2000: WARHAWKS
2002: Stevens Point
2004: WARHWKS
2006: Stevens Point

And the second place WIAC team's record in those four year:

2000-UWO (10-4/27-8) and Stevens Point (10-4/28-11)
2002-Whitewater (18-7/29-11)
2004-UWO (18-6/35-9)
2006-UWO*** (20-4/35-12)

***-UWO actually was the WIAC regular season champion in 2006, however Stevens Point won the WIAC Tournament and the automatic Pool A bid that went along with it.

So TitanDoubles, do you honestly think a 12-8 WIAC record and 27-18 overall record (assuming they go 3-2 in WIAC Tournament) is going to get UWO a Pool C bid?  If so, you might want to take off the black and gold tinted glasses.....

What would st Norbert finish in wiac this year perhaps 2nd?  How can't point score a single run is their ace going high in MLB draft this spring?

I don't think McMahon would be considered their "ace" at this point in the season.... 

Even after the CG shutout yesterday, he sports a 4.32 ERA in 41.2 IP.  Malkowski on the other hand, sits with a 2.12 ERA in 34.0 IP, meaning entering yesterday, both had about the same amount of innings pitched on the season.

I haven't looked at SOS at all this year but I would figure that UWO is pretty high up there. You never know what could happen. Look at basketball this year. Nobody saw UWO getting in and they did. Being the #2 team in the WIAC is worth a lot.

The difference however is that UWO basketball was in the Regional Rankings the last two weeks when they were released.  If I was to guess what the baseball Regional Rankings would look like when they are released for the first time next week (I believe) Whitewater will likely be the lone WIAC team to crack the rankings.

A lot of shifting can still happen between now and then due to the amount of games that will be played, but I would guess teams like Whitewater, Bethel, St. Scholastica, Concordia-Chicago, and possibly Concordia-Wisconsin and St. Thomas or St. John's will find themselves in the Top 6 next week.

What metrics does the NCAA use for measuring SOS? I thought I remembered looking at something last year. Links would be appreciated. Thanks.

This isn't the most current version, but I believe pages 51-52 outline it. https://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/MAN_DIII_Champs_Comm_2015-16_2.pdf

Thanks. If I knew how to dish out karma I would.

Your karma feature isn't active until you've posted a certain number of times.  I think it's 100 or something like that.  You still have a ways to go.  I did it for you this time.

Warhawks win 21-4 over MSOE in 7 innings. I'm sure BadgerWarhawk can offer his insight and details ... I was only watching video and stats online. Eight home runs for the Warhawks, including 2 each for Krause and Chamberlain.

They are also now ranked #1 in the ABCA poll, #3 in D3Baseball.

MSOE: 4-9-1
WARHAWKS: 21-16-0

Shah got the start giving up a single run on a pair of two out hits before being relieved by Jones in the second inning.  The WARHAWKS answered that run and added three more in their at bat when Bryden scored on a wild pitch, Chamberlain drilled his first home run, a two run shot, and Aiello hit an RBI single.  Jones struck out the side in the second and had his only baserunner wiped out by a double play in the third.  The WARHAWKS put six on the board in the fourth.  After a pair of singles and HBP Bryden's fielders choice brought the first run in.  Krause and Chamberlain hit back to back home runs with Krause good for three RBIs and Chamberlain a solo shot.  Wary's single drove in the sixth run staking the WARHAWKS lead to 10-1.  After Heilenbach had pitched a scoreless fourth inning the Engineers got to him for three runs on three hits in the fifth cutting the deficit to 10-4.  Three WARHAWKS homered in the bottom of the fifth.  Bryden's accounted for two runs while Adridge and Krause each had solo home runs pushing the score to 14-4.  The WARHAWKS put seven runs on the board in the sixth.  White and Jense each hit three run home runs, and Chamberlain drove in his fourth RBI with a single.  Renz and Kaska each allowed a hit in the sixth and seventh respectively. 

Hitting: Bryden (2x3, 4 RS, 3 RBI, HR); Krause (2x4, 3 RS, 4 RBI, 2 HR); Chamberlain (3x5, 3 RS, 4 RBI, 2 HR); Jensen (1x1, 1 RS, 3 RBI, HR); Aiello (2x4, 1 RS, 1 RBI); Aldridge (2x3, 3 RS, 1 RBI, HR); White (2x3, 2 RS, 3 RBI, HR)

Shah (4-0) was credited with the win.
