UW-Whitewater’s Dan Putnam and Jeff Donovan have been named to the 2011 D3baseball.com All-America team. Putnam has been named to the 2nd team, Donovan to the 3rd team All-American squad.Putnam, a senior from Ashland, Wisconsin, has been the “igniter” of the UW-Whitewater offense from his lead-off position in the batting order. Putnam enters the NCAA Division III World Series hitting .411. He led the nation in hitting through mid-April and was hitting .500 entering the month of May. “Putt” tops the WIAC in hits (76) and walks (33) – proof-positive of his value as UWW’s lead-off hitter.
Donovan, a senior out of Wauwatosa East High School, has been named to D3baseball.com’s 3rd Team as a “utility” player. Translated, that means as both a first baseman and as a pitcher. Donovan enters play at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton Friday with a .390 batting average. His 50 RBI and 21 doubles is No. 1 in the WIAC. His 8 home runs are tied for first in the conference.
Donovan’s pitching statistics are equally as impressive. J-Doe will take a 10 & 0 and 1 save record into the World Series. His 82.2 inning pitched is second only to Riley Tincher on the Warhawks’ pitching staff.
