Wahawk pitching in good shape heading into Friday's Regional action

One of the aspects of postseason tournament runs is the momentum a team can put together will a couple of wins.

On the field following Thursday’s 7-6, 10 inning win over Hamline University there was no doubt that the UW-Whitewater baseball team is “riding high” as the only unbeaten team left in the double-elimination NCAA Division III Midwest Regional at James B. Miller Stadium.

“If you can’t feel good and positive about what’s going on right now then your in the wrong place,” Warhawk head coach told voiceseyeonbaseball.blogspot.com. “Confidence is high right now and we hope to ride the positive momentum to a win tomorrow (Friday).”

Despite using five pitchers in Friday’s 10 inning win, the Hawks still haven’t used several key pitchers out of the bullpen and Donovan, Tincher and Lambert can be used.

Remember, Jeff Donovan only pitched three innings in the Warhawks’ “pitch by committee” approach in its 3-2 game-one win over St. Thomas.

Donovan says he looks forward to taking the mound again.

“This is what its all about,” the senior indicated after Thursday’s win. “I’m ready to go nine innings if they ask me.”

Whitewater remains unbeaten and in a favorable position heading into the final two day’s of this week’s Division III regional.
