The UW-Whitewater baseball team didn’t let a two-hour delay in Friday morning’s WIAC tournament opener slow down the Warhawks’ offense.
Whitewater put six runs on the board in the first inning and cruised to a 21-1, seven inning run rule win over UW-Oshkosh in first-round action at University Field on the campus of UW-Stevens Point.
Andrew Eichstaedt’s grand slam in the first inning was the first of four home runs for Hawk hitters. Jeff Donovan, Rob Coe and Brent Young each “dialed 9” for the Hawks.
Jack Larsen was the surprise starting pitcher for Warhawk head coach John Vodenlich. The junior went the distance, allowing just four hits to improve his record to 3 & 0 on the season.
With Larsen getting the win, UWW now has Riley Tincher, Jeff Donovan and Justin Lambert fresh to start for the remainder of this weekend’s WIAC postseason tournament.
The Hawks now play No. 1 seed UW-Stevens Point at 3 p.m. with the winner advancing to Saturday’s championship bracket.
Much more to come after game-two.
