAWKS lead to 7-3 and Stout scored a single run in their last at bat to create the final.

Justin Lambert (5-1) picked up the win pitching 6.2 innings allowing 3 earned runs on 10 hits with 2 strikeouts and a single walk.  Curtis Morgan and Justin Mortensen combined to pitch the final 2.1 innings without giving up a hit though Mortensen was touched with an unearned run. 

Gonzales, Friend, Fon and Herum each had a pair of hits and Gonzales, Friend and Fon each had 2 RBI. 


WHITEWATER: 12
Stout: 8

Stout opened the scoring in the second game with they scored a single run in the first at bat.  However the WARHAWKS quickly took control with four runs in the second.  Marty Herum led the inning off circling the bases when his single was played into a three base error on the Blue Devil centerfielder.   Mikole Pierce followed with a solo home run.  Casey Power's RBI single later in the inning drove in the third run and Dylan Friend's sac fly brought the fourth run home.  The WARHAWKS increased their lead to 6-1 with a RBI single by Trey Cannon in the third and David Cladis' RBI single in the fifth.   Stout cut the lead to 6-3 with a pair of RBI singles in the sixth but the WARHAWKS got those two back in the seventh when Casey Power hit a two run home run.   The WARHAWKS added four more in the ninth with a fielders choice, a Gonzales RBI single, a double steal in which Gonzales scored and Marty Herum's RBI single to take 12-3 lead.  Stout wasn't finished though as they scored four runs off two WARHAWKS relievers before the third relief pitcher in the inning finally recorded the final out.

Scott Plaza (4-0) allowed 5 hits and 3 runs (1 earned) while striking out 6 with a walk in 6 innings for the win.  Colin Grove gave up 1 run (earned) on 2 hits striking out 2 and walking one in 2 innings of relief.  Cody Steed struggled giving up 4 earned runs on 3 hits with a strikeout in .1 inning.  Justin Mortensen allowed a single hit in .1 inning and Curtis Morton got the final out in his second appearance of the day. 

JT Schneider led the 20 hit WARHAWKS offense with 4 hits.  Herum, Pierce and Cladis each had 3 hits.  Gonzales, Cannon and Power all had a pair of hits.  Power led the team with 4 RBI while 6 other WARHAWKS drove in a single RBI.

It wouldn't suck if point could go 8 and 0 against ripon stout and superior this week.
