After a two-week weather delay, the Whitewater Whippet baseball team was finally back on the field to take on conference rival Edgerton. The Whippets would come away with a 3-2 win and improved to 4-0 on the season.
Whitewater would jump out to an early lead after James Dedrick led off the game being hit by a pitch, then advanced to second on a wild pitch, Dylan Pease laid down a sac bunt to move him to 3rd and would score on another wild pitch to make it 1-0. Bryce Parrish would make it 2-0 with a solo home run to left at the end of 1 inning. Edgerton would not go away quietly as they got a big two-out 2 run single in the 4th inning to tie the game at 2. The Whippets would quickly answer in the bottom of the 4th as Cooper Pease singled and Danny Harnack moved him over to 2nd with a ground ball to 1st. With 2 outs, Chris Dedrick came up with a big hit as he lined to center scoring the go-ahead and eventual winning run. James Dedrick picked up the win as he went 6 innings giving up 4 hits, 2 earned runs and striking out 4 while walking 4. Bryce Parrish would pick up the save by closing out the game in the 7th. Coach Pease was happy to walk away with a win after a two-week layoff. He said, “We had a number of mental mistakes and kind of looked like a team that had not played in two weeks but anytime you can get a win, especially over a quality opponent is good”.
Whitewater has a big stretch of games coming up after all of the postponements and will be playing up to 4-5 games a week for the rest of the season (weather permitting). Next up on the Whippet schedule is East Troy on, Tuesday April 24th at home with first pitch at 4:45 pm.

From Coach Dittmer:
“We lost our meet 0-7 to Edgerton. We were outplayed in every flight by a very good team. They were a focused team that made very few mistakes and forced our players to try to hit shots that we weren’t comfortable with. Joe Creanza, despite losing, played extremely well at #3 singles. He did a good job of moving his opponent around the court and staying patient in long rallies.”
