Don't know if 5 consecutive HR's is a record, ...

The back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers were a UW-W school record for consecutive home runs in an inning. The UW-W school record for most home runs in an inning was six against Carrol College on April 15, 1997. The UW-W school record for home runs in a game was 10 against UW-Stevens Point on April 28, 1995.

I'd put a lot of money in writing that UWO SP Ryan Demmin, who was named the WIAC Pitcher of the Week after two CG wins last week, set an all-divisions record by giving up 5 consecutive HRs.

It was strange because take away about 10 pitches in that inning and one mistake to Jordan Stine in the third inning and Demmin was very difficult to hit.  He's got a nasty curve and yesterday he was throwing it for strikes.  He made a few hitters look silly at the plate.    Several of us were dumbfounded that Lechner left him in the game in the fifth but he threw three more really good innings before being relieved in the ninth.   He's a really good pitcher and his brother saved at least three runs with a couple of incredible plays on line shots at first.

Don't quote me but if I remember correctly Stevens Point had nine home runs in that game and it set the NCAA D3 record for combined home runs by two teams at 19.

WIAC Standings (Through 4/6)
Stevens Point 3-1
Oshkosh 5-3
Platteville 5-3
Whitewater 2-2
La Crosse 3-5
Stout 3-5
Superior 3-5

Interesting to note that Superior's Nate Hedley did not take the mound for the Jacket's this weekend after shutting down Oshkosh last weekend.  I would think it would be safe to assume he may throw on Wednesday against La Crosse.

We'll see about that top 25 after tomorrow.
I think the 'Hawks are Top 25 material no matter what happens tomorrow. I may be in the minority there, but I hope not.

They have a lot going for them: a recent power program with a national title a few years back, nice wins, silly production against one of MW region's top young pitchers and a good overall record. We'll see. You definitely could be correct with the wait-and-see approach, but I'm sold.
Well Oshkosh bounces back and sweeps the Warhawks today 8-5 and 10-5.  I have not been able to find any box scores as of yet, but my guess would be that Hendricks and Reubens were the wining pitchers while Jacobson and Johnson were the losing pitchers.

I had the pitchers of record correct, although I am a little surprised about Reubens.  After facing three batters and picking up the loss in Game #1 yesterday, Reubens comes back to earn a save and a win today.  He throws 1.2 scoreless innings in relief of Curt Hendricks in Game #1 allowing only one hit.  In Game #2, he goes the distance, scattering 14 hits while giving up 5 runs.  For the season, Reubens has now appeared in over half (8 out of 15) of the Titans games, making only two starts.  It will be interesting to see who starts for the Titans on Wednesday against Stevens Point. 

I could honestly see this year being a repeat of the 2006 season, where the top four or five teams are seprated by only a few games.  I would venture to say that the WIAC champion this season will have at least 6 losses, which has happened only once since the WIAC went to a 24 game conference schedule.  If that occurs, it would likely mean no Pool C bid for anyone.

They did the same thing with Gerl last season (appeared in 26 of 47 games, however 0 starts, pitching 63.2 innings) and he didn't appear to break down.  Hopefully Reubens has the same type of endurance, or a short staff would become even shorter without an effective Reubens.

Im not sure what you may be looking at but we dont face La Crosse until the later portion of the season, our next games are @ Point next weekend.

Ooops!!!  I must have been looking at Stout's schedule, and not Superior's..... 

That makes it even more puzzling that a guy who shut down a Top 25 team last weekend doesn't even step on the mound this weekend....

Well with basically 2/3 of the year left Rubens has already thrown 31 2/3 and Demmin 30 1/3 so they are on pace for over 90 innings each after the WIAC tourney which is a lot of innings in such a short time. Gerl was strictly a RP where Rubens is throwing 11 innings every weekend. 

so hopefully for UWO sake they dont burnout because they could be in big trouble come playoff time since their pitching staff is not deep. But they might have to ride those 2 in order to make it to the regional

I think he is the guy, but I fear the load they are putting on him this early. I see them doing to him what happened at St. Olaf last season with Mathison. I hate to see young arms potentially damaged due to a lack of confidence in the rest of the staff. Does anyone know how many pitches he logged on Sunday?
Sunday was a huge day for UWO, if they lose one of those two, winning the conference is a slim chance.

Didn't work out well for Gerl at the end of the season against Point. Better to have several pitchers you can rely on the one or two studs.

Last time I checked, Gerl was 1-0 with a save against Point last season.....  Although he gave up some runs, Oshkosh won both games he appeared in.

If you want to go a step further, Gerl was 1-0 with a save in the Midwest Regional at the end of the season as well.

Gerl was little different, he was not used as a starter. He appeared in plenty of games, but for an inning or two at a time. There starting staff last year was much deeper. He was not asked to relieve, relieve, start. Coach Lechnir knows what he's doing but I fear late season fatigue which is where the injury part comes in. He is only a soph I think.
