Strange stat from the two games vs La Crosse...a combined 13 batters HBP.

I need to correct misinformation I have previously posted when I said WHITEWATER'S 36 consecutive games winning streak broke the previous record held by Marietta and Aurora.

In 2008 Trinity College (Conn.) won the national championship finishing the season with a 45-1 record.  Their only loss came in the first game on championship day so their streak ended at 44 games.  They lost to John Hopkins who had beaten us 12-11 in the loser's bracket to advance to the championship. After losing the first game Trinity won the championship 5-4 on a base loaded walk.

My apologies for the error. When I goggled it that was the information provided. Another example of don't believe everything you read on the internet I guess.

 

The WARHAWKS get a pair of runs in the first and pile on a bunch over the final 3 innings easily beating Ripon 11-1 (8 inn.).  Ethan Wickman started surrendering1 1ER on a pair of hits and striking out 3 over 5IP for the win.

Quote from: Mitch Hall on May 03, 2026, 09:05:05 PMCongrats indeed to the unbeaten Warhawks and to BW. Has anyone swept the slate before?

UWO swept the WSUC slate numerous times in the past, but that was when less conference games were played and you didn't play every conference opponent four games each.

My bad.  My first post included the fact it was since the change in the scheduling format but I didn't like the way it read so I deleted it and when I rewrote it I forgot to include that.  Didn't mean to neglect the Titans.

Thanks Mitch and Cubs. 

The WARHAWKS current consecutive wins streak of 35 has established a new D3 national record surpassing Marietta and Aurora who each had 33 game streaks.

Game One:
This was the most competitive game as the WARHAWKS Gradin Taschner and River Falls Shaun Gavin were locked in a pitcher's dual. Both went 8 innings and hits were scattered. The WARHAWKS got a pair of runs in the 3rd on Jackson Koenig's triple and Danny Hoppers sac fly and then added another run in the 4th on a Jackson Spring single. River Falls scored in the ninth but left the tying run on base.  The 3-1 was the final.

Quote from: badgerwarhawk on April 13, 2026, 05:15:31 PMSome question whether game two will be played due to threatening weather.  If the game is not played it will not be made up.

Game two cancelled in the top of second with the WARHAWKS leading 2-0.

The Whitewater website has the series finale as being "postponed after the start of the second inning. The make-up date is still to be determined."

I was relying on the information provided by the broadcasting crew.  I'd be more than surprised if we drive up to EC a third time

Safe to say you're surprised? 

Yes, but I can understand why the league wants the game played.

WARHAWKS take a pair of close games over Platteville today 3-1 and 4-3.  The two teams were 3-1 after four innings before pitching put an end to any further scoring.  Jackson Koenig (W,4-0) got the start pitching 5.2 inning, allowing 4 hits, an unearned run with a walk and 4 strikeouts.  Franklin Kirchner (S,2) relieved with 3.1 hitless innings walking a batter and striking out 4.  Dominik McVay had a pair of hits and an RBI.  Aaron Holland and Landen Seymour also had RBIs.

The WARHAWKS picked up 3 runs in their first at bat on 3 hits, 2 passed balls and a double steal of third and home and held a 4-1 lead after the fourth.  Platteville pulled to within a run with a pair of runs in the sixth but Theo Zeidler (S,2) shut the door with 3 hitless innings in relief with a strikeout to preserve the win.  Gradin Taschner (W,3-0) started and allowed 5 hits and 1 r/er with a walk and 6 strikeouts over 5 innings before being relieved. Skyler Sievert pitched an inning. Jackson Spring had a pair of hits and an RBI for the WARHAWKS.

Because it may have some bearing in the conference tournament seeding the postponed game 4 against Eau Claire will be resumed on April 29. The WARHAWKS lead 2-0 with Eau Claire batting in the bottom of the second.

You can't minimize what the WARHAWKS have accomplished to date. Winning 22 consecutive games with a roster that includes 22 new faces and lost at least 3 of the projected starting pitchers to the portal and the fourth to an injury in the first game of the season is a significant accomplishment regardless of the state of the conference. The league may be down some but it's still 68-32 in nonconference play with only a single team sporting a losing record.

The WARHAWKS swept Platteville yesterday 9-6 and 12-1 (7 inn.).  Sam Steuber (5-0) went 6 innings allowing 5 hits, 2 runs/earned with a pair of walks and 5 strikeouts for the win in game one.  Gradin Taschner picked up his 5th save.  Andy Thies had 3 hits including a home run and drove in 4 runs.  Aaron Holland also had 3 hits and an RBI.  Dominik McVay had an RBI.

Game two was a run rule win for the WARHAWKS.  Ben Lee (3-0) got the win pitching 6 innings, allowing 3 hits, 1 run/earned, walking a pair and striking out 5. Skyler Sievert threw a hitless inning in relief and had a strikeout.  Holland and Thies continued their hot hitting with 3 hits apiece and were joined by Evan Olson's 3 hits. Leyton Bowers, McVay and Landen Seymour had a pair of hits.  Jackson Spring hit a 3 run home run and Seymour also had 3 RBIs.  Olson and Bowers each had a pair of RBIs while Holland and Thies each had a single RBI.
