Safe to assume Oshksoh and La Crosse are only getting three games in?
Unfortunately. Didn't get started until 2:15 today. The hitters certainly took advantage of the favorable conditions at Tiedemann. It was a laser show at times in those three games.

Looking at some of the box scores so far this season, I was starting to think that maybe there have been some advances in the BBCOR bats.  Maybe it is just a combination of weather conditions, pitching, and betters hitters across the board!!!

Oshkosh actually had a bat malfunction today when the cap popped off.

I'd be real curious to see what the players think about the BBCOR bats this year compared to the past.  Maybe worth an "Around the Nation" article?   ;)

Considering the 2:15 start and a 6:45-ish cutoff without lights,  I was expecting two 7 inning games instead of the "Let's play 9, then see if we have time for a second game."
Is there some WIAC policy against playing 7 if necessary?
If one of the teams ends the season 1/2 game behind the league champion and the tournament is scrapped for the weather make-ups, that would be a tough way to go.

Former UW-Stevens Point baseball player Tim Schlosser set the bar pretty high for the rest of us with his wedding proposal. You know it's a good one when it makes the local news. Love + serendipity = Awwww.

Anyone going to WIAC games from now until the end of the season would be wise to bring baseball gear because you may be called upon to pitch. All teams have a difficult sprint to the finish. Here's the UW Oshkosh scenario:

12 WIAC nines over the next 12 days (4/13-24)
Find days to make up four nines against UW-Stevens Point
Four more WIAC nines on 5/3-4

If the WIAC calendar remains the same and there's a postseason tournament, that's 20 nine-inning conference games in 22 days.

Oshkosh has it better some. UW-Stout still hasn't played a WIAC game, and UW-La Crosse may not get three of its WIAC games in (Stout DH, one against Oshkosh). The "good" news for UWO is that the rest of its regular season games are now at home [Edit: besides the TBD UWSP series].

The physical challenges are obvious, but the toughest team mentally may emerge as the winner. Welcome to the big leagues, WIAC.

From what I am being told the Point/WARHAWKS series will be played in WHITEWATER this weekend.  Saturday is looking pretty good with only a 20% chance of rain though temperatures are only expected to reach a high of 45.  The temperature on Sunday is expected to reach in the upper 50's but the chance of rain increases to 40%.  Regardless I expect that we'll be able to complete the games.

No way they play this week.  No way.   :'(
While you may end up being correct, games won't be canceled/postponed in Oshkosh because of lack of effort getting the fields ready.  I'd be willing to bet there will be UWO players there early in the morning working on the field trying to get it ready to be played on.

WARHAWKS: 5
Stevens Point: 2

The Pointers opened the scoring with an unearned run in their first at bat when Douglas, who had reached base on an error, was driven home by a two out single from Barnes.  Douglas also scored the Pointers second run in the B5 when he singled and was driven in by Schilter's double.  The WARHAWKS got on the board in the T7 when Marty Herum led off the inning with a solo home run.  Mikole Pierce followed a double, advanced to third on Steve Barlein's sac bunt and scored on a wild pitch.  After the Pointers were retired 1-2-3 in their at bat Dylan Friend opened the eighth with a triple and scored the winning run when Jared Fon hit a sac fly.  The WARHAWKS added two insurance runs in the ninth when Fon had another sac fly and Herum's single drove in a run.  The Pointers threatened in both the eighth and ninth innings putting runners in scoring position but were unable to capitalize.

Tom Kerndt (3-1) pitched a solid 7.2 innings allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 7 hits while striking out 4 with a pair of walks.  Curtis Morgan finished the final 1.2 innings allowing just a single hit facing just 5 batters.

Friend and Herum both had a pair of hits. Herum and Fon each had a pair of RBI.

Feyereisen took the loss for the Pointers.  Schilter had a pair of hits and an RBI.  Barnes also had an RBI.


WARHAWKS: 5
Stevens Point: 3

The WARHAWKS got on the board first with a single run in the second inning.  Marty Herum drew a walk and scored when Steve Bartlein doubled.  The WARHAWKS got another run in the third though it could have been a much bigger inning as they had loaded the bases with none out.  The Pointers however dodged the bullet when they turned Jared Fon's infield ground out into a double play, though it drove in David Cladis, and struck out Marty Herum.  The WARHAWKS added a single run in the sixth inning when Herum led off with a single and advanced into scoring position when Mikole Pierce drew a walk.  JT Schneider drove in Herum two batters later with an RBI single.  The Pointers got their first run in the seventh.  Gerber led off with a double and scored after a pair of infield ground outs.  The WARHAWKS answered that run with two in the eighth.  Herum singled to lead off the inning and Pierce followed with a two run home run.  However the Pointers made the ninth interesting with four hits.  Douglas led off with a double and after a fly out Gerber doubled driving in Douglas.  Coady singled moving Gerber to third and Barnes' sac fly scored Gerber.  Coady stole second and advanced to third on when Gregorich singled moving Coady to third but the WARHAWKS Brock Liston struck out Kranz to end the game.

Justin Lambert (4-1) went 8.2 innings giving up 9 hits, 3 earned runs with 3 strikeouts to pick up the win.  Liston was credited with his first save of the season.

Herum, Barlein and Schneider each had a pair of hits.  Pierce had a pair of RBI and Bartlien had an RBI.

Herbst took the loss for the Pointers.  Gerber had 3 hits, all doubles, to lead the Pointers while Barnes had a pair of RBI. 


Today's double hitter has been reduced to a single game with the start time moved from noon to 1 pm.
