WARHAWKS lose a pair of starters. Sam Vomhof and Cade Berendt entered the portal and both signed with D1 programs.  Vomhof got a full ride and a small amount of cash to play his covid season at Northern Illinois and Berendt got a full ride to pitch for University of Illinois- Chicago. 

F' the transfer portal.

Oh man that sucks for whitewater and I honestly had them along with La Crosse as 2 of the top 5 teams next year. Hopefully Ben Lee slides into Berendts spot but I know I was not looking forward to the Pointers facing Ben Lee as your number 3 man in rotation. Pointers won’t be getting Canterbury back which Hurts them also and if Comers not back they have no chance.

The transfer portal giveth, and the transfer portal taketh....  Unfortunately, that's the era we are in now and I don't see things changing anytime soon.

Anyway, I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised to hear not one, but two guys get FULL RIDES for baseball.  There was a time that if a guy received even a 50% scholarship, it was considered a great deal!  Good for both Sam and Cade though!  I'll be curious to see how they do at the D1 level next Spring.

I’m not sure what’s going on with Connor Kurki but I know he’s not at Coastal Carolina any longer wouldn’t it be a blessing if he went to Point next year?

I'm going to guess it's a longshot that Kurki will be pitching anywhere next season, muchless Stevens Point....  Apparently he entered the transfer portal and was planning on playing with the Rafters again this summer, however an injury put a halt to some of those plans.  There was some speculation that Tommy John Surgery might be required, but I haven't gotten any confirmation as far as whether he went the surgery or rehab route.

Any thoughts on a potential candidate for the position?

Former Whitewater player and assistant coach Steve Bartlein named Falcons Head Coach.

This seems like a GREAT hire for River Falls.

Just a really good person and baseball coach.  I hate to see him leave but wish him nothing but success. Except those four games a year

Two-time First Team ALL WIAC selection and 3rd Team All American Matt Scherrman hit the transfer portal earlier this summer and will be finishing his baseball career at Creighton. His departure will leave an unexpected hole in the #3 spot of the UWO order.

Looks like there may have been a late switch, as Vomhof will be joining UWO transfer Matt Scherrman and heading to Creighton.

Will be a little more interesting to follow Creighton now next season with a pair of former WIAC standouts on their roster...

Well, good news!  Kurki was able to go the rehab route and avoid Tommy John surgery.

With that said, Kurki will look to continue his career at the D1 level and is heading to Northern Kentucky next season.
