It's every three years in D-III.

Senior guard Broker Buschor (6-3) of Darlington has committed to Platteville.

The divisions are now allowed to have different rules on things like this.  As far as I know, the annual trip is currently a D1 only thing.

Quote from: badgerwarhawk on April 13, 2026, 05:15:31 PMSome question whether game two will be played due to threatening weather.  If the game is not played it will not be made up.

Game two cancelled in the top of second with the WARHAWKS leading 2-0.

The Whitewater website has the series finale as being "postponed after the start of the second inning. The make-up date is still to be determined."

I was relying on the information provided by the broadcasting crew.  I'd be more than surprised if we drive up to EC a third time

Safe to say you're surprised? 

WARHAWKS take a pair of close games over Platteville today 3-1 and 4-3.  The two teams were 3-1 after four innings before pitching put an end to any further scoring.  Jackson Koenig (W,4-0) got the start pitching 5.2 inning, allowing 4 hits, an unearned run with a walk and 4 strikeouts.  Franklin Kirchner (S,2) relieved with 3.1 hitless innings walking a batter and striking out 4.  Dominik McVay had a pair of hits and an RBI.  Aaron Holland and Landen Seymour also had RBIs.

The WARHAWKS picked up 3 runs in their first at bat on 3 hits, 2 passed balls and a double steal of third and home and held a 4-1 lead after the fourth.  Platteville pulled to within a run with a pair of runs in the sixth but Theo Zeidler (S,2) shut the door with 3 hitless innings in relief with a strikeout to preserve the win.  Gradin Taschner (W,3-0) started and allowed 5 hits and 1 r/er with a walk and 6 strikeouts over 5 innings before being relieved. Skyler Sievert pitched an inning. Jackson Spring had a pair of hits and an RBI for the WARHAWKS.

Because it may have some bearing in the conference tournament seeding the postponed game 4 against Eau Claire will be resumed on April 29. The WARHAWKS lead 2-0 with Eau Claire batting in the bottom of the second.

Gee.

I never realized there were such RABID D3 fans!

I heard on a radio show that the NCAA had just made a rule change.

In the past, summer international trips were limited to only once every so many years.

But now, teams are apparently eligible to make a trip EVERY summer if they wish.

I wonder if this means that CWRU football, which takes a trip to Italy to play an Italian "pro" (term used very generously) team every five years or so, will start making that trip every year.

1. Whitewater 17-0
2. La Crosse 12-4
3. River Falls 10-8
4. Eau Claire 8-7
5. Platteville 7-11
6. UWO 7-11
7. Stevens Point 7-11
8. Stout 1-17

-Whitewater with a four game sweep of Platteville.
-Stevens Point with a four game sweep of Stout.
-River Falls takes three out of four from UWO.
-La Crosse takes first two against Eau Claire today with final two games of series scheduled for tomorrow.

I would say this is as weak as I've seen the WIAC in at least 25+ years, if not more... The streak Whitewater is on this year reminds me of the mid 1980's-late 1990's UWO teams, where they racked up wins at will on their WSUC/WIAC counterparts. UWO's dominance in conference play back then carried over to Regional play during that time too as they were in the World Series on a regular basis which included winning a pair of National Championsips (1985 and 1994.) I'll be curious to see how things go for Whitewater once the Postseason rolls around.

It hasn't been the year Trinity has hoped for (21-12, 12-3 SAA to date) but with today's 11-6 comeback win against Sewanee, Tim Scannell recorded his 900th career win.

Next up for the Tigers: three games at home against second-place SAA co-leader Rhodes (24-9, 11-4) next weekend.  The Lynx unexpectedly dropped the last game of their series at Millsaps today.
