Thanks Mike!!!  Even as of now, there still aren't any stats up. 

Appreciate the report!!  Platteville would sure seem to have the advantage going into todays DH still having Osmanski available.

As soon as we get them from Superior, we'll put them up. Appropriately given the weather up there yesterday, their laptop froze after entering the games. If they can't get the computer unlocked, they'll have to type in the games from scratch and send them and post them that way.

BTW, Wil Osmanski was scheduled to start the second game today.

I wasn't trying to imply it was your fault.....  Sorry if it came across that way.

I didn't take it that way. I was just saying for all the advances with stat crew, live stats, etc. we are all still stuck if someone's laptop goes out.

Game One: UWS 11, UWP 8

[OshDude]

Point 13
Stout 6     Final

Oshkosh 12
La Crosse 7    Final

Superior beat Platteville in Game #1, but I do not have the score.

Ohhhh, baby.
EDIT: The openers today eliminate Superior, correct? By my math we're down to the obvious scenarios for UWO and UWP.
I have the Superior/UWO tiebreaker going all the way to La Crosse series.
Nevermind. I'm an idiot. Superior could be 3-1 vs. UWP.

Game two:

Stout 5
Point 3

[cubs]

La Crosse 9
Oshkosh 8     Final/10 Innings

Platteville 10
Superior 5

Platteville gets the #3 seed and birth in the WIAC Tournament via the tiebreaker due to beating Whitewater once.

Another thing worth mentioning, was Mrkvicka coming back with 8 innings of solid relief work (3 runs) after throwing a CG victory yesterday.  I'm sure he earned some respect from a lot of people today.

Any guesses as to what the pitching match-up will be Friday between Platteville and Point?  Would have to think Osmanski would go for Platteville, but who does Point send out?  Delorit didn't face Platteville this season, while Willaims and Lorenz were both able to beat the Pioneers.

[pickleshiner]

They say you have to play to win come tourney time and throw your ace which is Delorit right now but I think Lorenz should start Friday.  Point is going to need Williams and Delorit to win 2 against Whitewater.  I do think Lorenz could beat Whitewater too though so it's a tough choice.  Delorit has been lights out so it would pretty much be a lock for a W with him starting game 1.

[pickleshiner]

Anyone else think in the past 2 weeks how much better Whitewater could have been this year even though they've had an outstanding year?  Just imagine if Dott would've chosen to stay this year and Wong, Petrasko, and Lovera were all on the roster.  You would have Dott, Tincher, Leitner, and Donovan as your top 4 and Hooper as your closer.  On the other hand I was thinking this entire last week about Point and what could've been.  I believe Kyle Barry could've gotten a year of eligibility but chose not too.  They could've had a starting rotation of Delorit, Barry, Williams, and Koback with Van Beck for set up and Lorenz as a closer.  Not that Lorenz did bad as a starter but he could've solidified the bullpen.  If this would've happened this year does anyone else think these two lineups are better than the 2005 lineups for Whitewater and Point?  I know everyone's probably going to say Reinhard made the pitching staff so much better but after he and Tomasaviecz(spelling) they weren't that deep.  Point had J.C. Reinke, Zimmerman, Rickert, and Polomis.

I would like to say 'way-to-go' to Jeff Donovan on producing for his team this season.

See ya' in the playoffs!

That's got to be one of the most heartwarming moments (comment) I can ever remember coming from D O.C.  Touching would be an understatement.  'Way to go' to you!!  +k

[Pat Coleman]

Especially considering the ignorant comments he's made about Donovan in the past.

On Game One UW Superior Wink Pitched CG for the loss vs Byrne & Osmsnski Closed the 9th inn for Plattville.UW Superior couldnt get the bat's going. Game Two Was UW Superior Mike Swanson vs Oppriecht , UW Superior had 2 , 3 run Blast's in the Game for it's 6 run's.. Swanson pitched CG also for UW Superior.. Oppriecht Was chased early ... Which Makes for a Very Interesting Match up's today with Osmanski to start one of the Games..         

It sure would be nice if someone in Superior's athletic department could let the rest of the world know how the games went today.  I'm grateful that the scores are up but is it really so hard to get some box scores up? 

It seems like it is this way every weekend that Superior hosts another WIAC team.  You typically don't get the stats for Saturday's games until Sunday.  On the Platteville website it cites "computer problems in Superior" as the reason for not being able to provide box scores.  Give me a break!!!!

I would love to see what the pitching match-ups were today.  Did Wink throw for Superior?  Did Platteville throw Osmanski?  If either of these guys didn't throw (I would assume they both did) it would definitely give them the advantage heading into tomorrow's DH.

Looking at the other "meaningful" DH from today, I am surprised that Oshkosh was able to not only sweep La Crosse today, but get a pair of complete game victories from two guys not named Kannenberg.  I would assume Kannenberg would throw Game #1 tomorrow, knowing that they need to win both games, but what will Oshkosh do for Game #2?  I would guess it would likely be Wells, but your guess is probably as good as mine.

Regardless of the outcome, Platteville, Oshkosh, Superior, and La Crosse (to a lesser extent after today) fans have to enjoy getting to see meaningful games on the final weekend of the season.

Okay for one thing it's pretty hard to put up box scores when we have no computer in superior. One computer crapped the bed and the other one no one could get it until sunday. So just be happy that you got the scores up!
