BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

Thanks, Dagger! I was at both the UWW and UWSP skirmishes at UWO. If I recall correctly didn't Kevin T. come into the game (which was a blowout, right?) late out of the pen? That's the red flag for me, if I remember it correctly, of course. Why in the world would an All-American future draft pick see the mound in that situation? Loved the part of T high-tailing it out of there. I didn't see that part. Last I saw of him, he was ducking and getting partially disrobed.

It's a good thing Shere's shoulder caught some of it before his face did. There was so much going on that it overwhelmed my senses. I didn't know which fight to watch. The ones I chose to watch were pretty savage, baseball fight or otherwise.

I won't forget seeing a major leaguer earning a pension get taken away in a squad car for fighting in a D-III game. Getting Henry out of your dugout was quite a battle too. What a drama-filled day that was! And I'm with you; I saw some crazy heat-of-the-moment stuff that doesn't need to be detailed. I was/am just curious, like I'm sure we all are, what it was like to be on the field during something like that. Well, that and your gameplan for survival and whatnot.

So you stayed clear of Vince, Korey and Lucas? Good call. Self-preservation is a great human instinct, isn't it?

I thought of one for Fritz. Gonna have to announce "earmuffs" for it, though.

If it has anything to do with what happened in WW last year, lets not go there.

LOL. I have no idea what you're referencing, but something tells me I'd like to know.

anybody that witnessed the uww-uwsp game...please enlighten me! Thanks

Point lost game 1 7-2. Whitewater pulled their starter early after Surman hit a 2 run homer and brought in a lefty that shut us down. Game 2 Point was winning 7-2 in the 7th and Zielke walked 2 guys, hit a batter, and gave up a grand slam. Whitewater tied it up in the top of the 9th as Point brought in Hemmy and he gave up a solo shot. Next guy doubled and unfortunately I had to leave. Point in the bottom of the 8th really hit the ball hard but right to the outfielders. I'm assuming Point lost game 2 but don't know for sure. Momentum was in Whitwater's favor and Point had the bottom coming up in the 9th. Rob Coe absolutely killed Point today with the bat. 2 doubles and a HR 5 RBI'S.

I wasn't there, but it appears the UWO defense led to a split against St. Norbert, which scored four unearned runs (five errors) off Ryan Demmin (8 IP, 3 H, 4 BB, 1 HBP, 4 R, 0 ER, 2 E) in a 5-4 win in the opener. Jeremy Rubens got the loss after ceding a two-out RBI triple in the ninth. Tony Jandron stuck out 12 Titans and drove in two runs. UWO twice came from behind to win game 2, 7-4.

EDIT: Wish I would have known you were on it, BoBo!

La Cosse sweeps Superior 14-4 in 8 innings and 14-5. UWL has won 16 straight games (46 out of the last 47, too) over the Yellowjackets.

BoBo · April 04, 2009, 10:23:56 PM

Platteville and Stout split at Menomonie...Stout taking the first game 13-9, the Pioneers winning game two, 16-3 in 7 inninings. UW-P second baseman Jason Jacobson had nearly a perfect day at the plate, going 9-10 on the day, including a Platteville school record 6 for 6 in the opener. Stout had 4 players with 2 or more hits in game 1, including Brandon O'Connell with 2 HR's and 6 RBI's. Hitters day at Stout.

From what I saw at Point against UWW: Game 1 was similar to last weekend against St Norberts in game 1. Point couldn't hit the ball and the defense struggled. In game 2 the bats came alive and put some runs on the board. Unfortunately they couldn't hold on to the lead.

Looks like they could have played both today, too bad they canceled, because tomorrow looks like bad news.

No make up date was scheduled when Sunday's games were canceled.

bw, Points website indicates a monday April 6 make-up for the sunday DH.

badgerwarhawk · April 06, 2009, 09:49:25 AM

Yesterday WHITEWATER'S website indicated that no make up date had been scheduled but checking it today I noticed they've corrected that. I thought it was odd that they wouldn't try to get it in today.

So the WARHAWKS could play two today, two tomorrow, two Friday and two Saturday. Eight games in six days. I wonder if they might cancel the Tuesday nonconference doublehitter against Carroll University. That's a lot of stress on a pitching staff.

Dagger · April 06, 2009, 09:53:53 AM

have they changed the ridiculous conference rule yet, that if they don't make it up today that those two games are lost? I can't believe that rule has stood for as long as it has, just doesn't make any sense to me, but what can you do I guess. That could really really hurt point in the end, but I guess it could go both ways and really help them if they were to lose two more should they be played so I guess it's kind of a catch 22. This happened to them a couple years ago (missed two conf. games) and it almost cost them dearly come postseason, because of the percentage points in the end...I believe it was platteville, and this is not the triple header weekend that was two years ago, this was the year before that...so 3 years ago I suppose. Hopefully they get played today or some other time.

Looks like weather will not be an issue today in Stevens Point. The weather channel website said it will be a bit windy but no precipitation of any kind is in the forecast. I am in Wausau, which is 30 minutes north of Point, and it's clear skies with a little breeze, usually the weather isn't much different between here and Point. Too bad it wasn't like this yesterday, I would've been able to stay and watch. Oh well maybe I am bad luck. Anyway first pitch is at 1pm, GO POINTERS!
