Warhawks open WIAC season this weekend by hosting UW-Superior


The UW-Whitewater baseball team opens the 2011 WIAC season this weekend (4/2 & 4/3) by hosting UW-Superior for a pair of doubleheaders.

According to Weatherbug.com, expect plenty of sunshine Saturday with the high temperature forecast at 53. It will be breezy with the wind blowing in from left field at 10-15 mph.

Superior (3-6) will be playing its first game since its Arizona spring training tip ended on March 25th.

Eastern Connecticut scored twice in the bottom of the eighth inning, with a sacrifice fly plating the go-ahead run as the Warriors edged the Yellowjackets for the second time in a week, 13-12, in Tucson Arizona.

One thing that we've learned through the first seven games of the season for the Yellowjackets is that they aren't afraid to score runs. With the exception of the first two games against Division I Illinois-Chicago, the Yellowjackets have scored 61 runs, an average of 12.2 runs per-game. Unfortunately, they've also been giving up the runs. In those same five games, they've allowed 51 runs, including double digits three times. I’ll have updates throughout the day and a complete postgame report here on voiceseyeonbaseball.blogspot.com.
