St. Scholastica sweeps UWL. That's five straight wins over the WIAC for CSS if I'm counting right.

And those six games were played in 5 days and some lousy weather. They certainly seem very strong.

They have all but locked up a Pool C if they stumble in the UMAC (which is doubtful as they have won it 17 straight times). The UMAC will not challenge them... CSS will remain strong on the national stage as the playoff approach.

[therocket21]

CSS seems to be deeper on the mound than ever before. In previous years I feel that they were not able to compete with the depth that the WIAC teams possessed on the mound. This year, however, it appears they are comfortable in trotting out about 7-8 different guys to pitch against a quality team. This has (in my opinion) been the reason they could not beat a WIAC team when it came down to the regional finals.

[badgerwarhawk]

For the second time in three weeks WARHAWKS pitcher Austin Jones was named WIAC Pitcher of the week....

Pitcher
Austin Jones (Wauwatosa, Wis./West), Junior
Jones pitched six innings, allowing one run on seven his while striking out seven in the No. 4 Warhawks' 10-5 victory over St. Scholastica (Minn.) last Wednesday at Miller Stadium. The right-hander stranded six Saints base runners during his outing, which took 86 pitches to get through and included three flyouts and eight groundouts. With the win, Jones improved to 4-0 with a 1.35 earned run average for the season.

[TitanDoubles]

Was surprised to see UWO go 1-3 over the past weekend with a pair of losses to CSS and a split of SMU (MN). CSS seems to be the real deal but I think the Titans would've liked to see (at the very least) a split with CSS and a sweep of SMU. I watched the CSS games online and UWO played well overall. However, a few errors late in games and not enough timely hitting with runners on did them in.

I still believe that UWO finishes 2nd in the WIAC. Outside of UWW, nobody had a very impressive non-conference showing.

WARHAWKS: 8, 9
Ripon: 2, 8

Michael Kaska allowed four hits and struck out six over six innings to pick up his first win of the season.  Kaska was relieved by Renz, Finn and Nompleggi who each pitched a single inning.  Renz and Nompleggi each threw hitless innings striking out one and two batters respectively.  Nompleggi allowed a pair of runs (one earned) on three hits with a pair of strikeouts.  Wary (2x5, 2B), Fleischman (2x5) and Kuczynski (2x5, 2B) had multiple hits.  Helbing tripled and drove in 3 runs.  Fleischman (1), Krause (2), Schneider (1) and Kuczynski (1) also drove in runs. 

The WARHAWKS plated a pair of runs in their last at bat to win game two.  Heilenbach started and struggled allowing 7 runs (6 earned) on 9 hits and walking a batter before being relieved by Shah after 1.2 innings.  Shah picked up his second win while surrendering a single unearned run on 3 hits and striking out 7 in 6.1 innings.  Jones pitched a 1-2-3 ninth striking out two.  Ryan Makuski went 4x5 with a pair of RBIs to lead the WARHAWKS.  Krause (2x5) also had multiple hits.  Aldridge (1), Borgardt (2), White (1) and Aeillo (1) recorded RBI.

The WARHAWKS open conference play with a four game series against Lacrosse this weekend.

The Warhawks showed a lot of will and grit to grind out a tough win in game two after being down big early. A lot of players stepped up on both offense and defense. Good team effort.

CSS has always had a solid 1-2 starters that could compete with anyone but became apparent that the rest of their staff needed to be tested more against better competition. When they were a pool B team they couldn't slip up so made it difficult to throw anyone on the mound. With having the auto qualifier the last handful of years they can schedule a very difficult schedule and run out 7-8 guys against WIAC and MIAC teams ( current SOS is 4). Also the UMAC adding north central and uws allowed them to go from 21 conference games to 16 thus allowing a harder schedule.

Yes, couldn't agree with you more. Also, gotta give CSS credit for going out and getting quality recruits, especially a few JR.'s that come in and contribute right away. The 16 conference helps as they can schedule their non-conference to be one of the toughest in the country.

Whitewater strikes first in the race for the WIAC regular season championship as they sweep a DH from La Crosse today.  Austin Jones continues his dominance beating reigning WIAC Pitcher of the Year Caleb Boushley 4-1 in the opener, while Health Renz keeps the Eagles bats quiet in the nightcap until La Crosse scores four ninth inning runs against the bullpen for a 9-4 victory.  Kuczynski with a pair of home runs and Chamberlain with three doubles paced the Whitewater offense in the nightcap.

[cubs]

Stevens Point gets a solid performance from Erickson on the mound in the WIAC opener as they take advantage of some UWO errors for a 4-0 victory.  Stevens Point outhit UWO 7-5 in the nightcap, however four Pointer pitchers combine to issue 12 walks as UWO salvages a split with an 8-2 victory.
