BB: Midwest Region

[OshDude]

The loser of tonight's Wiac battle gets to face st Thomas and Dylan Thomas tomorrow.  In my opinion point has to win tonight and tomorrow at noon to have any chance whereas I feel whitewater could bounce back.

Thomas is going to need his off-speed pitches against either one of them.

you both are assuming CSS beats Case-Western, If Case wins, Case get UST & Thomas, while the WIAC loser get Scholastica. The WIAC game winner then gets the winner of CSS-WIAC Loser.

Beating Case won't be easy like Sunday morning.

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

Case-Westtern 3   CSS 1

So---
Case takes on UST Friday at 3
CSS gets the loser of tonight's UWSP-UWW game  at 1 tomorrow
the winner of the UWSP-UWW game tonight plays the winner of the 1pm game tomorrow at 6

News on the replacement of the Metrodome. I hope this is the appropriate place to put this. If not please move to a more appropriate place.

Anyone know or heard where the Midwest regional might be this year?  I saw this http://thegazette.com/2013/09/17/cedar-rapids-bids-to-host-ncaa-division-iii-baseball-championships/ regarding the WS but haven't heard anything about the regionals.  When do they usually determine the sites?

[therocket21]

Not sure where the regional is either. I would guess St. Johns (if it is completed) has to be an option. It would be nice to see it in MN for a change.

I can see St. John's hosting it in St. Cloud at Faber Field.

UW-Whitewater will entertain a regional of the 2014 NCAA Division III Baseball Championship at Prucha Field.

Whoop a di doo!  Whitewater is a great venue, and they did a great job as host a few years back when I was able to attend, and I am sure they have continued to do a great job since.  I for one was hoping for a change of venue though just to mix things up.  The suggestion to have the tournament in St. Cloud is a really good one.  Faber would be a wonderful spot to host a regional. 

Anyone have an update on the field at St. Johns?  Did they get lights?  I have not seen it, would it be an appropriate field for a regional?  I had heard that it plays a bit small.

[therocket21]

Not sure on the lights, and yes, it does play a bit small. It has some similarities to Whitewater with the stands behind the backstop and places where people can stand as well as sit. It also had a cement block on top of the dugouts where people can bring chairs, or stand and watch. I think the field would be appropriate for a regional, but I am not sure they would have enough parking space.

Lets hope the article on the front page of stevens point journal from today is not true regarding a former pointer player.
