UW-Whitewater and UW-Stevens Point entered the weekend with the Warhawks leading the second-place Pointers by three games in the WIAC standings. Point heads back home Monday night still three games back after splitting the extended weekend doubleheaders.
“You can look at it at the start of the week that we did what we needed to to stay where we are,” UWW head coach John Vodenlich told reporters following Monday’s doubleheader sweep. “All that is good but we were better than them (Point) today except for the end and that is very frustrating.”
Of course winning the WIAC regular season title is a big goal for Whitewater, Coach Vodenlich talks about the need to play more consistent the final 10 days of the regular season.
“I don’t want our guys to spend too much time worrying about winning the title,” Vodenlich said. “What we need to do is to start playing better baseball consistently and the rest of the stuff will fall in place..
The Hawks will wind up its eight-game home stand Wednesday by hosting UW-Oshkosh in doubleheader action.
The Warhawks will honor former player Eric Baldwin prior to game-one on Wednesday. Baldwin, now a professional poker player, was a captain on UWW’s 2005 National Championship team. Earlier this year Baldwin donated $200 thousand to the UW-Whitewater baseball program. The funding went to purchase lights for the new James B. Miller baseball complex.
