Is doornik also injured.  Game 2 has 10 run rule written all over it.  Morgan is dominant and point is starting off playing poorly

Has been injured, but pinch hit in game two today.

Miller vs Morgan for game 2 between UWSP and UWW.  Watson not pitching today makes me think he's injured again.

Quick hook for Miller....  Spaeth comes in to start the second inning, and had two "clean" innings before Whitewater strung together two hits and a walk after two were out in the 4th inning to take a 3-1 lead.

Alex Thompson now in for Spaeth and gave up a leadoff double in the 5th.

I wonder if there was even a thought of starting Erickson game 2 he probably could've gone 5 and was looking good in game 1.

The old "The season is a marathon, not a sprint" comes to mind....  Why would you even think about bringing a kid back after a thirty minute rest in the FIRST conference DH of the season?!?!?!? 

[cubs]

Looks like La Crosse will be out to an early lead in the WIAC race after the first DH's of the season.... 

The Eagles swept a pair from Platteville, both via the "mercy" rule, while UWO and Stout split their DH.  It appears Whitewater and Point are likely to split their DH as well.

[ShineTime]

Well with Watson done and dornick not living up to expectations it looks like point is for sure locked in to 4th or 5th.  Obviously it was huge to beat whitewater once especially Bachar.  Lacrosse and whitewater are just too good and Oshkosh is going to really getter better with each game.  I don't think anyone had said anything but where did Brandon Kranz and bryton guckenburg go I know they each had a year left I was figuring on Kranz being their number 3 batter.

So Point splits a DH against a previously undefeated Whitewater team, the #2 team in the country AT Whitewater mind you, yet you make it sound like Point was just got mercy-ruled twice like Platteville.

You might want to go back to Kegler's and see if you can find some perspective, as you are obviously lacking it!!!!

Our games with Point are always tough and competitive.  They're not a bad team and you can't throw the ball around like Little League and expect to beat them.   

The WARHAWKS opened the scoring with a run in their first at bat when, with two outs, Dane Burman doubled and Cal Aldridge hit an RBI single.  But Point took the lead for good with four runs, three unearned, in the third when they strung two hits, two WARHAWKS throwing errors, a hit batter and a passed ball together.  The WARHAWKS closed the gap to a single run with a pair in the fifth when Daytona Bryden and Steve Chamberlain each hit RBI singles.  Point added an insurance run in the eighth on another WARHAWKS throwing error and finished the scoring with three runs in the ninth.

Hitting: Bryden: 2x3, 1 RBI; Chamberlain: 1x4, 1 RBI; Aldridge: 1x4, 1 RBI; Austin Jones: 2x4, 2B; Burman: 1x4, 1 RS, 2B.
Pitching: Lake Bachar (L, 4-1): 8 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 K; John Olejniczak: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K.


A Pointer throwing error on Bryden's steal of second advanced him to third and Blake Fleischman singled down the right field line to drive in the first run of the game in the first and that lead stood to the third inning.  Point opened the inning with a single, followed with a sacrifice bunt, got back to back walks and hit a sacrifice fly ato tie the game.  The WARHAWKS got all the runs they would need in the fourth on Dane Burman's 2 RBI double.  Two more WARHAWKS run scored in the fifth on an RBI triple by Cal Aldridge and a sacrifice fly by Trent Diekvoss.  The final WARHAWKS run was scored in the seventh when Justin Kuczynski and Aldridge hit back to back doubles.  After a shaky second inning and some control issues in the third inning Morgan got in a rhythm and faced one batter over the minimum in his final five innings.  He was as sharp as I've ever seen him in that stretch.

Hitting: Aldridge: 3x4, 1 RS, 3 RBI, 2B, 3B; Burman: 2x5, 2 RBI; Fleischman: 2x5, 1 RS, 1 RBI:; Diekvoss: 1 RBI; Chamberlain: 2x5; Kuczynski: 1x3, 1 RS, 2B; Austin Jones: 1x4, 1 RS, 2B.
Pitching: Curtis Morgan (W, 3-1): 8 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K; Heath Renz: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K.

It was a good bounce back win.  After losing the first game this one had to be a W.  Point used six pitchers with five of them only pitching a single inning.  It's damp down here today.  Scattered, intermittent rain is forecast.

Shocking....I didn't think Whitewater would lose this year based on this message board's recent discussion. 

[cubs]

It's going to be a long season for point.  The defense is very mediocre and I'd be very concerned about scoring runs also.  Teams know they can pitch around hanke all year.  Did anyone else notice point only has 10 home games this year?  Will anyone even get 5 home runs this year?  As far as Oshkosh is concerned I feel they can bounce back in the wiac now that it appears lacrosse and point will be down.  Is it possible stout or platteville finish second?

Well, with Platteville getting swept twice to go 0-4 over the weekend, I don't think you have to worry about them finishing in second place... 

You can probably forget about Stout finishing in second place either as they are on their way to a 1-3 start trailing UWO 6-0 after three innings.

[Brian R. Carroll]

La Crosse outclassed Platteville in a 4 game sweep. Only today's opener was competitive as the Eagles rode strong pitching to a 6-1 victory. The Eagles appear to be hitting their stride.

[badgerwarhawk]

The WARHAWKS took both ends of today's twin bill with Point by scores of 12-6 and 7-1.  Austin Jones's three run home run put the WARHAWKS on the board in the first inning of game one.  But Point cut the deficit to a single run with single runs in both the second and third innings.  The WARHAWKS matched the Pointers' third inning run with their own when Blake Fleischman hit a solo home run in the bottom of the innings.  Neither team scored in the fourth but the Pointers tied the game with two in the fifth and took a 5-4 lead with a single run in the sixth.   The WARHAWKS blew the game open with seven runs in the seventh inning. Alex Hallenbeck doubled in the first run and a triple by Fleischman drove in another pair.  Dane Burman hit a two run home run, another run scored on an error and the final run scored when Cal Aldridge doubled.  Daytona Bryden led off the eighth with a double and scored the final WARHAWKS run when Steve Chamberlain singled.  The Pointers added a run in the ninth on three singles. 

Hitting: Fleischman: 3x5, 3 RS, 3 RBI, 3B, HR; Austin Jones: 1x3, 2 RS, 3 RBI; Burman: 2x3, 2 RS, 2 RBI, HR; Aldridge: 3x4, 1 RBI 2B, 2B; Hallenbeck: 1x3, 1 RS, 1 RBI, 2B; Bryden: 2x5, 2 RS, 3B.
Pitching: Mike Nompleggi: 4.2 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K; Connor Hurst (W, 2-0): 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K; Heath Renz: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K; Riley Gruetzmacher: 1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K.


The WARHAWKS scored a pair of runs in the second inning of game two.  Singles by Aldridge and Bryden sandwiching a walk loaded the bases with two outs and Fleischman doubled in both runs.  Fleischman drove in another run in the fourth  Three hits strung together in the sixth pushed two more WARHAWKS runs across.  Burman and Chamberlain each had RBIs.  Two Pointer errors coupled with a pair of WARHAWKS hits gave the WARHAWKS their final two runs in the eighth.  Point scored their run in the ninth when they strung back to back two out hits together with three passed balls. 

Hitting: Fleischman: 2x3, 3 RBI, 2B; Chamberlain: 2x5, 2 RBI, 2B; Burman: 1x5, 1 RS, 1 RBI; Bryden: 2x3, 1 RS; Jordan Kuczynski: 2x5, 2B; Aldridge: 1x2, 2 RS; Justin Wegner: 1x4, 2 RS, 2B.
Pitching: Ankur Shah (W, 2-0): 6 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K; Heath Renz: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K; Matt Langlie: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K.

Shocking....I didn't think Whitewater would lose this year based on this message board's recent discussion.

Which posts led you to that conclusion?  I know ShineTime mentioned UW-W and UW-L in the same sentence. But that's hardly interpretable as indicating a potential undefeated season.
