We certainly aren’t in Iowa but what a first day of action at the 2011 Division III Midwest Regional on Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium on the campus of UW-Whitewater was a “field of dreams” for baseball fans..
The final game is now over and in 13 innings, Hamline University (Minn) slips by St. Scholastica (Minn) by a score of 3 to 2.
The other two first round games were equally as exciting.
In game 1: Stevens Point beats Aurora 3-2 on UWSP’s Scott Considine’s suicide squeeze bunt in the bottom of the 10th inning scored Travis Tuschen on a bang-bang play at home plate.
In game 2: UW-Whitewater’s Jeff Donovan scores the game-winning run on a Matt Beyer sacrifice fly in the 6th inning and the Warhawks hold on for a 3-2 win over St. Thomas (Minn).
If you didn’t notice all three games ended with a 3-2 score!
Here is Thursday’s schedule in day-two of the regional…
• 10 a.m. - Aurora University (30-13) vs. St. Thomas (27-17)
