If Superior could win one game today, it would go a LONG way in helping them win the tiebreaker with Oshkosh for the #4 spot in the WIAC Tournament, as UWO dropped all four games to La Crosse.

Oshkosh is practically in a "must-win" situation today, having to beat Platteville twice to put the pressure on Superior to go 3-3 in their final six games.

WIAC Standings (Through April 29th)
La Crosse 18-2
Stevens Point 13-5
Whitewater 10-8
Oshkosh 10-14
Superior 8-12
Stout 6-14
Platteville 5-15

Oshkosh scores two runs in the Top of the 8th inning to take a 10-8 lead, and Troy Mrvicka holds the Pioneers scoreless in the bottom half for the win. The game was called after eight innings by the umpires due to rain. (BTW-If Platteville would have had live stats this weekend, it would have been nice. It was hard to listen to the radio, especially Game #2 on Saturday and Game #2 Sunday. Wild pitches do not cause runs to be unearned.)

Superior needs to win three out of four against Whitewater next weekend to secure the #4 spot in the WIAC Tournament. If they win two games, they would lose out to Oshkosh via the tiebreaker, as Oshkosh beat Stevens Point one time, while the Yellow Jackets went 0-4. (Both teams went 0-4 against La Crosse.)

In a game in which the two teams combined for 32 hits and the lead changed five times the WARHAWKS scored 8 runs over their last three at bats and defeated the Pointers 15-9 in game one of today's doublehitter. Marty Herum had 7 RBIs for the WARHAWKS.

BW-
What happened to DH Samuel Keller? Noticed recently that he hasn't played since early in the season. Safe to say he sustained an injury?

So I guess that makes it official then - the tournament is headed to La Crosse. Does anyone here know when the last time that happened was, if ever? A proud LAX backer here who has immensely enjoyed the ride so far and thinks it can keep going well into May.
A word to the wise - that's graduation week and some hotels are starting to fill up for the weekend. One or both final teams & their fans might be scrambling Saturday night.

Since the WIAC started the Conference Tournament to determine the Pool A bid, the tournament has been held in Whitewater, Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids, and Oshkosh.

WIAC Standings (Through April 30th)
La Crosse 18-2
Stevens Point 13-7
Whitewater 12-8
Oshkosh 10-14
Superior 8-12
Stout 6-14
Platteville 5-15

After scoring 13 runs in a Game #1 rout of Whitewater on Sunday, Stevens Point is held to just 13 runs over the next three games as the Warhawks take three out of four games.

What we know for sure:
-La Crosse will host the WIAC Tournament regardless of what they do this weekend, as they have clinched the #1 seed. Congrats Eagles!!!

-Whitewater and Point will square off in the other opening round game, as they will finish as the #2 and #3 seeds. It's just a matter of who gets the #2 seed and is considered the "home" team.

-Superior needs to win three of four from Whitewater to earn the #4 seed. Two wins or less and Oshkosh will be the #4 seed and face La Crosse.

-Stout and Platteville are eliminated from qualifying for the WIAC Tournament.

Yes your assumption is spot on. He'll apply for a medical redshirt.

Marty Herum goes 5 for 9 with a pair of doubles and 8 RBI on the day. Eric Schmitz finishes the final two innings of game one without allowing a hit or run with a pair of Ks. He starts game two pitching 6.2 scoreless innings allowing 4 hits and striking out 7. Two of three runs scored by the WARHAWKS were lead off batters who got on base after being hit by a pitch.
