BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[cubs]

Entering today's WIAC opener for both teams, Platteville was sitting at 15-4 while Stout was 3-12....  While I didn't wonder aloud, it had crossed my mind how much Platteville's opponents might have played into how nice the Pioneers record looked.  Well today's results against Stout might be an indicator, as the Blue Devils swept Platteville in a pair of one run games, 5-4 and 9-8.

Kawlewski is not the answer...struggles to throw strikes and when he does, gets hit around the park.  I haven't seen one reason why Jirschele feels he's the number 2 starter right now.

Kawlewski with a complete game shutout as Stevens Point defeats UWO 4-0 in Game #1 of a DH today.  Kawlewski gave up just four hits and struck out six while walking three in the 116 pitch outing.

Tack on another loss to Platteville's record, as Stout knocks off the Pioneers again this morning, 7-3.

Whitewater strikes first in the race for the WIAC regular season championship as they sweep a DH from La Crosse today.  Austin Jones continues his dominance beating reigning WIAC Pitcher of the Year Caleb Boushley 4-1 in the opener, while Health Renz keeps the Eagles bats quiet in the nightcap until La Crosse scores four ninth inning runs against the bullpen for a 9-4 victory.  Kuczynski with a pair of home runs and Chamberlain with three doubles paced the Whitewater offense in the nightcap.

Whitewater battles back to take Game #3 of the series 4-3, thanks in large part to some great relief pitching from Nompleggi (4 scoreless innings,) a continued hot bat from Chamberlain (a double and 2 HR's)  and a solo HR from Fleischmann leading off the Bottom of the 12th inning.

Stevens Point gets a solid performance from Erickson on the mound in the WIAC opener as they take advantage of some UWO errors for a 4-0 victory.  Stevens Point outhit UWO 7-5 in the nightcap, however four Pointer pitchers combine to issue 12 walks as UWO salvages a split with an 8-2 victory.

Kawelski fires a CG shutout to lead Point to a 4-0 victory in the opener, and despite squandering a 4-0 lead, UWO ties the game in the 8th and then puts up five runs in the 11th inning to gain yet another DH split.  Infielder Noah Polcyn with four impressive innings of relief to pick up the victory, giving up just one hit while striking out four.

This looks as expected but I would have thought UW-LX would have won one game.  Good job for UWW just about winning the WIAC in the first weekend of conf play.

Sweeping UWL is big but this is far from over. It'll be tough for UWO to do the same to UWL AND win their series with UWW but it is doable. UWO has a better team and will finish ahead of UWL this year.

That is quite the statement to me.  UWSP has 1 hitter and 1 pitcher who has shown any type of consistency this season and Oshkosh was only able to salvage a split there.  I still think La Crosse and Whitewater are the 2 best teams in the conference with Whitewater head and shoulders above everyone else.

Aren't you the same person to pick the WARHAWKS most likely to disappoint in the 2012 World Series?  Thanks for the vote of confidence but I'll wait for the season to play out.

You're undervaluing Point. I think they proved that they're better than most thought with their performance against UWO this past weekend. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see UWSP finish ahead of UWL.

Could warhawks possibly go undefeated this year in conference? I could see point maybe pulling a game off if Erickson is on.  I was kidding in basketball not so much in baseball this year. Probably the worst the wiac has been in 20 years top to bottom but whitewater being so good helps.

Even if the WIAC is as bad this year as you're claiming it to be I don't see it happening. I wasn't around to see the UWO teams of the 90s play but I have a feeling if none of those groups could do it then it is going to be darn near impossible.
