The No. 13 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team combined strong pitching and timely hitting Wednesday afternoon for a pair of wins at UW-Platteville in a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader.
The Warhawks (15-2 overall, 9-1 WIAC) trailed for the first four innings of the opener before emerging with a 5-1 victory, and took an early lead in Game 2 on their way to a 7-0 triumph.
In the nightcap, left fielder Matt Korman batted in the first four runs of the game, knocking a two-run single to right center in the top of the second and a two-out, two-run double to left center in the top of the third.
Right fielder Jacob DeMeyer gave UW-W a five-run lead with a run-scoring double in the fourth, and centerfielder Zach Campbell drove home a pair with a two-out base hit in the fifth.
Matt O’Sullivan improved to 5-0 on the year after tossing eight innings, allowing three hits while striking out 14 hitters, the fifth-most in one game in program history. Kade Lancour sustained the shutout with a scoreless ninth.
Korman finished 3-for-4 with one run scored and four RBIs. Shortstop Nick Santoro registered two hits and two runs scored, and infielder Sam Vomhof reached base twice with two hits and one walk and scored two runs.
In Game 1, the Pioneers (8-10, 4-6) took the lead in the bottom of the first before the Warhawks plated two in the fifth and three in the sixth.
From there, starting pitcher Westin Muir and reliever Ben Muscatello held UW-Platteville at bay. Muir (4-0) allowed four hits and one walk while striking out nine over eight innings of work. Muscatello pitched around a one-out triple in the bottom of the ninth for a shutout inning to close out the contest.
Shortstop Nick Santoro and designated hitter Ben Wilkins each collected two hits, one run scored and one RBI. Catcher Ian Drays also finished with two hits.
Korman and DeMeyer each plated one run in the game.

Whippet CC runners had a great day racing on the new CC course created on the golf course formerly known as Decatur Golf Course in Brodhead. This meet featured four teams: Belleville, Brodhead-Juda, Turner, and Whitewater. Coupled with a great course layout, ideal weather conditions, and stronger fitness, all athletes smashed their personal bests for the spring CC season.
The girls went first and executed perfectly. Sophie Walton placed 8th with a new best time of 23:38. Following close behind were the 2nd through 5 runners of Gwen Truesdale, Trinity Nickels, Olive Coburn, and Lauren Beuhler. There was less than a minute spread between this group, and it was thrilling to see those four Whippet uniforms power their way around the course. The next pack of Whippets to come through were Danielle DePorter, Caelyn Caputo, and Emma Weigel. Their spread of 19 seconds is getting about as close-knit as you can be over 5000 meters. Jenny Villarreal and Evie Troxel closed out the finishers for the Whippets with finishing places of 32nd and 36th overall. The girls’ team placed 3rd with 54 points.
The boys raced next, with Trenten Zahn again leading the Whippets as he crossed the finish line in second with a time of 16:59. CJ Tomomitsu and Cooper Hammond ran tight together and placed 6th and 7th. Will Hofmann threw down the hammer late in the race despite battling some lower leg injuries and pulled up within 15 seconds of Cooper. Nate Holden is learning quickly and rounds out the top five scorers with his 26th place finish. Ben McCulloch was coming up on Nate as he was just 20 seconds behind in 29th. Andrew Rollette dropped significant time to stop the clock at 25:02. Keith Cameron finished in 28:40, and Sterling Truesdale crushed his race in 28:40. The boys’ team was edged out by Turner for the win by just two points. WW finished with 49 points.

Come on out and cheer for the Whippets as they enter the Championship portion of their season. Girls JV will race at 4:00, followed by Girls Varsity 4:45, Boys Varsity 5:30, and Boys JV at 6:15.
From Packerswire:
“The Green Bay Packers have talked with one of the most intriguing interior offensive lineman prospects in the 2021 NFL draft class.
Wisconsin-Whitewater offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz, a likely Day 2 pick, has been in contact with all 32 NFL teams during the pre-draft process, according to Bob McGinn of The Athletic.
The majority of teams like Meinerz as a center prospect in the NFL, per McGinn.
The Packers have an obvious in-state connection, but the team also has a need at center and the interior of the offensive line after losing Corey Linsley in free agency. Meinerz, who opened eyes at the Senior Bowl, could be a starting-caliber player capable of either replacing Linsley or playing guard and allowing a player like Lucas Patrick or Elgton Jenkins to move to center.”

The Whitewater Girls’ Tennis Team has been battling the weather all season. On Thursday, part of the team was able to get a match in at the conference meet until the rain finally set in. The rest of the conference matches will be played on Friday, April 16.
On Monday, except for the wind, the weather cooperated enough for the sub-sectional meet to take place. 1 singles, Emilia Houwers, was the first Whippet to earn herself a place at the sectional meet since she had already earned herself a sub-sectional bye. 4 singles, Crystal Chan, also earned a trip to sectionals by winning her match 6-2, 6-0 against Janesville Craig. The 3 doubles team of Jeanette Falcon and Vanesa Wence were the final Whippets to reach sectionals by winning 6-4, 6-4 against Milton.
The sectional meet will take place at Palmer Park in Janesville beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 14. Good luck, Whippets!
