Dylan Friend's solo home run puts the WARHAWKS ahead 1-0. 

He's hit the ball well the last two days.

I don't understand Whitewater's philosophy in starting Lambert against Point.  They gambled against Oshkosh and it worked so why not throw your #1 or #2?  Oshkosh must have just thrown in the towel you have Schreiber, Reubens, and Westphal and you don't throw any of them?  Why even have the WIAC tourney if teams aren't going to play to win? 
Yeah, Oshkosh just showed up to get their arses kicked twice.....  It's comments like those that got on peoples nerves when you made them in previous seasons.  If you had ever played college athletics, you'd think twice before saying that about a group of players.  Oshkosh needed to win three games to make it to Regionals, and they are hoping that Westphal, Schreiber, and Rubens can get it done today.

I guess Westphal isn't pitching to win today either, making one mistake to Friend while giving up just two hits through nine innings and striking out 10 Warahwks.   ::)

Titans execute a squeeze bunt in the bottom of the ninth and get the win 2-1.  Westphal was outstanding.

The WARHAWKS just gave the selection committee a reason to screw with us.

Just out of curiousity....  Is the All Conference voting already completed before the WIAC Tournament?  I know they don't announce it until next week, but I was wondering if they vote on it before or after the tournament.  While Oshkosh didn't finish at the top of the standings, one could make a legitimate case for Westphal as the Pitcher of the Year.  In 8 appearances (all starts) he was 7-0 with an ERA around 1.30.  This includes two victories pver Whitewater.  I'm sure either Williams, Donovan, or Tincher will win it, but Westphal has the numbers to put him in the discussion.  If he would have gotten an start and victory over Stevens Point, he might have had a better chance.

UWSP finishes it off with a 10-0, 7-inning win over UW-Oshkosh.

I think it's already been voted on.  During the WARHAWK/Oshkosh game they mentioned that Riley Tincher was voted the scholar/athlete award.  That would suggest to me that he wasn't voted the pitcher of the year.  I think Williams will get that.  Westphal was outstanding and he certainly had to be mentioned in the discussion.  He may have been the best pitcher in the league this year.  Unfortunately he didn't play for the best team.   If he had I don't think there would have been much more to discuss.

Does anyone know why the home plate area on Steven Point's baseball diamond is elevated?  I've never seen that in another park.

I haven't been there in person since the re-did the field, but that's not apparent on any of the videos I have seen this year.

It's elevated about 6 inches or so.

Water runoff... plate stays more playable when it rains. As long as the plate and mounds are useable, most times the rest is manageable.
Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

I think Big Poppa's probably right. It just might be for some reason it's more pronounced or more apparent to the eye at UWSP.

Darn cubs, you beat me to it by five minutes.  I figured you'd be particularly pleased by the pitcher of the year selection. Very deserving he had a great year.

Not going to lie, I've been checking the WIAC site quite a bit today!!!!  Was also glad to see Jeremy Rubens make the 1st Team as well.  He's fought through a lot of injuries and when healthy he was as good as anyone in the WIAC the last few years.

Rubens deserved the recognition.  

One thing that surprised me was Fritz going from POY last year to honorable mention this year.
