Congratulation to U-Dub Dub baseball!

41 Innings in 30 hours and a Central Region Championship! Phenomenal accomplishment!!

Right on!!
UWW baseball provided a great 4 day baseball treat.

All that said, I like UWW's chances a second time around if they can make it back to play Rose Hulman. It just seemed this game featured a lot of "it's not our day" stuff for UWW mixed in w excellent play by RH.

I actually feel like Whitewater has a legitimate chance to win three straight starting tonight.....  They have a rested Shah tonight, can bring back Morgan on two days rest for Game #1 tomorrow, and then after that, all strategy is out the window in a one game, winner take all situation.  With that said, I feel like Bachar could provide a few good innings on just one day of rest.

Good luck Warhawks!!!

Excellent prediction Cubs- you called it.

Looks like the WARHAWKS will make it to game two today.  Curtis Morgan sharp in a complete game shutout allowing 5 hits and striking out 8 with no walks.  11-0 final.  Aldridge with another home run.  Daytona Bryden had four hits and 3 runs scored.  Fleischman, Chamberlain, Wary, Helbing and A. Jones each had a pair of RBIs.

Interestingly the WARHAWKS are once again visiting team for the fourth time in five games and for the second time vs Rose Hulman.  I hope that means the #1 seed gets to be the home team in the final game. 

I'd be pretty surprised if it wasn't Bachar in game 11.

UW-W up 3-0 after 5 innings in championship game.  Visitors again. Isn't it a coin flip each game to determine the home game?

U Dub Dub are visitors because everyone hates them.  Even the NCAA.

This is so huge for Appleton and wisconsin I'm getting all tournament pass this may not happen again don't count whitewater out especially if bachar can be dominant Morgan is so solid obviously la Crosse probably has to be the favorite but either way good luck and how awesome would it be to have wiac final.

I am not sure if you have looked at the brackets but La Crosse is in the same bracket with Cortland and their first game is vs Trinity.  I would be very surprised if Trinity or Cortland does not come out of this bracket and go on to win it.

WW has the easiest path to the championship game.

I just believe la Crosse has the bats 1 through 9 and boushley is rock solid on the mound.  You are correct about whitewater having an easier path however.  I personally am picking la Crosse to win it all.

[108 Stitches]

Great and I am personally picking Trinity so we will find out after the first game who is closer to being right. 
La Crosse does have a strong offensive team but Trinity is number 2 and number 2 in ERA. LC is 88 with a 4.17 ERA.
Defense and pitching usually dominate over the long haul in tournament play, but your correct they may slug their way to a few victories as Trinity has done.
We really need to start a CWS thread.

I'm going to step back and look at this whole thing from an unbiased perspective. I'll take Whitewater.

Grant broke his ankle and foot playing in a spring game a couple of weeks ago costing him his entire senior season ( Cedarburg plays summer baseball). Grant comes from  a great family and pretty much eats, drinks, and sleeps baseball. I had the opportunity to coach him his freshman season.  He is a great teammate, an excellent student, and a talented pitcher. He is a student of the game. I watched Saturday's double header in Cedarburg with him and was very impressed with his knowledge of his teammates' strengths and weaknesses and the technical aspects of what they needed to work on. It is killing him that he can't play with his teammates this summer and I have no doubt he will work as hard as he can to be ready to be a part of the Titans next near. I wish him well. Oshkosh is adding a quality person with Grant. My understanding is that he is rooming with teammate Kyle Murphy, who also intends to play for the Titans. Murphy is an outfielder who hits third in the Cedarburg lineup.

OK lets have a friendly bet if Trinity wins you can send me some Cheese Curds and if Whitewater wins we'll send you a cheese head (Senator Cruz).  Actually I may have just decided to switch teams on my own.

Wow that's one crazy bracket.  If they are going to keep this format the need to loose the predetermined match-ups and re-seed.  Four of the top six ranked teams in the same pool.  I agree that La Crosse doesn't have the pitching to win it, but i hope they prove me wrong.
