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

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.

*Red Hawks

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.

Me too...

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

Boushley relieves Cejka in Bottom of 3rd Inning following rain delay with Wash U leading 6-5....

Will be interesting to see plan of attack with Cejka going forward....  Does he come back and pitch in La Crosse's second game today, or is he unable to go until tomorrow?  If he can't go until Saturday, it may be too late as a pair of losses would end the Eagles season.

La Crosse gets 11 scoreless innings from their bullpen to beat Wash U 8-6 in 13 innings....  Closer Jameson Sadowske finishes things with five scoreless innings, giving up three hits and a walk.

Wash U led 6-5 after two innings and the game was then delayed until this morning due to rain.  Both teams put zeros up on the scoreboard until the ninth inning when La Crosse scored a single run to tie the game.  It stayed that way until the 13th inning when La Crosse pushed a pair of runs across to take an 8-6 lead.  (It could have been more but the Eagles had a runner thrown out at home and another at third during the inning.)

The host Eagles advance to the winner's bracket finals against Coe at 7:45 PM tonight.

Should point get beau on the mound down 2 to 0 already and pitcher looks tough.

Gerber getting hurt is really screwing point this game tarras has to block those can't give up easy runs in game like this.

Seriously? 

No team is going to get to the World Series trying to ride ONE pitcher all the way through Regionals....

When did Gerber get hurt?

He played last weekend in Point's 10-5 loss to Whitewater....

[ShineTime]

Apparently he may have torn labrum that's why he's not catching.  He was playing at a high level prior to injury.

I know beau was on terror at plate but it may be time to have someone else dh he's cooled off and is too valuable on mound.  Not going to say it's impossible but I'm not sure point has enough pitching to pull this off.  Kowalke picked worst time to pitch worst two innings of life.  To lose a game in which your pitchers only give up 3 hits is hard to swallow.  Looks like whitewater is back on a roll I wouldn't be shocked at all if they get to Appleton

I can't believe you are blaming the loss on Point's pitching...  How about the vaunted offense you talked about actually do something?  Their final nice batters of the game went down in order and 13 of the last 15 batters were retired. 

Point's pitching staff did enough to help them win.  It would have been nice if the defense had made the routine plays behind them.

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.

So Whitewater follows up 2-0 win with another dominating performance on the mound as Bachar throws a CG in leading the Warhawks to a 3-0 victory over Wash U.

After getting lit up against Ripon, Whitewater has thrown 18 straight shutout innings at the Midwest Regional.  Will be interesting to see if they can continue the run on the mound against Concordia tomorrow at 12:00!!!!

Am guessing Wash U got their fill of the WIAC baseball teams today!!!!

[GBMAN]

Ripon had to be hotter than hot when we played them (Wisconsin Whitewater)

[BDB]

18 shutout innings against tournament level teams is impressive to say the least.
