BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[cubs]

After a lackluster performance Friday, the Titans got their one win that they needed (plus another). Wasn't a save situation but Tomasiewicz went to Sabel to seal the deal. Will be an interesting conference tournament as usual. I want to see what happens if the Titans can jump out to a lead against UW-L and get the ball in Sabel's hands. If UW-O can win the first one I wouldn't be surprised to see them win the tournament.

Exact opposite as Cordova/Kohlwey combine to give UWL a 1-0 lead over ShineTime All American Messenger in the first inning....

UWL has pounded out 10 hits in the first four innings to take a 6-0 lead....

I've been told the conditions are horrible.  Can you confirm that? 

[cubs]

No idea on the conditions.....

If they are bad, they apparently didn't affect the La Crosse hitters, as they pound out 17 hits in six innings for a 14-4 "mercy rule" victory over UWO.

Boushley gives up three HR's, but manages to throw yet another CG.

Stevens Point takes a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the 8th inning, however Erickson appears to "run out of gas" as Whitewater scores a pair of runs to tie things up 3-3 as the game heads to the 9th inning...

Point blew a great performance from Erickson seems whitewater always finds a way against point another one point let get away.

Are they filming this through a coke bottle using dial-up?

After Point takes a 4-3 lead in the Top of the 10th, Whitewater scores a pair in the bottom half for the walk-off 5-4 victory....

Point will face UWO in an elimination game, while Whitewater will square off with La Crosse for a berth in the championship game.

Clint Rose can't handle about the easiest double play ball you could get that would have ended the game for a Point win....pretty much the story of their season.

I'm sure BW will supply the DETAILS but in watching the Hawks and Point, to me it looked like a couple of young teams battling it out.  Promising, but young nonetheless.  Erickson threw a great game until he tired and he kept the UW-W hitters off balance for the most part.  Morgan had to battle constantly because Point was doing a good job of getting on base, but he kept UW-W in the game. The two kids from Germantown at the top of the lineup for UW-W came up big late in the game. It was a good game, but a tough loss for Point, who had this one in their grasp. Have to be impressed with UW-W's will to win, though.

Apparently 2400 baud is the bomb in Lacrosse.

The story of points season was when their all american pitcher luke watson decided he couldn't pitch any more.  Just an unbelievable situation.  Have to wonder if he could've gotten the save last night.

Read this, googled it, laughed.  To save the rest of you a google search, the 2400 baud is a modem. I saw a story where this beast "finally" became affordable, going under $100. And I saw the article was from 1987.  Whether the WIAC or UW-L, either ought to be ashamed for charging for something of such poor quality. And I should be ashamed that I will probably purchase it again this afternoon.

Well, it it wasn't UWL, but UWO gave the ball to Sabel with a three run lead in the bottom of the 9th inning, and Sabel was able to do just enough to hold the lead as UWO eliminates Stevens Point 8-7.

UWO will await the loser of La Crosse and Whitewater....

UWSP's offseason priorities need to be finding some pitching depth....and finding a catcher.....watching UWSP run pitchouts at the correct time to still not be able to throw out the runner is frustrating.

Next year it seems that behind Erickson, the rotation is pretty inconsistent.  Need to find some reliable guys behind him.  Most of the lineup is back, not sure if that's a good thing at this point but atleast they have experience together.

[ShineTime]

Erickson is definitely a good building block but there's a lot of work to be done point had guys starting this year that wouldn't have even made the roster of some of the great point teams I do like Greco rose Diedrich  and doornik hanke will be missed but honestly didn't have the best year.
