This week’s NCAA Division III Baseball Regional has featured some incredible baseball on Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium on the campus of UW-Whitewater.For the Warhawks it has meant three, one-run wins to advance to today’s championship round.
• 3-2 over St. Thomas in the Wednesday’s opener
• 7-6 in 10 innings over Hamline on Thursday
• 2-1 over WIAC rival and No. 1 seed UW-Stevens Point on Friday
In all three victories, Warhawk leftfielder Matt Beyer has either scored the game-winning run or recorded the game-winning RBI.
On Friday vs. Stevens Point, the Janesville native delivered the game winning hit – an RBI single in the 6th inning moments after freshman 3rd baseman Jared Fon had doubled with two out.
“When you have players stepping up, like Beyer delivering big hits all week, along with two freshmen - Dylan Friend yesterday (Thursday) and Jared Fon today (Friday) - you have to feel good about the future."
Sunday the UW-Whitewater baseball team will seek its first berth in the NCAA Division III World Series since finishing third at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton in 2008.
The Warhawks (35-11) will meet College of St. Scholastica (Minn.) (37-6) in the championship game of the double-elimination regional at noon today at James B. Miller Stadium. If the Hawks lose, a second bout will be held at 3 p.m.
