Whitewater with a four spot in the 5th inning to take a 5-1 lead.

Morgan has been fairly dominant through six innings, which should allow Whitewater to be able to "save" their bullpen.

The 'ole "Kiss of Death" hits Morgan an inning later, as he gives up three runs (zero earned) in the 7th inning and Renz is called in from the bullpen to limit the damage.

Whitewater leads 7-4 heading to the Bottom of the 8th....

Renz ends up throwing 2.1 scoreless innings as Whitewater wins 11-4....

The Warhawks advance to play the loser of Augustana vs WashU tomorrow at 3:00 pm....

La Crosse holds a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the 5th inning, so it appears the two WIAC teams are on their way to a 2-0 start at Regionals.

Ben messenger first team all Wiac. Kid probably would've won 30 to 40 games had he transferred to whitewater or la crosse.

Looking at the Central Regional's website is confusing to me. Maybe someone can help. They won their first game yesterday and play in game #5 today at 3:30. There is nothing on the schedule for a "Loser of Game 5". The other two winners from yesterday play at 7 PM. The loser of that game plays Friday at noon. Did UW-W win their way into an elimination game whereas the other winners from yesterday play on through a loss?

Being the #1 seed they are rewarded with playing a loser in game two.

I might be mistaken, but I believe yhere are typically two different schedules in a 6-team Regional. Which one is followed after Game #6 depends on whether there are one or two undefeated teams remaining.

If a 4.89 ERA is 1st Team All WIAC worthy these days, the quality of pitching in the WIAC has taken a definite nosedive.....

How he was selected over Bachar (2.84 ERA and WIAC leading 81 K's while second in the WIAC in IP) is a head-scratcher....

BTW-Messenger's 4.02 career ERA would tell me 30 to 40 victories is VERY unrealistic......

Little to very little

Whitewater with an early 4-0 lead in the third inning over Augustana. Bachar with the start for the Warhawks.

La Crosse and St. John's to start shortly, as Troy Kenkel gets the start for the Eagles.

badgerwarhawk · May 19, 2016, 05:18:48 PM

Augustana gets a pair in the third on a walk, two hits and a double steal. 4-2 WW after 3.

Whitewater gets those two right back in the Top of the 4th inning to take a 6-2 lead....

Whitewater and la crosse both won big. As bad as point and Oshkosh finished I still feel their better than 50 percent of teams in regionals. I feel like it's a very flawed system but not much u can do. At least point and Oshkosh were competitive in games with la crosse and whitewater. Some of these teams are god awful.

cubs · May 20, 2016, 08:27:57 AM

Big games for both Whitewater and La Crosse today!!!!

If each of them can win, they both secure a spot in the Regional Championship game, needing just one more win to advance to the World Series.

Whitewater has the luxury of sending out a 1st Team All WIAC selection to the mound today in either Shah or Nompleggi. Pretty nice pitching depth when you can still be sending out All WIAC performers to the mound in your third Regional game.

La Crosse will likely send WIAC Honorable Mention selection Jameson Lavery to the mound. The thing I am interested in watching is who Concordia decides to start. They threw their #1 and #2 guys on Wednesday, but both had "short" outings. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them come back with their "ace" Palmer today.
