BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[AppletonRocks]

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.

All that purple haze highlighting in a few hundred posts might have caused me to hallucinate.

What was purpose of point throwing Ericsson in game one?  Isn't he their number 3 starter?  I know it worked but they didn't even get to use him again.  Would've thought with 5 to 4 lead in game three they would've given him the ball again.  Instead you get minimal innings out of one of your best.

The purpose?  Umm..... To give yourself the best chance at getting a win?  Or no??

For a guy that watches a lot of Pointer games, you sure don't seem to have a very good understanding of a season being 40+ games....  Why would you even consider bringing a guy back this early in the season?  And even if it crossed your mind, temperatures were far from ideal to bring a guy back after having thrown four innings less than 24 hours earlier. 

Just because Steiny did it for the now defunct Manawa Spurs doesn't make it the norm!!!

I understand your thinking but throw him as a starter than game 3.  I would've put him in when they were up 5 to 4 would've been enormous to get split at whitewater.  Would've had 7 days to rest.

You go for it....  I'll take the team that has a coach that is looking to develop some depth in the first part of the season so that when he is forced to throw more than his Top 3/4 guys at the WIAC Tournament/Regionals guys are more "ready."

The WARHAWKS dropped both ends of yesterday's double header with Concordia - Chicago by scores of 8-5 and 6-5.   

In the first game CU-C went ahead with a run scored on a pair of hits in the first inning and added five more in the third when they pounded out six hits, three of which were doubles, and took advantage of a WARHAWKS throwing error.  The WARHAWKS got on the board in the fourth on Daytona Bryden's RBI single.  Three more WARHAWKS runs scored in the fifth when Jordan Kuczynski's double drove in a pair and Cal Aldridge singled cutting the deficit to 6-4.  The deficit was further reduced to a single run after Dane Burman's sacrifice fly in the sixth.  However the Cougars would add a run in the eighth and another in the ninth.  The WARHAWKS stranded twelve runners in the game.

Hitting: Aldridge: 4x5, 1 RS, 1 RBI; Bryden: 2x4, 1 RBI; Kuczynski: 2x4, 1 RS, 2 RBI, 2B; Burman: 1 RBI
Pitching: Connor Hurst (L, 2-1): 3 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 1 K; Heath Renz: 6 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K.

CU-C also got the first score in game two with an unearned run in the fourth and added four more in the fifth on four hits, an error and a steal of home to go up 5-0.  The WARHAWKS responded with three runs of their own in the bottom of the fifth when Dylan Bersch (1) and Blake Fleischman (2) both singled.  Concordia went up 6-3 with a run in the eighth.  The WARHAWKS rallied in the ninth with a pair on RBI singles from Austin Jones and Burman but came up short when the tying run was stranded in scoring position.

Hitting: Fleischman: 1x5, 2 RBI; Bersch: 1x3, 2 RS, 1 RBI; Jones: 1x5, 1 RBI;  Kuczynski: 1X5, 1 RS; Bryden: 1x2, 1 RS; Justin Wegner: 1 RS
Pitching: Lake Bachar (L, 4-2): 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K; John Olejniczak: 1 IP,  4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K; Matt Langlie: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K; Sam Heilenbach: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K

I tried to warn everyone before the season and no one believed it.  Point may not finish 500 .

You try and warn everyone every season about Point struggling...congratulations, you're right 1 out of 15 times.

I wonder if the high school pissing match between bloom and jirschele had anything to do with point struggling this year.  I've been told by many people that bloom really screwed him good.

The WARHAWKS took both ends of yesterday's twin bill in Platteville by scores of 14-10 (10 innings) and 7-4. 

A single followed by a hit batter set the stage for Austin Jones' RBI double staking the WARHAWKS to a 1-0 lead in the first inning.  That lead doubled in the second when Dane Burman led the inning off with a solo home run.  The Pioneers got on the board with a single run in the fifth and then went ahead 3-2 with a two run home run in the sixth.  The Pioneers increased their lead to 4-2 with a run in the seventh.  The WARHAWKS regained the lead 6-4 in the eighth when Pioneers allowed a single,  walked three hitters and committed a throwing error allowing four unearned runs to score.  Jordan Kuczynski homered in the ninth increasing the lead to 7-4 but the Pioneers took advantage of struggling WARHAWKS relievers, sloppy defense and a double to tie the game sending it to the tenth.  In the tenth the WARHAWKS plated seven runs on three hits, three Pioneer errors and Cal Aldridge's two run home run.  Blake Fleischman (3) and Dlyan Bersch (1) also had RBIs in the inning.  Platteville came up with three runs in their half of the inning.

Hitting: Fleischman: 3x6, 2 RS, 3 RBI, 2B; Jones: 3x6, 1 RS, 1 RBI, 2B; Aaron Markley: 3x4, 1 RS; Kuczynski: 2x4, 2 RS, 1 RBI, HR; Aldridge: 2x5, 1 RS, 2 RBI, HR; Burman: 1x4, 3 RS, 1 RBI, HR; Helbing: 1x4, 1 RS; Bersch: 1 RS, 1 RBI.
Pitching: Morgan: 7 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K; Renz (W, 2-0): 2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K; Olejniczak: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K; Jones: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K.


Trent Diekvoss's two out solo home run in the second gave the WARHAWKS an early 1-0 lead which increased to 4-0 in the third when Cal Aldridge's shot cleared the fence and drove in three.  Platteville plated three unearned runs in the fourth to pull within a run but the WARHAWKS matched those runs with three of their own in the fifth when Aldridge, 1 RBI, and Diekvoss, 2 RBI, hit back to back doubles with two outs.  Platteville added the final run in the sixth. 

Hitting: Diekvoss: 2x3, 1 RS, 3 RBI, 2B, HR; Aldridge: 1x3, 2 RS, 3 RBI, HR;  Helbing: 1x4, 1 RS, 1 RBI, 2B; Kuczynski: 1x5, 2 RS.
Pitching: Shah (W, 3-0): 7 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K;  Heilenbach (Sv 2): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K.

Looks like La Crosse will have a two game lead over Whitewater after two weeks of WIAC play....

The "battle" looks like it will be between Stout, UWO and Point for final two spots in the WIAC tournament, as all three teams sit at 3-5 after two (of five) "rounds" of WIAC play.
