The UW-Whitewater was fresh off staying alive in the 2011 NCAA Division III World Series with an 8-3 victory over Western New England College Saturday afternoon at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton.
Following the game the Hawks were quick to jump on the Van Galder Warhawk Express motor coach back to the team hotel – right?
Wrong! Less than 24 hours after its emotional 5-4 loss to Buena Vista in opening round action, the UW-Whitewater baseball team hung around the stadium to enjoy the elimination bracket win with family and friends.
Jefferson County Daily Union sports editor Jeff Seisser called me to say there was a postgame wiffle ball game going on out in the parking lot.
For about an hour, some Warhawk players and friends played a wiffle ball game with some "future Warhawks," including Sam Vodenlich, son of Warhawk baseball coach John Vodenlich; Tyler Seisser, son of Daily Jefferson County Union sports editor/photographer Jeff Seisser; and Landon and Lindsay Leipold, children of Warhawk head football coach Lance Leipold.
You think the kids will have memories of playing wiffle ball against the Warhawks in years to come?
Final score: Future Warhawks 75, Current Warhawks 0!
