No Quadrupleheader on Wednesday in Oshkosh.....

Now scheduled to be a tripleheader, with completion of suspended game at 11:00 am and two more games at 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm.

Was looking forward to four games and a change of venue for the last one. We can probably take Dr. Jobe off speed dial for now, but these last few weeks are going to be crazy. Wonder what the regional winner is going to have left in the tank.

This seems much more sensible.

Why Spence?  How you gonna get these in?

Just pointing out that MN high schools have yet to play a game... got more snow last night. Unreal.

I don't know, but playing 4 games in a day is not the right way to do it.

The Spence-o-Matic 3000 says:

Won't amount to much. Some of it might be rain which would help. Then a warmup FINALLY coming. Expect baseball this weekend.

For those who haven't heard, the WIAC tournament has been pushed back a day to Sat-Sun May 11th-12th, no doubt due to the rescheduled games on the 8th.

Also, the final weekend series have been pushed back a day to the 4th & 5th.   It's nice to see some common sense flexibility.

Rumor I have heard is that the WIAC Tournament was changed from a 3-day tournament to a 2-day tournament because of the likelihood it will be in Whitewater.  With it being in Whitewater, the field is now lighted which allows games to be played later if need be.

UWO picks up where it left off in suspended game and defeats Whitewater 11-1 in a game shortened to seven innings due to the mercy rule. 

Joe Pavlovich was outstanding limiting the Warhawks potent offense to to just a single run on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters for the complete game victory (which spanned eight days!!!)

Beattie, Polcyn, and Kachel led the Titans offense with three hits apiece, while Kamps and Kachel each added a pair of hits.  The Titans had nine extra-base hits in the game (7 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 HR.)

Following the week long delay, Curtis Morgan came on in relief for losing pitcher Quintin Zander and was "roughed up" a bit highlighted by giving up five straight hits (a single, two doubles, a triple and a HR) in the Titans five run sixth inning.

Be interesting to see how Game #2 and #3 turn out with both teams on "equal" footing.

Game 2
WHITEWATER: 18
Oshkosh: 6

Each team scored a pair of runs in their first at bat.  The WARHAWKS runs were both unearned and came on a pair of  fielding errors.  The Titans got theirs on a 2 run home run by Kachel.  After neither team scored in the second they both got single runs in the third.  Casey Power's RBI single got  the WARHAWKS on the board  and Polcyn's RBI single countered for the Titans.  The WARHAWKS took the lead for good with 3 runs in the fourth which the Titans answered with only a pair.  Jared Fon's RBI single drove in the first run and sac flies by Marty Herum and Mikole Pierce each drove in runs.  The Titans runs came on a sac fly which was followed by an error.  After Steve Bartlein's solo home run in the fifth made the score 7-5 the WARHAWKS pushed it to 11-5 with four runs in the sixth.  Pierce's ground out drove in the first run, Cladis's RBI single the second, Bartlein's second home run drove in the third and fourth.  A single by Marty Herum  drove in a run in the seventh making the score 12-5.  Barlein picked up his third RBI of the game with a single in the eighth and Dylan Friend's triple drove in two more.  The Titans scored a single run in the bottom of the inning when Bohn hit a sac fly.  The WARHAWKS closed out the scoring with three runs in the ninth.  Pierce doubled to drive in the first run.  Power's infield single drove in the second run and the seventh Titan error of the game allowed the final run to score on a ground ball by Logan Peot.

Matt Roberts (5-0) pitched 7.1 innings giving up 9 hits, 5 runs (3 earned) while striking out 8 and walking 3.  Colin Grove finished the final 1.2 allowing 2 hits and striking out 3.  Matt Sabel, the second of six Titan pitchers, took the loss in relief for the Titans.

The WARHAWKS pounded out 19 hits in the game.  Friend, Herum and Bartlein each had 3.  Fon, Cladis, Power and JT Schneider each had 2 hits.  Pierce and Bartlein each finished with 3 RBI while Friend, Fon, Herum and Power had 2 RBI and Cladis drove in 1.  Every WARHAWKS position player recorded at least one hit.  Beattie had 3 hits to lead Oshkosh.


Game 3
WHITEWATER: 20
Oshkosh: 3
7 innings

The WARHAWKS scored three runs in both the first and second innings and a pair of run in the third to jump on top 8-0.  Marty Herum's double drove in the first run and was followed by a two run home run by Mikole Pierce for the first three runs.  A Michael Gonzales RBI double got the WARHAWKS going in the second inning and was followed by solo home runs by Mikole Pierce and Steve Bartlein.  The Titans cut the lead to 8-3 when Kachel hit a 3 run home run in the bottom of the third.  But the WARHAWKS doubled their run total with 8 runs in the fourth.  Jared Fon's single drove in the first two and Pierce drove in another pair with a single.  Two more runs scored on a throwing error and another run scored when Casey Power doubled.  The final out of the inning came on Gonzales' ground out.    The WARHAWKS added another run in the fifth when Herum homered, two more in the sixth on a single by Gonzales and the final run on a single by Pierce. 

Tom Kerndt (5-1) allowed all 3 Titan runs (earned) on 6 hits striking out 10 and walking 3 in 6 innings.  Brock Liston pitched the final inning without allowing a hit and striking out a batter.   Travis Sindles started and took the loss for the Titans.

Gonzales and Pierce led the 21 hit WARHAWKS offense with 4 hits apiece.  Herum had 3 hits and Fon, David Cladis, Power and JT Schneider had 2 hits.  For the second time during the day every WARHAWKS position player recorded at least one hit.  Pierce had 5 RBI and Gonzales 4.  Friend, Fon, Herum and Bartlein all had 2 RBI while Power had 1.   Kamps led the Titans with 2 hits.

If Oshkosh and Whitewater happen to meet up in the WIAC Tournament, pretty easy to figure out who would likely be taking the mound for UWO....  What a killing the Warhawks put on every UWO pitcher not named Pavlovich!!!

None of the games were competitive for very long. If they happen to meet again, there's a good chance that Oshkosh will have its regular cleanup hitter and third baseman in the lineup.

Oshkosh struggled in all phases during the doubleheader. Lots of called third strikes and errors. It could have been worse if Whitewater ran the bases better. UWW got picked off at least six times today.

Unless he can get guys out on the mound it likely won't matter in my opinion....

He would not have driven in 25 runs today. Turns out today was moot. But if they meet again, they start with a tie game. I think he's a key part of the Oshkosh offense and defense.

No comments on points whooping they took today?  I'm a tad bit concerned about points pitching right now too.
