Point with a bit of a statement win perhaps as they take game one 11-1 in 7 innings...Point pounds out 14 hits and Frederick goes the distance for the win

Anyone have the specifics on the Oshkosh-Whitewater ejection after what I heard was a questionable call? I always regret not being able to make UWO/UWW games. They're usually interesting.

EDIT: According to Jeff Potrykus's Twitter, UWW hit a fly to left that bounced on the track and over the wall. Ruled a home run.

Lechnir gets tossed,
Long fly ball to left, clearly bounces on the track and goes over, runner even stops at second and Whitewater coach tells him to keep running and he scores. Everybody in the park except the umpires see the ball bounce and go over. Brief discussion between the umps but it's ruled an HR, Lechnir runs out and rips into home plate ump and gets tossed. Talked to a few WW players after the game and they even said they knew it bounced but karma ruled and UWO ended up winning. Sindles threw 5.1 stellar innings and if not for the terrible call probably would have kept going. Should be fun tomorrow!

Oh ya and congrats to Mickey Fadness for his first coaching win! He took over after Lechnir got tossed.

Nope. The win still goes on Lechnir's record. Mickey will have to wait.  :D

It was clearly a ground rule double.  I'm not positive but I think Lechnir may have made contact with the umpire in the course of their discussion.  The same umpire later prevented the winning run from scoring when he ruled a WHITEWATER batter stepped on the plate when he bunted in the bottom of the tenth. 

Though it doesn't matter if you check the play by play you'll see that the run would have scored in the inning had it been correctly ruled a ground rule double.   Regardless it was clearly a blown call. 

It was ironic that the winning run in the second game scored on a third out strikeout that got away from the catcher because both teams made several outstanding defensive plays in the course of the game.

Point hands La Crosse game one...down 1 in the 8th La Crosse plates two runs on 3 Point errors. Point came back to tie it in the bottom of the 9th only to watch La Crosse score 2 runs in the 10th that was set up by an error with 2 outs and no one on, then a single with an error to allow the first run to score. Iverson takes the loss despite going 3.2 and only giving up 2 hits but 4 runs all unearned. Lauersdorf picked up the win in relief for La Crosse

Oshkosh takes game two at WW 8-6 to earn a series split.

Fadness now 2-1 as Lechnir had to sit out both games at WW for bumping the ump after the blown HR call yesterday,  go Mick!

Still nope. Wins by a substitute coach due to a suspension also go to the head coach. NCAA rules. I feel like such a killjoy.

Lechnir was suspended for three games.  So he will also have to sit out the first game of their next double hitter.  IMO that penalty was excessive.

WIAC Standings (Through April 6th)
La Crosse 6-2
Stevens Point 5-3
Oshkosh 4-4
Stout 4-4
Superior 2-2
Whitewater 2-2
Stout 1-3
Platteville 1-7

Hate to say it, but unless Whitewater or Point go on a run and then lose in the WIAC Tournament, the WIAC may be just a one-bid league this season.... La Crosse having seven in-region losses already seems like a lot.

It's been an odd year as many of the perennial regional teams have had their struggles, but I can't imagine a year where there is only one WIAC team playing in the national tournament.  If there is only one, it would be interesting to see who else would be at that regional.

What's going on with Point?  How do they lose with that lineup especially when the pitching has been solid?
Easy...  The line-up just hasnt been consistent.

Doesn't hurt that SNC doesn't start the conference portion of their schedule until Saturday, while Stevens Point is coming off a four game series with La Crosse and have a WIAC DH against Oshkosh Wednesday.  SNC is able to throw their top three guys while Point is starting their #5 and #6 pitchers?
