Coe's bat leads Warhawks to an 8-6 win over Mount Vernon Nazarene (Ohio)

The UW-Whitewater baseball team ran its record to 6 & 1 on the season following an 8-6 victory over Mt. Vernon Nazarene (Ohio) Monday morning in Auburndale, Florida.

Rob Coe continued his torrid pace at the plate with 3 RBI on a 2 for 5 day at the plate. The senior catcher from Appleton has driven in 14 runs in his team’s first seven games of the season.

Along with Coe, Dan Putnam continues to do damage at the plate going 3 for 5 to improve his batting average to a team leading .560. Putnam has hit safely in all six Warhawk games this season.

Seven different Warhawk runners scored in Monday morning’s win. The Hawks left just six runners on base.

Justin Lambert earned the win going seven and two-thirds giving up six runs (five earned), walking four, and striking out eight. The junior from Mount Horeb is 1-0 and following his first start of the season.

The Warhawks will be going for a second win Monday afternoon in a game vs. Midwest regional rival St. Thomas (Minn). First pitch is set for 2 p.m.
