If Point sweeps Platteville next weekend they will end up with a 29-11 regular season record and a 16-8 conference record. Back in 2010 (the year they went to the World Series) they finished the season 27-13 and also had a 16-8 conference record. That year they won two in the conference tourney before losing two in the title game to Whitewater to finish with a 29-15 record and they still managed to make the NCAA tourney. My point to all this is that as long as Point sweeps Platteville I think they'll be in the Tourney but getting a sweep in this conference never seems to be easy

Point hands La Crosse game one...down 1 in the 8th La Crosse plates two runs on 3 Point errors. Point came back to tie it in the bottom of the 9th only to watch La Crosse score 2 runs in the 10th that was set up by an error with 2 outs and no one on, then a single with an error to allow the first run to score. Iverson takes the loss despite going 3.2 and only giving up 2 hits but 4 runs all unearned. Lauersdorf picked up the win in relief for La Crosse

Point with a bit of a statement win perhaps as they take game one 11-1 in 7 innings...Point pounds out 14 hits and Frederick goes the distance for the win

Point goes on to win game win 11-2 and cruises in game two winning 10-0. Cody Koback goes the distance in the 2nd game to follow up another good performance from Scott Williams in game 1. Justin Jirschele provides all the offense Point would need in the 2nd game with home runs in the 1st and 3rd innings. I missed the first game but interesting to see Point's lineup for the 2nd game with Fritz down in the 7 spot, never bad to have the reigning player of the year batting 7th.

Delorit threw the 2nd game, should be interesting to see the stats on the game although playing in Superior it might be awhile before that happens

Point loses in Superior 12-2...

From the sounds of it Douglas got hurt on that final play vs Oshkosh, no word on Van Beck. Looking at the forecast it actually doesn't appear as though Superior is in line for much snow somehow, so hopefully Point can get those games in

Point takes Game 2 in La Crosse 7-6 in 11 innings. Cody Koback with a run scoring double followed by Sean Gerber with a 2 run single to put the Pointers up 7-4 in the top half of the 11th, Cam Seidl came on to close it out after some trouble made it 7-6. Iverson got the win going two innings in relief following starter Joel Delorit who went 8 solid innings.

Getting back to what Suicide said about the pitching staff for the Pointers, 3 more pitchers got added to Northwoods league teams recently with Eric Van Beck being added to the Green Bay Bullfrogs, Jack Archie being added to the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters and Ryan Iverson being added to the Wisconsin Woodchucks. Now in no way am I saying that the Pointers staff is loaded because they have so many pitchers playing in the league but it certainly will help getting to work with their respective teams and maybe gaining confidence for next season. Also as he mentioned getting Cody Koback back would be a huge gain for the rotation but for the time being nice to see the Pointers represented so well in the Northwoods League

I'd like to say congrats to the Pointers on the Midwest regional title. I think everyone knew the team could hit but once Koback went down they weren't sure how the staff would respond and as they showed last week at the regional they've all done a pretty good job getting it done this year despite being understaffed. Also kudos to Iverson who I learned is only pitching because he broke his left hand in Florida which meant he couldn't bat and instead of taking the medical red shirt decided to go to the bullpen to help them out, pretty cool that he ended up scoring the winning run. Now let's hope the staff can stay hot and let's bring a national championship back to Point!

Nice to see Point have live stats at home games now, maybe its been going on for awhile but I just realized it today

Yeah nice to see Point take care of business today and hopefully will do so this weekend against Superior to set up the big series with Whitewater next weekend. Interesting that Iverson's pitching although I'm not surprised seeing as how he's already played catcher, 2nd base, and outfield as a Pointer but so far so good on the mound. Hopefully the offense will keep rolling and the pitching will hold up

Not sure why Archambeau isn't playing but I'm pretty sure Koback's out for the year with an elbow issue

Gotta love seeing a 5 run inning all with 2 outs for the Pointers!!

4-4
