Should be a great pitching match-up in Game #1 today with Salazar and Tincher getting the starting nods.....

[cubs]

Whitewater gets on the board early scoring an unearned run to take a 1-0 lead heading into the Top of the 2nd.

UWW/AU video is available free of charge from UWW TV and Penn Atlantic at the link HERE.

1-1 after 1 1/2.

[Just Bill]

It appears they will only by doing video on the UWW games, and not all the games.  Bummer.

Very nice production quality though.

[cubs]

Since giving up an RBI single in the 2nd inning, Tincher has gone on to retire 11 straight. 

Whitewater leads 3-1 heading to the bottom of the 5th.

Yeah, that's pretty self-serving. Guess we were spoiled by basketball -- there was only one school that chose to do only its own game and not the others in a pod.

Rechlitz, Stine and Putnam combine to go 8x13 with 3 runs scored, 3 stolen bases and an RBI out of the 9, 1, and 2 spots to lead the way.

Anytime you get production at the bottom of the order you have a great chance to win.

Also helps when your opponent can't catch routine fly balls, tag guys at the plate and 3B or keep from getting picked off. Aurora didn't play well at all. The Warhawks won, no doubt. And I take nothing away from a solid win. But the Spartans didn't give themselves much of a chance despite Salazar pitching OK.

Poppa, is Dahm starting Game 1 against UST a surprise to you or any other Carthage insider?

I am as shocked as anyone. Perez lost 2-1 in ten to St. Thomas and really sut them down early in the season. I thought he'd go today. Maybe his arm troubles are worse than we heard. Happened to Ruffie lats year... hurt it in the post-season and Carthage's all-american never threw a pitch in the World Series.

BigPoppa's Redmen jumping on All American Matt Schuld early, putting up three runs in the Top of the 1st inning to take an early 3-0 lead over St. Thomas.

Agree 100% with BP here.  I don't think Augie is the kind of manager that says "They've already seen him once, let's give them a different look this time."

Maybe Carthage hitters have a slight advantage having seen Schuld once already this season, but it's all about the performance the Red Men get out of Dahm.

You don't see many inning ending 5-3-6 double plays...

[cubs]

St. Thomas gets a 3-run HR from their #8 hitter to make things close again....

Carthage 4
St. Thomas 3
