On the other hand, there is a feeling out there though that WIAC teams feel they are God's gift to baseball.

Your exaggeration is noted, but not entirely a fact.

Of course its exaggerated and not entirely a fact but not entirely false either.

I followed one inning of the those 2 announcers and was questioning whether or not they thought they were watching a soccer match. Why doesnt UWW connect their radio guy to their video

Because it's "student" TV!!  The radio guys are professional broadcasters.

Exactly so they should string a cord to their video feed, not difficult...UWW communications department must be hurting in general. CSS managed to do it during the UMAC playoffs, but I guess CSS was trying to put out a quality product.

You left the door open for a heck of a comeback, but I'll choose to keep it to myself....  Don't want my karma to get dinged too bad!!!

Cubs, I think we all know where this is leading...karma or no karma, what's left unsaid may be more powerful than what is said!!    {open mouth, insert foot ring a bell?}

Hats off to Donovan for a very well pitched game.  I'm not sure I've seen more curveballs in my life.

IMO, UWSP taking out Wendorf when they did was the turning point (no pun intended) in this game.  He had scattered only 3 hits in 5 1/3 innings & the Warhawks really hadn't hit anything hard all day. Then they really started to tee off on Iverson for a couple batters.  The Pointers got a runner to third with one out in the 7th. But two easy ground balls ended the threat. UWSP didn't make any serious noise after that. Donovan was sharp, especially with that big spinner, but it seemed the Pointers were on the verge of a big inning a number of times. I'm sure it feels great to get that large monkey (or is it a gorilla) off their backs. But it means nothing without 1 win tomorrow. Is the weather going to hold out?

Thats why he is the curveball king.

So will UWW throw Lambert again in game 1 then come back with Tincher in 2 if needed?

I would throw Tincher, with the plan being to close the book in game 1.  No need in making this too suspenseful or dramatic.

I would too.  CSS hasn't proven they can hit a left-hander all year.  Siefken from BLC, Delorit from UWSP, and Mortenson from WW all shut them down.

makes sense just was not sure since he already threw twice with the last one being not so great

CSS needs to get that WW defense moving tomorrow with a lot of stealing and hit and runs.  If CSS gets baserunners, they are an absolute pain to deal with.

You might agree Strikeout, that there's a simple solution then for the Warhawks (although easier said than done)...Tincher or whoever starts needs to throw a no-no!!  Keep them boys off the base paths!!

[GBMAN]

What an awesome game to witness UW-W 2 V UWSP 1..... I could see Larson getting the start too..

[cubs]

If the plan is to start Tincher one of the games tomorrow, I start him Game #1 if Lewis isn't throwing for CSS.  If Lewis gets the nod in Game #1, I save Tincher for Game #2.

UWW gave Lewis is only loss on the season on May 3.  So confidence shouldn't be lacking with whoever CSS throws.  At this stage, IMO the most judicious move is to go out with your best able arm to get the win without giving CSS a chance at a second game.  I believe that's #35.

Good luck to WW tomorrow. Let's get the WIAC to the WS again.

[Strikeout]

Tincher v. Lewis....just what CSS needs.
