Jeff Donovan was a one-man wrecking crew for the Warhawks in a 6-2 victory in the nightcap of Saturday's key doubleheader against archrival UW-Stevens Point. The Warhawks jumped on the board first as Donovan plated David Cladis on a sacrifice fly in the third.
UW-W erupted for five runs in the seventh inning. With a man on first Drew Eichstaedt and Rob Coe put back to back singles together to score the first run of the inning.
It was Donovan-time again when the senior blasted a broke the game open by putting towering three-run home run by J-DOE.
Matt Beyer then reached on a fielder's choice and stole second, his sixth steal of the year. Dylan Friend singled in Beyer and the inning ended with Whitewater up 6-0.
Point fought back in the bottom half of the inning scoring two runs but could get no closer as they plated two more runs to bring the game to 6-2 but could not push any more runs across resulting in U-Dub-Dub's doubleheader sweep.
On the mound, Donovan went eight innings with Eric Schmitz pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Donovan scattered seven hits, walked one and struck out six to raise his record to 5 & 0 on the season.
UW-SP used four pitchers, with starter Joel Delorit, 2-1, taking the loss.
Drew Eichstaedt and Rob Coe had two hits apiece for UW-W, with no Pointer collecting more than one hit.
UW-Whitewater, 13-2 overall and 6-0 in the WIAC, will wind up the four-game weekend series Sunday with another twinbill at University Field in Point. First pitch is set for 12-Noon.
