BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[TitanBystander]

Base loaded no outs Vs. 2nd & 3rd with one out are two very different situations.  Result of the inning was 0 runs.      

Obviously they are two different situations but none the less 2nd and 3rd with one out is still a situation in which a team will score as often as not.   

You're right - we should have scored, but when the next batter (after an intentional walk) grounds to 2B for the start of a double play, the one out that shouldn't have been gets Point out of the inning unscathed.   If only...If only...If only...I know - you can't base future events on what happened in the past.

The key point of my original message was that the plate umpire screwed the pooch by not paying attention.  That's why the UWO fans were so pissed.  This particular situation most definitely led to runs not getting scored.  I wouldn't blame opposing fans for getting ticked off if it happened to them either.

Hope Rubens can bounce back after a few shaky outings of late. Demmin's probable start looms large tomorrow.

Kanny put in a another full day of work. He's gotta be the UWO MVP so far this year. Maybe not the best numbers on the team, but he's definitely been a lifesaver for a team that could have gone either a way less than two weeks ago.

*Game Two between Whitewater and Platteville suspended with Whitewater leading 7-5, heading into the Top of the 9th.  It will be resumed before the teams regularly scheduled DH Wednesday at 12:30.

With Oshkosh winning all four games over the weekend, it puts a little bit of pressure on Whitewater and Point to take care of business on Monday.  I'm not sure there is another field in the WIAC that could have been played on yesterday, other than Tiedemann.  While the outfield was pretty wet (most balls in the gap had no chance of rolling to the fence) the infield, pitcher's mound, and batters box were in very good shape thanks to the infield tarp.  I have to give creidt to the UWL guys for helping put the tarp on and taking it off.  I've seen other teams in the same situation sit in the dugout and watch, yet still get their tails kicked once the games started.   

Kannenberg finished a solid weekend coming on in relief and picking up the victory throwing 4 1/3 scoreless innings.  He was actually getting loose in the bottom of the 8th in Game #2 just in case things got hairy.  For the weekend, he picked up a pair of victories and a save, to bounce back nicely from the loss in relief to POint on Wednesday.

The question was brought up on Sunday, so I thought this may be a good place to find the answer....  How many WIAC fields have the full infield tarps?  I honestly can't remember, but I thought Whitewater did along with Oshkosh, but I couldn't think of anyone else.

La Crosse sure picked a bad time to go into a deep freeze. 

[cubs]

Only if you are a Whitewater fan did they pick a bad time!!!  If you are a Pointer or Titan fan, the timing couldn't have been better!!!!  

Regardless, in a matter of only NINE days, La Crosse went from 9-3, to 9-11 in WIAC play!!!  Ouch!!!!
