Point opened their season on the wrong end of a 5-3 score to Oglethorpe. A seventh inning two run home run was the difference. It was Oglethorpe's first win over a ranked opponent since April 2004. The WARHAWKS dropped the first game of a double hitter against St Olaf 3-2.

badgerwarhawk · March 20, 2011, 11:37:18 AM

The WARHAWKS came back to split their double hitter with St Olaf by winning game two 7-2.

In the first game St Olaf took a 1-0 lead with a run in the top of the first. The WARHAWKS came back to tie the game in the fourth on Jeff Donovan's RBI double. St Olaf regained the lead with a unearned run in their fourth inning at bat. Andrew Eichstaedt's sacrifice fly tied the game 2-2 in the sixth but St Olaf pushed a run across in the bottom of the seventh for the 3-2 win. Riley Tincher (1-1) took the loss giving up all three runs (2 ER) on 8 hits, 0 bb and 2 ks.

A Rob Coe double in the bottom of the first put the WARHAWKS on top 1-0 in game two. A little bit of everything (HBP, Error, hits (2) and BB (2)) led to six runs in the sixth inning. St Olaf scored single runs in the sixth and seventh. Coe was 3x3 (1 RS, 4 RBI) while Donovan, Dan Putnam and Sam Keller all had RBIs. Donovan went six innings on the mound surrendering 1 run (ER) on 3 hits , 0 bb and struck out 6. Eric Schmitz pitched an inning of relief surrendering a run (ER) on 2 hits.

Game one of the Oshkosh/Wooster series went to the Titans 5-3. Oshkosh lost to Carthage 6-1.

Superior lost to Chicago 10-3.

Oshkosh improves to 3-1 after sweeping a DH from Wooster today. Luke Westphal and Andrew Murphy pick up the victories, while Troy Mrkvicka notches his second and third saves of the season (all against Wooster.)

If you told the UWO faithful last week they were going to win three out of their first four games (knowing they were facing Carthage and Wooster three times) I think most would take it.

After a couple of "off days" UWO faces Wooster and Carroll on Thursday.

The Oshkosh scores were 7-2 and 2-1.

The WARHAWKS beat St Thomas 7-6. A four run first inning got the WARHAWKS rolling. RBI doubles by Matt Beyer and Travis Wessel accounted for three of the runs. A sacrifice fly from Jeff Donovan plated the fourth run. St Thomas came back with four of their own in their first at bat as starting pitcher Jack Larsen was unable to complete the inning and was relieved by Kyle Lee. A pair of WARHAWK runs in the third, thanks to an RBI single from Matt Meisenheimer, regained the lead and a fourth inning sacrifice fly from Beyer added a 7th run. St Thomas added single runs in both the fourth and sixth innings.

Larsen got the start but lasted only .2 inning giving up 4 runs (2 ER) on 3 hits, 1 bb and 1 K. Lee got the win in relief going 8 innings surrendering 7 hits, 2 runs (2 ER), while walking and striking out 3 batters. Colin Grove got a save pitching .1 inning.

Beyer went 2 x4 (double, 2 RS, 3 RBI). Andrew Eichstaedt also had two hits in three at bats (double, 2 RS). Wessels, Donovan and Meisenheimer (2) each had RBI.

I think the Titans are being overlooked this year. There is a reason I keep voting them in my top 25 every week. The WIAC could be looking at three NCAA teams.

I am impressed with three in a row vs Wooster.

Stevens Point took a pair from Fontbonne by identical 3-1 scores.

Wooster is a good program so I was surprised to see that they are 5-6 on the season.

Point dropped a game to Allegheny 10-6 today.

The UW-Whitewater baseball team ran its record to 5 & 1 on the season following an 8-6 victory over Mt. Vernon Nazarene (Ohio) this morning in Auburndale, Florida.

Rob Coe continued his torrid pace at the plate with 3 RBI on a 2 for 5 day at the plate. The senior catcher from Appleton has driven in 14 runs in his team's first seven games of the season.

The WARHAWKS left runners in scoring position on base, 11 total, in every inning except the fifth and ninth dropping a game to St Thomas by a 6-4 score. The WARHAWKS led 3-1 after three innings but St Thomas plated five runs in the fourth to go up 6-3. WHITEWATER added a run in the eighth but came up short. Jeff Donovan went 3x5 with a triple and 3 RBI. Travis Wessel also had 3 hits in 4 at bats and Dan Putnam went 2x5 with an RBI. Matthew Roberts took the loss going 4 innings surrendering 6 runs (4 ER) on 6 hits with a walk and 3 Ks. Colin Grove continued pitching well going the remaining 5 innings with allowing a run and just 2 hits with a walk and 3 Ks.

The WARHAWKS wrap up their Florida trip with a game against a Minnesota minor league team on Wednesday and open up the home portion of the schedule with a single game against Concordia Morehead Friday and a double hitter against Bethel Saturday.

In a big Midwest Region match-up today, Point sweeps St. Thomas 4-2 and 9-0. I don't have any oter details, so who knows what the pitching match-ups looked like.

Just Bill · March 23, 2011, 08:42:31 PM

Everyone that had "St. Thomas opens the season 2-8" on their D3Baseball prediction card, please raise your hand... Yeah, I didn't think so.

Oshkosh completes the 4-game sweep of Wooster today with a 17-1 drubbing, as they pound out 22 hits.

Matt Wells with the CG victory allowing five hits and striking out five in nine innings of work. Derek Hiroskey leads the way offensively going 6x6 with 2 doubles and 6 RBI while JUCO transfer Alex Mullendore tallies the first HR of the season for the Titans. JUCO transfer Kyle Van Abel was the only starter without a hit, as he goes 0x5. Every other starter had two or more hits.

You gotta love the fact that Wooster was stealing in the 9th inning down 17-0.
