A soggy start to the NCAA D-3 CWS

Fox Cities Stadium

Two games were washed out on day one of the NCAA Division 3 College World Series at Fox Cities Stadium and La Crosse wishes their opening round game would have been lost to Mother Nature as well.

Both games on day one featured rain delays.  State University of New York – Cortland, won the opener 1-0 over Emory.

La Crosse and Trinity started their game more than two hours behind schedule, then after four innings, waited out a 4-hour, 40 minute rain delay.  When play resumed, Trinity picked up where they left off and rolled  to a convincing 8-0 win over the Eagles. [Read more…]

Cortland sweeps La Crosse with big 9th inning (D-3 World Series)

By

NCAA Baseball Championship logoUW-La Crosse was three outs away from forcing a third and deciding game against top-ranked SUNY-Cortland at the NCAA Division 3 College World Series today.  But Cortland had something else in mind.

Cortland rallied in the 9th for five runs on four hits and pulled out a 6-2 victory in winning the program’s first national title.  They finished 45-4 on the season, winning the title in their 13th attempt.

La Crosse was making its first trip to the World Series and finished runner-up.

Joe Miller allowed one run and six hits in 5 1/3 innings for the Eagles.  Miller also pitched six innings in La Crosse’s 3-2 win over Emory in 12 innings on Saturday.

 

La Crosse falls in World Series championship opener

By

NCAA Baseball Championship logoIt was a long day for the UW-La Crosse Eagles on Tuesday.  La Crosse was able to reach the best-of-three championship round against top-ranked SUNY-Cortland by holding on to beat Trinity University of Texas 10-7 in an elimination game.  The game included a 5 hour, 4 minute rain delay.

The Eagles would need to pick up and face Cortland in game 1 of the best-of-three championship, but they fell behind by 5 runs early and lost the championship opener 11-3.

Game 2 is set for 11 a.m. this morning.  La Crosse needs a win to force a third and deciding game later today.

It’ll be a tall order for the Eagles, trying to find a way to beat the number-1 team in the nation twice.  La Crosse (36-15) is looking for its first National title.

Cortland (44-4) is in the same boat.
