BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[cubs]

While Beau is probably more well known for his football exploits around the WIAC, he is a very nice baseball player!!!  Beau and Kowalke could end up playing a BIG role on the mound for the Pointers.

Gonna pat myself on the back for this one!!!!   

Can't ask for much more than a 2-0 CG Shutout in the WIAC Tournament!!!!

It's rather impressive to say the least without beau hard telling where point would be.  Kowalke will need to pitch game of life to win tonight though.

What a poor showing by eagles I would assume this will hurt their seeding mightily for regionals.  Looks like oshkosh isn't done yet.

Better question is does an 0-2 showing knock them out of Regionals altogether?

I can't imagine it would given regional ranking and 2nd place regular season.  I just think they are 4 5 or 6 now instead of top 3 seed.  I think whitewater will get shipped and be a 1 wherever they go.  If point finds way to win tourney I could see them being a 1 or 2 in lacrosse regional based on their finish.  That's a big if though as to whether they can beat whitewater.  Beau can't pitch every game unfortunately.

As a five or six, they may never even get to the table to be considered for a Pool C bid, as they would be behind Point/Whitewater loser and possibly the MIAC loser...

UWW's recap story last night says Game 7 (if necessary) would be played Sunday at a time TBD. WIAC website says it would be played at 7pm Saturday night. Anyone happen to know which is correct?

[Baseball Geek]

As I read the WIAC championship tournament handbook, it appears that if a game 7 is necessary, it would need to be on Sunday because one team would have played three games on Saturday. Odd that their website doesn't take that into account. Perhaps I'm missing something.

I think LaCrosse is still in the regional and they will play in LaCrosse.  The really, really surprising thing to me yesterday, as far as LaCrosse is concerned, it that it took them 17 innings to score a run.  With that offense I just wouldn't have thought that possible.  Five errors in their loss to Oshkosh obviously really hurt them.

Just in case anyone missed it the first time!!!!   

Game 1-Beau CG Shutout to beat La Crosse 2-0

Game 2-Kowalke 5.2 Scoreless Innings Pitched and leaves with a 5-0 lead over Colin Grove and Whitewater

[ShineTime]

18 innings 0 runs unbelievable point should go ben miller now.

[GBMAN]

Wisconsin Whitewater defeats Oshkosh and then Point to force a noon game on
Sunday for all the marbles.

[badgerwarhawk]

I thought it odd that it took LaCrosse so many innings to score and then we turn around and do the same thing Saturday.  The baseball god's are a fickle lot. 

Given that I think LaCrosse, Point and WHITEWATER are all still going to be in the post season and that the NCAA won't send three teams from the same league to the same regional I'm wondering if the loser of today's game is headed somewhere else like the Wartburg regional.   Or I suppose it's possible that the winner could be shipped out too.  Obviously LaCrosse isn't headed anywhere else. 

[cubs]

I'm gonna say Point is shipped regardless...  Whitewater won regular season title and made it to tournament championship.  That should be enough to keep them "home."

Any guesses on starters for today's championship? 

I would think it will be Renz vs Miller....

[ShineTime]

Looks like ben miller won't last an inning whitewater is playing like whitewater and this one may be over fast.
