BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

Thrun has thrown way too much against Oshkosh so they can't use him.

Good thing Coach Bloom didn't listen to you on this one.....  Thrun goes out and gets a complete game victory giving up just five hits and stuffing the Oshkosh bats all day.

Who would've thought Oshkosh would've gone up to bad and took some grade school cuts.  Fadness looked absoltely terrible today as did some of their other lefties.  How can you not start Reubens against Point with the success they've had?  Pretty questionable decision making on Lechnir's part.  Then to leave Hendricks in there when Point was rakin the way they were.  Thrun certainly was dealing today though but I am afraid Whitewater will have an easy time tonight with their lineup.

I don't want to get in an argument with you, but honestly....

Why replace Hendricks in a tournament setting like they are in?  Since UWO's bats were brutal today and it looked like they were going to struggle to score, why wipe out an already thin pitching staff by going to your pen, especially when you know you have to win four games now to win the tournament.  Pretty logical if you ask me....  Let Hendricks take one for the team, and keep as many "bullets" as possible by not using the pen.

Secondly, take a look at Rubens three conference starts.  He has started the final game of all of those series so that he can be used in relief in previous games.  Why change things now?

Atta boy Bradley.
For a contrast to Rapids long ball, deep in the LEC tourney, there's a 0-0 game in 8th between Keene St. and ECSU. We don't usually get 0-0 games after the 1st inning of the early games.
Fun diversion for anyone interested.

And Rockford/CUC is 1-1 in the 6th. I guess we're the only guerilla ballers to play in bandboxes at our tourney.

Well it would still be pretty similar if it went back to the old way and the Regular Season champ hosted....  Whitewater isn't exactly a "pitchers park" either....

Hmmm......  Oshkosh gets five hits total in their first game against Stevens Point, and then has two seperate players go 5x6 in their second game against La Crosse.   

Brad Demmin goes 5x6 with five runs scored, 6 RBI's, 2 doubles and a HR, while teammate Blake Berger goes 5x6 with one run scored, 5 RBI's, 2 doubles and a HR.

Jeremy Rubens shows dominating stuff once again, coming in in relief of Ryan Demmin and going six innings giving up just 1 run on six hits.  Rubens has now won or saved 17 of Oshkosh's 29 victories.

[cubs]

Well, well, well......  What do we have here?  A pitchers duel?  Well I'll be....

Whitewater 1
Stevens Point 0    Top 5th

It would still be scoreless, but thank to a Stewart Larsen error, Whitewater is able to push across a run in the Top of the 4th inning on an RBI groundout from Mike Kenseth.

[cubs]

Whitewater 2
Stevens Point 1    Bottom 6th

-Point's Brad Frank breaks up Whitewater's Aaron Dott's no hitter with one out in the Bottom of 5th inning on a solo HR. 

-Whitewater's Matt Schliewe had a solo HR of his own in the Top of the 5th inning.

-Point's Travis Kempf has FIVE hit-by-pitches through six innings, on FIVE different hitters.  Surprisingly, NONE of those extra runners have scored!!!!!!

[OshDude]

WHY IS DOTT STILL IN THERE? Three batters too many ... Frank RBI-single, Schlosser HR, Warwick HR. And now he's out ... Hooper on.

7-2 Point.

[OshDude]

Stewie Larson had a throwing error to make things worse. Stine just got hit in the elbow. Warning issued. Bloom arguing ...
7-5 Point, Stine on 1B, Prather on 2B after two-run double, none out.
Gotta love WIAC baseball.

Zielke gets out of it.
7-5 Point, bottom 7.
