Ben Kulmann set to play in his 106th consecutive game this weekend


Ben Kuhlmann has been a fixture at second base for the Warhawks over the past three years. The senior out of Minneapolis, Minnesota Southwest High School has started 105 consecutive games for the Warhawks.

Beyer played a major role in Wednesday’s doubleheader sweep of Oshkosh. Ben finished the day 4 for 7 including a home run and triple, knocked in two runs, scored six runs, and walked three times.

“It was really nice to actually see the ball better,” Kuhlmann told Voices Eye on Baseball Blog following the twinbill. “It’s been a kind of a struggle lately but today it felt real good at the plate.”

As far as beating archrival UW-Oshkosh 22-6 and 13-6 is concerned?

“It felt really good,” Kulmann said. “Anytime you sweep a team like Oshkosh its great. As I look back over the years I owed them that. They’ve been one of those teams that its nice to come out and sweep especially as a senior.”

Kuhlman admits there is plenty of baseball to play this season and the team still has goals to conquer.

“We’ll see what happens,” the senior second baseman said. “I’m really excited about this team, it’s the best team I’ve ever been on. I just hope we continue what we do, day in and day out, and get to the ship.”

The Hawks will take a 29 and 4 record to Superior this weekend to wrap up the WIAC portion of the 2010 schedule. UW-W is 17 & 3 in the conference, four games up on second place UW-Stevens Point..
