The WARHAWKS (3-2) pounded out 21 hits good for a 16-5 win over McMurray (6-8) in Pensecola. The WARHAWKS scored at least two runs in six of the 9 innings. Eli Frank (5x5, 6RBI, 2b,HR) Danny Hopper (3x5, 2 RBI, 2B), Dominik McVay (3x5), Matt Scolan (2x5, RBI, 2B) and Daryl Jackson (2x5, 3RBI) all had multiple hit games.  Alex Najares had a pair of RBI. Matt Berendt started pitching 3.2I allowing 4ER on 6 hits. Jack Hagen gave up a 1ER on 2 hits. Michael Hilken (2I,2H) and Max Huseboe (1I) also relieved. Berendt gets the win.

Same two meet tomorrow followed by a varsity reserve game.

Even in a 7-inning game, the starter needs to go at least four innings to qualify for the win...  Looks like Hilken is probably the guy that should be credited with the win instead?

I saw when Whitewater was playing Trinity that Adam Cootway didn't play the last 2 games against them.  I assumed he got injured at some point in the 2nd game.  I see that he also didn't play yesterday for the Warhawks.  If he continues to miss games into the conference season that is a huge bat out of the lineup.  It's certainly something to monitor for the conference race.  La Crosse looks insane on paper, Whitewater is always tough.  Stevens Point needs to pull their head out of their ....La Crosse needs someone to challenge them.

Not that there is really any traffic going on these baseball forums, I have come across a bunch of WIAC 2024 commitments and I'll post them by team as I have time.

I guess there is no information on Cootway?

No, nothing that I've heard.  Obviously it's significant because we're headed home tomorrow and he hasn't played an inning in Florida.

The Warhawks (6-3) got strong pitching and pounded out 17 hits beating 11th ranked Birmingham-Southern (10-6)17-3 in the first of two.  Cade Berendt (W,1-0) pitched 7 strong innings allowing just 4 hits, a pair of earned runs and striking out 3 before being relieved by Eisenbarth who allowed 1 hit, an earned run and striking out one in the final two innings. Holland led the hitters with 3 hits and an RBI. Hitters getting a pair included Scolon (2RBI), Frank (2B,3B,2RBI), Padan (2B, 2RBI) and Hooper (2 RBI).  Koenig (2B) and Jackson had solo RBI.

The WARHAWKS solid pitching continued in game two though the game was much more defensive with the WARHAWKS (7-3) beating Birmingham-Southern (10-7) 6-2.  Hagan (3-0) got the W allowing 4H and 2ER while striking out 6 and walking a pair over 6.2 innings. Burk (S,1) picked up the first WARHAWKS save of the year allowing just 1 hit and striking out 3 in 2.1 innings.  The WARHAWKS had just six hits in the contest. Padan (3B) had the only extra base hit and an RBI. Frank had a pair of RBI while both Holland and Hooper drove in one.

The WARHAWKS went a combined 8-8 on the basepaths in the two contests.
