The No. 9 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team erased a seven-run deficit but was edged 10-9 against No. 12 UW-Stevens Point in the first game of the best-of-three NCAA Whitewater Super Regional at Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium.
Trailing 9-2 through six innings, the Warhawks (36-10 overall) tallied two in the seventh, two in the eighth and three in the ninth to tie the game at 9-9, with the last two runs coming on a run-scoring double by catcher Ryan Norton.
The Pointers (39-8), who were the home team Friday by result of a coin flip, responded with one run in the bottom of the ninth to take the first game.
Left fielder Matt Scolan tallied three hits, including one home run, and totaled two runs and three RBIs. Norton finished with three hits.
Third baseman Matt Korman registered two hits, one run scored and two RBIs, while designated hitter Sam Paden collected four hits, two runs scored and one RBI. Centerfielder Zach Campbell added two hits, one run scored and one RBI.
Pitcher Cade Berendt dropped to 4-1 on the season with the loss.
Game 2 of the series is set for 11 a.m. Saturday. If UW-Whitewater wins, a third and decisive game will be played for the Super Regional title 45 minutes following conclusion of the 11 a.m. game.
Last Thursday, May 19, Whitewater traveled to Big Foot to play in the final round of the Rock Valley Conference Tournament.
In an exciting game, both teams finished regulation time with three goals. Whitewater’s goals were scored by Caelyn Caputo, Mayte Navejas, and Sophia Garcia.
Each team scored an additional goal during overtime, leading to a penalty kick shootout. Big Foot won the PK shootout with two saves by keeper Maylani Venegas. Whitewater’s goalkeeper Marina Linos made a penalty kick save as well.
Big Foot finishes 5th in the conference and Whitewater finishes 6th.

According to a post on wkow.com, “A Sun Prairie man facing trial for “sexting” with a teenager in his soccer club resigned a UW-Whitewater coaching position five years ago after being accused of an inappropriate relationship with a woman student-athlete. Jamie Lieberman, 34, has a court hearing next month after being charged with felony exposing a child to harmful descriptions. Authorities say Lieberman recruited the teen to play with his soccer, or futsal, club before texting her sexually provocative proposals.
State records show Lieberman was a coach with both the men’s and women’s soccer teams at UW-Whitewater in 2016. In an Oct. 18, 2016 email from Interim Athletic Director Randy Marnocha to Lieberman, Marnocha stated Lieberman was accused of being in an “improper amorous relationship” with a player.”
