Game one:
WARHAWKS (6-1): 16
St Thomas: 5

Neither team was able to score in the first four frames as pitching dominated holding the two teams to a combined 4 hits.  The fifth inning however was a different story as the WARHAWKS offense put a five spot on the board. Daytona Bryden opened the scoring with an RBI triple and Casey Power's grand slam added four more.  The Tommies bottom fell out in the sixth inning as the WARHAWKS sent sixteen batters to the plate and scored eleven runs off three Tommy pitchers.  Bryden started things with an RBI single and Nick Kuhlmann followed with another single that drove in two more.  Kyle Haen doubled in a run and another run scored when Adam Gregory walked.  After Mike Mierow's fielders choice scored a run Will Helbing doubled in two more and Kuhlman hit a three run home run in his second at bat in the inning.  As a team the WARHAWKS had seven hits in the inning.  St Thomas got on the board with an RBI single in the sixth and added four more on another RBI single and a three run home run in the seventh.  Because the two teams were playing a double header the game was scheduled for seven innings.

The WARHAWKS struck early with a single run in the first inning.  Kyle Haen drew a walk, advance to second on a wild pitch and scored when Casey Power singled.  That run stood until the top of fifth when the Tommies strung together three hits and evened the score 1-1.  It didn't take long for the WARHAWKS to retake the lead however.  In the bottom of the inning Jordan Kuczynski opened the inning with a single.  When Kyle Haen's bunt was misplayed Kuczynski advanced to third on the error and both runners advanced, Kuczynski scoring, when that was followed by a wild pitch.  Casey Power's RBI single drove in Haen and staked the WARHAWKS to a 3-1 lead. That lead stood when Grove retired six of the last seven Tommies he faced.

That is pretty cool, cubs.  An incredibly special moment for the family.  And it sounds like Justin is moving up the minor league ladder.  Good luck to him. 

Thanks for providing the link.

Keuka: 3
WARHAWKS (8-1): 11

The WARHAWKS concluded their spring trip to Florida with an 11-3 win over Keunka College.  Six runs in the first inning proved to be all the runs the WARHAWKS would need.  Daytona Bryden scored the first run on after he walked and stole both second and third before scoring on a fielding error.  Mike Mierow drove in two more with a double.  Steve Chamberlain drove in a pair with his single and Jordan Kuczynski closed the scoring with an RBI single.  Keuka got a single run in the third on 4 hits but the WARHAWKS increased their lead to 9-1 in the fourth with a solo home run from Mikole Pierce, an RBI single by Mierow and when a throwing error brought Adam Gregory home.  Keuka cut the deficit to 9-3 with a pair of runs on three hits in the fifth.  The WARHAWKS finished the scoring with solo runs in the seventh and eighth on sacrifice flys by Bryden and Gregory.

Game One:
St. Scholastica: 0
WARHAWKS (9-1): 4

Both teams were able to put runners in scoring position but neither could get the clutch hit to drive them in.  CSS left runners in scoring position in the second, sixth and seventh innings while the WARHAWKS had them in scoring position in the first, fourth, sixth and seventh.  Finally in the bottom of the eighth inning, following a pitching change, the WARHAWKS pushed all four of their runs across the plate.   A pair of walks prompted the Saints pitching change and Mikole Pierce promptly tripled driving in both runners.  Casey Power followed that with a two run home run to round out the scoring.  CSS loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth but Mike Nompleggi coaxed the final out on a line drive to center field. 

Pitching: Curtis Morgan: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K; Jon Olejnicak (W 3-0): 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K; Heath Renz: 0.2, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K; Mike Nompleggi (S-2): 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K.

Game Two:
St. Scholastica: 1
WARHAWKS (10-1): 4

CSS opened the scoring with a run in the first inning when a single was followed by an RBI double.  The WARHAWKS quickly tied the score in their first at bat when Casey Power singled driving in Kyle Haen who had singled and advanced to scoring position on a wild pitch.  The WARHAWKS threatened again in the third placing runners on second and third with one out but were unable to score and the game remained tied 1-1 until the bottom of the sixth.  A base on balls and hit batter put a runner in scoring position and Will Helbing drove in a run with a single.  With one out and the bases loaded Jordan Kuczynski's ground out to shortstop drove in a second run staking the WARHAWKS to 3-1 lead.  Mike Mierow's RBI in the seventh drove in the game's final run as CSS's last nine hitters were retired in order.

Here's a question how many games will whitewater lose in wiac this year?  I'm predicting 2 or less.

[ShineTime]

Am I allowed to move Point up to 2nd now for my predictions?  Point thumps Stout 12-0 in game 1.  Of course Cubs was spot on and Beau is very capable number 1/2 pitcher.

So when are you going to start listening to me then?

[cubs]

If messenger took the loss it would be 1 more loss than I expected on the season.

Chalk up another loss for Messenger, as La Crosse sweeps Oshkosh today...

BTW-Name to keep an eye on?  Pitcher Caleb Boushley of La Crosse.  I remember watching him in high school and then wondered where he ended up going when I didn't see his name anywhere last season.  Appears he was at UW-Fox Valley before enrolling at La Crosse this season.

Point, Whitewater, and La Crosse all out to 2-0 WIAC starts, while Oshkosh, Superior and Stout all start 0-2...

[ShineTime]

Boushley really gives lacrosse a solid 1 2 punch with cejka.  Point always seems to struggle with cejka.  Who will point throw out tomorrow I'm guessing prebelski and Erickson.
