The Warhawks take two from St. Thomas on Thursday behind excellent outings from Jones and Wuetrich. Solid hitting up and down the lineup as players all seemed to settle in.

Two more today against Concordia Moorhead in a very chilly Minneapolis.

Depending on how things go this season, Whitewater might just be the biggest beneficiary of the whole fiasco as UWO, as Jones was set to attend UWO until the university decided not to renew Coach Lechnir's contract.

UP IN THE AIR: Wauwatosa West pitcher Austin Jones will no longer play at UW-Oshkosh since the program did not renew the contract of longtime coach Tom Lechnir.

"I've been looking at some Division I schools," Jones said. "I talked to Northern Illinois and there's a few other schools that kind of just come into play. I'm still exploring my options, but I'll be done with it soon."

One teams loss was another's gain!!!

The WARHAWKS opened the season with a pair of wins over St Thomas by scores of 5-2 and 10-1.  St Thomas scored in the top of the first but the WARHAWKS responded with five unanswered runs before the Tommies scored again in the sixth.  Austin Jones got the win striking out six and holding the Tommies to 3 hits in 5.2 innings.  Mike Nompleggi pitched a hit less 1.1 innings in relief.  Cal Aldridge and Will Helbing each drove in a pair.  Helbing and Blake Fleischman each had a pair of hits and the WARHAWKS got extra base hits from six different players.  The Tommies duplicated their first inning run with a home run in game two.  But this time the WARHAWKS responded with ten unanswered runs while shutting out the Tommies the rest of the way.  Westin Wuethrich, a Madison College transfer, picked up the win striking out nine while allowing only the home run and two other hits in five innings.  Nompleggi and Michael Kaska each surrendered a hit in an inning of releif.  Nompleggi struck out a pair.  Five WARHAWKS led by Fleischman and Steve Chamberlain, who each drove in a pair, drove in runs.  Daytona Bryden, Brett Krause and Matt Wary each drove in single runs.

Westin Wuethrich, a Madison College transfer, picked up the win striking out nine while allowing only the home run and two other hits in five innings. 

While Wuetrich played at Madison College, he actually transferred from the University of Washington, where he appeared in five games for the Huskies last season.

That does seem like a huge number of kids not make it to the roster.  My guess is some kids are grey-shirting and some kids just didn't make the roster, maybe some changed their mind and aren't playing at all.  I didn't come up with the list, a website did and I just relayed the info to the board.

Also, the Ray Greco saga at Point can be put to rest.  Was told he's transferring to D2 Quincy University, they have offered him a scholarship.

Shah six innings. Kaska one inning of relief.

That makes two straight years that Shah has thrown well in the month of March.  Will be interesting to see if he can carry it through to the postseason this year.

Correct...  Would have transferred this year if not for the shoulder injury.  Am guessing Quincy not too happy to hear he injured the other shoulder playing basketball forcing another surgery.

WARHAWKS split losing 2-1 and winning 3-2.  Brett Krause's RBI groundout scored the only WARHAWKS run in the second inning and that run stood to the sixth when the Cobbers leadoff was hit by a pitch and subsequently scored tying the game. The Cobbers scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh on a pair of singles.  Ankur Shah struck out six, walked one and surrendered one earned run on four hits in six innings on the mound.  Michael Kaska took the loss when he allowed two hits in bottom of the seventh.  Matt Wary and McCauley Cox each doubled for the WARHAWKS who were held to just five hits. 

The two teams each scored an unearned run in their first at bat of game two.  Cal Adridge doubled to drive in the WARHAWKS run and the Cobbers scored on a RBI single.  That score stood to the top of sixth when the Cobbers got a second unearned run to take the lead.  But the WARHAWKS answered in the bottom of the inning with pair.  With one out Cal Aldridge and Steve Chamberlain drew walks and both advanced into scoring position on a passed ball.  Both scored when Krause followed with a single.  Heath Renz earned the win after pitching all seven innings.  Renz allowed eight hits, all singles, while striking out four and walking one.  Led by Krause's pair of hits the WARHAWKS were held to five hits.

Jones/Wuetrich/Shah/Renz looks to be a VERY formidable weekend rotation, with Nompleggi as nice option in relief for the Warhawks!!!

[Baseball Geek]

If someone wouldn't mind indulging a pretty dumb question ...

WIAC = "why-ack" or "wee-ack"?

I have heard both.

[badgerwarhawk]

Both are used depending on who you listen to.  I call it the "why-ack" personally.   Feel free to use either interchangeably as you wish.
