So all I post is scores today, and somehow my karma gets dinged.... Guess i should have just let everyone look up the scores for themselves.

Wasn't me Chief. By the way I'm not that Stout beat Whitewater just the fact they beat Tincher which is tough to do. Kind of surprised that they scored 8 earned on Donovan also. It's looking more and more like the WIAC is wide open this year. I hope Douglas didn't get hurt in that collision at the plate against Oshkosh that's all I can come up with. That would be an enormous blow for Point if he's done.

Not a complaint, an excuse or anything else, but I wonder if there's another team in the country with fewer true home games than Oshkosh's eight. And those home games are on four dates over the course of two weekends? That's a lot of studying in buses and hotels.

While I'm here, thanks for yesterday, Stout Blue Devils. Please do that again today.

Welcome to St. Scholastica's spring every season! There is currently only 9 games left scheduled for lovely Duluth, and they have yet to practice outside yet!

Trailing 3-1 after six Point gets a run in the seventh and eighth and two runs in the ninth to take game one 5-3. Jirschele's two run double was the winner. Williams gets the win. Iverson gets a save.

Stout's live stats either aren't working or the teams aren't playing. They're stuck on yesterday's second game. Ditto Platteville's website.

WARHAWKS win game one 11-5.
Platteville beats Superior 6-4 in their first game.

Have one back (not that I took any...).

I think somebody's been sniping lately. I've lost 5 in the matter of the last few weeks and barely posted. And it was all informational stuff, nothing even remotely edgy.

WARHAWKS take game two 9-5 to salvage three out of four.

Point takes Game 2 in La Crosse 7-6 in 11 innings. Cody Koback with a run scoring double followed by Sean Gerber with a 2 run single to put the Pointers up 7-4 in the top half of the 11th, Cam Seidl came on to close it out after some trouble made it 7-6. Iverson got the win going two innings in relief following starter Joel Delorit who went 8 solid innings.

Huge 4 game sweep by Point. Van Beck/Douglas updates anyone? There's virtually no way Point will play in Superior on Thursday with the snow storm hitting. I'm also guessing Point's field will not be playable until at least next week. Can you imagine if Point-Superior don't play at all this year? Not saying that's 4 wins for Point but I would guess at least 3 without question. What's the ruling again on that? I thought someone had said the games have to be played within 3 days of the first scheduled game.

Justin Lambert (3-1) picked up the win for the WARHAWKS in game one today. Lambert went 6 innings allowing 6 hits, 1 run (unearned) with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. Jack Larson pitched 2 innings giving up 2 hits, 3 runs (1 earned) with a walk and a strikeout. Tom Kerndt finished the last inning surrendering an earned run on no hits, no walks and a strikeout. Dan Putnam led the 13 hit WARHAWK attack going 3x4 (double, 1 RS, 2 RBI). Andrew Eichsteadt had pair of hits in five at bats including a home run (2 RS, 3 RBI). Jeff Donovan (2x4, double) and Dylan Friend (2x4, 1 RS, double) also had multiple hits. Ryan Leavitt, Sam Keller, Jared Fon, Matt Beyer and Travis Wessels all had a RBI. The two teams stranded a total of 25 runners (WW:13, Stout: 12) and a total of 9 hitters were hit by pitches. The WARHAWKS were sloppy defensively committing 5 errors.

Kyle Lee (3-1) started and got the win in game two going 5 innings giving up 5 runs (all earned) on 7 hits with 0 walks and 3 strikeouts. Matthew Roberts (1 hit, 0 runs, 0 walks, 4 strikeouts) and Rob Coe (1 hit, 0 runs, 0 walks, 2 strikeouts) each pitched two innings of relief. Keller led the way offensively going 3x4 (3 RS, 2 RBI, double). Putnam (2x4, 2 RS, 2 doubles), Coe (2x4, 2 RS, 2 RBI) and Donovan (2x5, 1 RS, 2 doubles) all had multiple hits. Fon (2), Beyer and Friend all had RBI. The defense improved significantly without an error.

Coe catches 34 innings and then pitches the final two. He's an iron man. Point let a good one get away.

Last year the games had to made up by Monday. It seems that rule changes about every year or two and I'm not sure what it is this year.

Wasn't there a situation a few years ago where Point was unable to get their Superior games on the books and it ended up costing them in terms of the conference standings? Was that the year that the missed games counted as losses for the teams involved?

brewcrew2008 · April 18, 2011, 08:54:24 PM

From the sounds of it Douglas got hurt on that final play vs Oshkosh, no word on Van Beck. Looking at the forecast it actually doesn't appear as though Superior is in line for much snow somehow, so hopefully Point can get those games in

Not sure about Point, but I know in 2003 Oshkosh ended up "losing" four games after they had a pair of DH's against La Crosse and Superior rained out. Oshkosh finished 17-3, but adding those four losses (Platteville and Superior combined to go 9-36 that season) put them at 17-7, while Whitewater went 19-5 and "won" the WIAC Championship. A few weeks later Oshkosh beat Whitewater to win the Midwest Regional and a berth in the College World Series, so I guess when it was actually played on the field, the results were a bit different.

I believe because of the 2003 season, the standings are now based on the winning percentage of the games that were played, instead of counting them as losses.
