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)

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.

La Crosse (34-15), which used five pitchers in the loss, must turn around and face Trinity at 11am this morning.  The loser goes home and the winner moves into the best-of-three championship series against top-ranked SUNY-Cortland (43-4).

The Championship series is scheduled to follow the La Crosse-Trinity game, but rain once again, continues to threaten the tournament.

Rain wiped out Day 3 of the NCAA Division III College Baseball World Series on Sunday at Fox Cities Stadium.

The delay gave the UW-La Crosse Eagles a day of rest, following their 3-2, 12-inning win late Saturday night over Emory College.  That game took 4 hours and 7 minutes to play and didn’t end until about 1 in the morning on Sunday.

La Crosse (35-13) will play the last game of the day today against the winner of an elimination game.

Action this morning is scheduled to start at 9am, weather permitting.

A victory tonight would put La Crosse in the championship round.

Warhawks shoot for World Series crown today

By

UW-Whitewater will be well rested when facing Emory today for the NCAA Division 3 College World Series Championship.  The Warhawks had yesterday off and will be shooting for their second World Series title, having won back in 2005.

The Warhawks are 3-0 in the double-elimination tournament and 43-7 on the season.  They’ll need to win just once to claim the title.  If Whitewater loses the opener, then a second Championship game would be played.

Emory comes into the game swinging a hot bat.  They combined to score 25 runs on 33 hits in a pair of elimination victories over Southern Maine and St. Thomas on Monday.

The Warhawks carry a 10-game win streak into play today.  Winning the championship would mean Whitewater would gain its first-ever sweep of the three major sports…football, men’s basketball and baseball, all in the same year.
