from what I was told by an ex player for Point, Logan Mattsons baseball career is most likely over and that's a huge loss.
Better find a new source.... Mattson is in the starting lineup and playing SS for the Pointers in Game #1 of the Super Regional...

Pickering doesn't have it today, down 3-0 in the 2nd already.

Now that the WIAC Tournament has started and the lineup is out, I'll share that Mattson was hit by a pitch in the face against Eau Claire....  There was a concern that there might be some facial fractures, so he went and visited a specialist last weekend.  His availability moving forward is literally a week-to-week thing.  Obviously the longer the Pointers season goes, the odds of him returning increase, however I wouldn't get my hopes up....
Can't say the information wasn't out there about Mattson possibly returning yet this season...

Pointers are going to need him and others to get the bats going or Game #1 could be a "laugher" in a hurry...

Not so fast as Point puts up a 4 spot to get back in it. Can any of you please explain to me why Pickering gets left out there when he clearly doesn't have it? To me it's very obvious when he's on or off why leave him in to get rocked?

Pickering gets pulled after giving up a leadoff bomb and single in the 3rd, not going to get the job done and puts the pitching staff in a terrible spot for a best of 3 series.

They're potentially playing three games in a 27-28 hour period....  Not that uncommon to have a little longer leash in Game #1 knowing that there are still more game(s) to be played...  Had the same thing happened in Game #2 with the Pointers trailing 1-0 in the series, I doubt Pickering is even given the chance to get through the first inning?

Nelson continues to "rake" during the postseason and his 3-run HR gives the Pointers a 7-6 lead....  WIAC Pitcher of the Year Isaiah Katz was staked to an early 5-0 lead, however the Pointers have roughed him up for 7 earned runs in just five innings of work thus far...

I'll be curious to see how Weckler is used this weekend...  Does Richter go to him out of the bullpen, or line him up to start Game #3 should the series go the full length? 
Weckler comes on in relief in the fifth inning and strands a pair of runners and then he turns around and strikes out the side (all swinging) in the sixth inning facing La Crosse's #2/3/4 hitters....

Nelson doesn't get a chance to face Katz a fourth time and improve on his 3x3 day as Coach Schwarz goes to Bouche with 1st & 2nd and two outs in the 6th inning...  Bouche strikes out Nelson swinging to end the threat.  Stevens Point still leads 7-6 heading to the 7th inning...

8 up, 8 down for Weckler thanks to a 4-6-3 double play after a one out walk to end the 7th inning...

Weckler tries working around a leadoff throwing error getting a strikeout (foul bunt with two strikes,) and a foul-out to the first baseman, however Coach Schwarz pushes the right button and pinch hits for his #2 hitter with Mac Born.  Born responds with a 2-run HR to RCF on the second pitch he sees to give the Eagles an 8-7 lead.

Richter goes to his bullpen again bringing in Syvertson to try and keep it an 8-7 game...

About as routine of a ground ball as possible might be Point's undoing today.  That play can't happen in tight games.

I would've sent Homolka with two outs on Boos double despite the fact that Nelson was due up...  You gotta assume that they might walk Nelson with first base open anyway?

Of course the second baseman bobbles the ensuing relay throw after Homolka is held up so it doesn't hurt the Eagles...

Ferry just hasn't been the dominant pitcher in 2023 that he was in 2022 in my opinion....

A leadoff double and another throwing error gives the Eagles runners on the corners with nobody out...
