Quote from: cubs on July 21, 2025, 12:40:49 PMThree pitchers from Whitewater's 2025 National Championship squad have transferred to the DI level, following in the footsteps of former teammate Michael Hilker (Arizona):

Cade Hansen -----> Baylor
Logan Eisenbarth ----> Florida Gulf Coast
Jack Hagen ----> Butler

I'd pretty much figured Hansen and Eisenbarth were likely candidates for the portal but Hagen was a surprise.  I hope they all do well and find a spot they like. It really hurts though. Pitching was going to be a strength next year and now the starting rotation is decimated. I've got a feeling we're going to be relying on some young pitchers. 

Holland has set the program's single season hit record. Sorry don't have the number.

Messiah scores 3, 19-3 B7

WARHAWKS deep into Messiah bullpen 16-0 B5.  The run record is 37 so we've got a ways to go.
GO HAWKS

Every WARHAWKS starter scored at least 1 run and every starter, with one exception, had at least one rbi in the 18-3 win.

Lee did a really nice job on the mound and gave us a solid 7 innings. Hopper is having a really nice series.

Cade Hansen tomorrow. It would be nice to get it done in two games.

Quote from: badgerwarhawk on May 27, 2025, 03:44:45 PMI remember one year in Appleton when we played the last game and it didn't end until after midnight.

In 2016, I remember getting back to the hotel at 1:30 AM one night!

I was driving home and it was about 3AM when I came across a kid hitchhiking so I picked him up.  He was drunk and carrying a can of beer which I made him dump before he got in the car.  He told me he was hitchhiking to get his car which I thought was kind of odd.  After we drove a few miles I asked where he was headed and he told me a town that was in exact opposite direction from the one we were traveling.  So I pulled over and when I told him he was headed in the wrong direction he started arguing with me. We debated for a minute or two before I could convince him and told him to go hitchhike on the other side of the road.  He did that and I drove on.  About a minute or two later a County Sheriff drove by me headed in his direction.  I've always wondered what happened to that kid. 

I remember one year in Appleton when we played the last game and it didn't end until after midnight.

After really not hitting the ball that well in Adrian the WARHAWKS bats came alive today. 18 hits in 8 at bats. Holland and Cootway with 5 RBI apiece. We generally don't hit Brinkman that hard. Hansen was sharp.  I think that was the first 9 inning complete game by one of our pitchers this season. It was Hansen's third. Defense was spot on with several nice plays from Jackson and Thies.

Though I like our odds tomorrow baseball is weird game and anything can happen.  I expect we'll throw Huseboe.

GO HAWKS

I can confirm that our mounds inability to allow metal spikes was the reason that we were unable to host the regional.  That comes directly from the university's athletic director.  The problem is being remedied by installing a new mound, which can accommodate metal spikes, for the super regional. Mystery solved

Things got a tad hairy in the ninth as Adrian was able to load the bases before Hagan got the final out and preserved the 4-1 win.  Ben Lee got the start and threw a solid 7 inning, 5 hit and 4 strike out effort. Lee really had a rhythm going. Hopper had a pair of hits and rbi while Paden and McVay also drove in runs.  All the runs in the game were scored by the third inning. 

GO HAWKS

Three things: Titians still have a game to win to advance.  I'm tempted to delete my previous post. I don't think they'll have any problem doing that but I'm not sure what the heck I was thinking when I posted it.

Sorry about that.

That was GAC's first loss of the Regional against UWO.

I think it's Tomasiewicz's first time to advance beyond the regional.

WARHAWKS struggle at the plate, lose a three run lead and then walk it off 4-3 in the 11th on a two out walk to Jackson, his third of the day, followed by an RBI double from McVay.  On to the championship.  Eisenbarth gets the win in relief.

GO HAWKS!!

LaCrosse beats Claremont Mudd Scripts 8-6   Witte, Walton homer. DePrez gets the win in relief

Platteville got some excellent pitching and made a bunch of solid plays with their gloves preventing us from getting anything going. They played like they were playing for their season.  Meidenbau's rbi double and 2 run home run gave them all the offense they needed.

The WARHAWKS (33-3,23-3) clinched the conference's regular season championship by defeating Platteville  (17-18,12-14) in a pair of one run games.  On the back of a three run home run the Pioneers took a early 3-0 lead in game one.  But the WARHAWKS responded with a combined four runs over the next two innings scoring what would be the winning run on a wild pitch.  Hagen (4-1) started and after a shaky couple of innings settled in allowing 6 hits, 3 runs and striking out 7 in 5 innings for the win. Wickman and Eisenbarth (S,2) surrendered just a pair of hits and struck out 4 over the final 4 scoreless innings.  Scolon finished 3x3 with a double while Thies, Paden and McVey had rbi.

Game two was another nailbiter.  The WARHAWKS took an early 1-0 lead but the Pioneers matched that plus a pair and led 3-1 after their half of the third inning. Scolon and Cootway both hit rbi doubles in the bottom of the inning tying the game at 3-3. A Jackson rbi single in the fourth put the WARHAWKS in the lead 4-3 where the score remained until the 8th when the Pioneers tied it with a solo home run.  The WARHAWKS loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth but Pioneer pitching escaped the threat by coaxing three straight fly outs.  However they weren't as fortunate in the 10th when with the bases loaded Paden drew a five pitch walk off base on balls. Huseboe started allowing 6 hits, 4 runs with a pair of walks and 7 Ks in an 8 inning outing.  G.Hansen relieved him striking out the side in his inning and Malkow (2-0) picked up the win surrendering a single hit and walk with a strikeout in his inning.  Holland (3x5), Thies (2x4) and Spring (2x4) had multiple hits while Scolon, Cootway, Paden, Jackson and Spring all had a rbi.

Two one run wins. One on a wild pitch and the other on a walk off base on balls.  Sometimes better lucky than good.

Two more with the Pioneers today and then Ripon on Tuesday before the conference tournament starts Thursday.

My bad, thanks for the correction
