UW-Stevens Point
dropped a pair of games at UW-Oshkosh, but bounced back with a
four-game sweep of UW-Stout during a busy weekend that included six
games in three days. The Pointers have six more games this week,
playing a doubleheader Tuesday at St. Norbert and four games over
the weekend at UW-Platteville.
The Pointers lost to
UW-Oshkosh 5-4 in the opening game as Nat Richter (Green Bay, WI)
hit a two-run homer with two outs in the top of the ninth, but the
Titans rallied for two unearned runs in the bottom of the inning.
UW-Oshkosh then took the second game 12-6.
UW-Stevens Point beat
UW-Stout 7-4 and 12-11 on Saturday, scoring four runs in the bottom
of the ninth in the second game. The winning run came home on a
bases loaded walk by Jake Frombach (Stratford, WI), but the outcome
wasn�t determined until Sunday morning when the Pointers won a
protest after a baserunner was originally ruled out for not
immediately advancing to the next base. UW-Stevens Point completed
the sweep with 10-9 and 14-4 wins on Sunday.
Steve Wiczek (Stevens
Point, WI) continued his torrid hitting stretch by hitting .577
(15-for-26) with four doubles, three home runs and 17 RBI�s over the
weekend. He is now hitting .556 with six home runs and 25 RBI�s for
the season. Chuck Brehm (Spencer, WI) had four home runs in the
sweep over UW-Stout and drove in seven runs for the week. Matt
Simonson (Plover, WI) had a complete game win in the first game
