One advantage is that now teams that lost have their "aces" to use in elimination games.

And they also have to win six straight correct?

I'll take my chances throwing my "ace" and improving my chances to stay in Winner's Bracket. Easier to win four straight instead of six straight after losing the first game!!!

That's a good point cubs. Also, the ace is usually going to be a guy that is going to want the ball again on Saturday to give his team a chance at winning a regional on short rest. If I'm coaching in a regional I want to give my ace the chance to throw as many innings as possible. Throwing them on the first day is, in my opinion, the easiest way to do that.

GREAT pitchers duel between Whitewater's Grove and St. John's Felhaber!!!!

Whitewater 0
St. John's 0

Top 7th

Just on principle for not using their #1 yesterday, I'd love to see UWW fall.

Doesn't look like it will happen....

Whitewater 2
St. John's 0

FINAL

WW put up single runs in the 7th and 9th innings to account for all of the scoring.... Whitewater will likely send Bachar to the mound tomorrow in a elimination game against the loser of La Crosse and Wash U who play the final game of Day #2 later tonight.

Whitewater will at least get to championship game I'm betting.

All the games in the Central Region are rained out.... Decision on the schedule will be made at 6:00 PM this evening.

Michael polcyn should be checked for ped usage 3 home runs today wtf. Shouldve been a pointer 4 years.

It appears cejka is getting rocked but lacrosse came to hit so hopefully they can still get the w.

FIFY...

BTW-You forgot to mention that Ripon lost 5-4 despite the three HR's from Polcyn...

Unfortunately for the Red Men, the game ended with Polcyn left in the on-deck circle.

Rain delay in La Crosse ... Haven't seen any word on whether the game will continue tonight or if there will be adjustments in tomorrow's schedule.

Baseball Geek · May 14, 2015, 11:41:59 PM

Game will resume at 10am on Friday.

Intentional Just Bill.... Being from that area, they will always be the Red Men to me. Similar to Seymour High School being the Indians and not the Thunder.
