BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

I have a hard time seeing Coach Bloom take Fritz out the the #2 spot in the line-up.  If he does, I wouldn't be surprised if he moved up to the lead-off spot, instead of down to the clean-up position. 

Point has plenty of kids with experience to turn to regardless of who/what they happen to bring in as far as recruits/JUCO transfers.

One recruit heading to Point that I can give you is Green Lake LHP Connor McElligot.  He was an Honorable Mention All State selection last season going 9-2 with a 1.75 ERA.  This year he is 6-1 with a 2.80 ERA.  He has 74 K's in 40 Innings Pitched.

Nice to hear Point is getting a left hander.  Hopefully he'll be as good or better as Aaron Dott was at Whitewater.  I agree with you on Fritz because you want to have your best hitter getting as many AB'S as possible but I just don't know who else could be in that important cleanup spot.  I'm banking on Surman to have a huge year next year with no one really looking over his shoulder to steal his spot.  It's going to take Koback some time adjusting to hitting again after not playing this year and probably only pitching for the Rafters this summer.

Wow, One Pointer on the Bullfrog roster with how many Whitewater players?  Hopefully they won't jump him and break his arm.  That's going to be one heck of a team though.  I was hoping Fritz would play for the Rafters.

Good luck to him.  It's a very brave thing that he's doing.  I hope everything goes well and he's wearing a Pointer uniform again soon.

Thanks badgerwarhawk. I should really try to figure out how to do this myself(lol)

Sounds like a good way to get a better scouting report on him for next year!! In the words of Michael Coreleone, keep your friends close but your "enemies" closer!!

So four Warhawks get a scouting report on Delorit... but Delorit gets scouting reports on FOUR Warhawks!  Advantage, Point!

See that former UW-Oshkosh pitcher Ryan Demmin was Pitcher of the Night in the Northwoods League.  Gave up 3 hits and struck out 12.  Very impressive outing.  Also mentions that he had to sit out the season after transferring and wasn't able to pitch for UM-Mankato as they competed in the D2 World Series.  Congrats to him.

Something equally impressive was Cody Koback starting last night for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafter in Right Field after not playing in several months and going 2X4.

The way I see it, 3 Warhawks keep Delorit occupied with nonsense so he can't spy on the 4th Warhawk - with a coordinated effort - Advantage Whitewater!!

I just got back from watching a Division 3 regional final game between Stevens Point Pacelli and Marathon and all I can say is WOW.  I realize this is high school and left handed pitchers can look really good just throwing heat by hitters but Marathon Pitcher Cody Hanke is an absolute stud.  Tall kid with good mechanics and decent offspeed and only a junior.  I was talking to a guy who said he had several offers on the table but didn't clarify for baseball or basketball.  I noticed UWSP coach Bloom at the game and am guessing he has his eyes set on Hanke and sure hope so.  This guy could really help the Pointers in 2 years especially since their losing Delorit and Williams after next year.  Anyone gets a chance next Tuesday take the time to watch this kid pitch at Pacelli in Sectional play.

Thanks Badgerwarhawk.  I'm a PC so I'll give it a shot. Riley Tincher pitched well Wednesday night as well in the Northwoods League.

UWW's Ben Versnik is listed on the MLB.com 2010 DraftTracker. He's the only Wisconsin D-III guy listed.  Here's the players listed from Wisconsin schools or with Wisconsin as their home state.

Of course this doesn't mean others won't be drafted.
