Looks like all of us in Wisconsin will get to see a showdown between CSS and St. Thomas later tonight, as the Saints have opened things up on SNC and lead them 5-0 after four innings.

Even though Mathison threw in relief yesterday, I would still expect to see Kummet -vs- Mathison later today for the right to stay unbeaten.

If CSS wins they play St. Thomas, Mathison pitches for St. Olaf so Kummet vs Mathison wont happen today

If it did happen, it would be an interesting situation, not sure the NCAA would allow it, I think there are some rules about trades during the post season.... haha

Probably a lot of paper work involved in trades

We got a ballgame folks!

Is there a reason SP didn't bring their full 35 man roster down?  Kinda disappointing for the players to put in a whole season and then told to stay home when it comes tourney time.

I think there may be some NCAA rules on the roster size for tournament games. If that's not the case I don't know why you wouldn't bring them. It's only about an hour and a half from Point to Oshkosh.

Hickory is correct.... 

The NCAA sets a limit for the number of players that can be in uniform once Regional play begins.  Part of it is due to the fact that the NCAA pays meal money and hotel accomodations for the tournament, and it would get quite expensive if some teams were suiting up 35-40 players.

Ooops!!! 

That's what I get for looking ahead!  Just like that, SNC has a big inning, andd cuts CSS's lead.

Now 6-5 heading to the 8th....  Kummett in relief if SNC threatens, or trust your senior Burg to get the job done?

Retka has been the guy all year they go to... they won't burn kummit unless they have to

Good call!!!! 

It's nice having guys who follow the teams on a consistent basis around here to give us an idea of what might happen.

Or they will bring in Adams who has been closing all year

Not sure if the UMAC tourney performance for Adams will affect the coaching decision or not.

You can play 24 players, 34 total dugout personnel which includes coaches (32 uniform, 2 non-uniform)

True, I thought Adams pitched well just some bad breaks that game

Tie game, solo bomb, big game by Yost

[biggio34]

WOW, what a tournament this is shaking out to be.. every game is outstanding, we have lots of baseball left over the next few days!
