The UW-Whitewater baseball team sets its goals prior to each season. One of those goals was accomplished Sunday afternoon as the Warhawks have clinched its 9th WIAC regular season championship in the past 11 years.
The Hawks cliched no less than a share of the title with its 11-3 win in game-one of Sunday's doubleheader at Superior.
Whitewater clinched the outright title with a 10-2 win in game-two of the twin bill. Second-place Stevens Point split its doublehheader against La Crosse - winning the first game 10-9. Point lost game-two 15-5 in eight innings.
UW-Whitewater head coach John Vodenlich told Voice's Eye on Baseball that winning the conference championship is just one of several goals for the 31 & 4 Warhawks.
"We want this every year, there's no doubt about it," Vodenlich said following Sunday's clinching of the WIAC championship. "I would be lying if I told you our minds are anything but on the upcoming NCAA Division III Regional that will be played in Whitewater. Not to say the WIAC postseason tournament is not important.
Whitewater will host the 2010 WIAC Postseason Tournament beginning on March 14th. The NCAA Division III Midwest Regional will take place the following week.
Much more will be coming up later this evening, but its time to head out to dinner. In the words of Homer Simpson - Ummm Food.
