Senior lefthander Riley Tincher (Oregon/Oregon) was named American Baseball Coaches Association Division III Second Team All-America, heading a group of seven Warhawks to earn ABCA postseason honors.

Tincher's selection marks the eighth time a UW-W pitcher has been named to an all-American team.  Kris Hanson was the first in 1993, followed by Kyle Karvala in 1994, Brady Endl (utility) 2002, Kevin Tomasiewicz in 2003, Endl again in 2004, and Tomasiewicz and Greg Reinhard (2005).

Tincher also led the ABCA Division III All-Midwest Region team, earning the distinction as the region's Pitcher of the Year.  He was joined on the all-region first team by outfielder Jordan Stine (Merrill/Merrill ), catcher Rob Coe (Appleton/North), and Jeff Donovan (Wauwatosa/East), who was named at a utility spot after playing first base and pitching for the Warhawks.  UW-W second baseman Ben Kuhlman and righty Jason Hooper (Lake Mills/Lake Mills) were second team, and shortstop Mike Kenseth (Milwaukee/West Allis Hale) was named to the third team.

Kuhlmann (sr, Minneapolis, MN/Southwest) and Kenseth (senior, Milwaukee/West Allis Hale) combined to form one of the most potent up-the-middle combinations in Division III.   Kuhlmann batted .333 with 7 home runs and 56 runs batted in, along with 8 stolen bases.  Kenseth batted .343 with a pair of homers, 35 runs driven in, and 13 steals.  Kuhlmann tied Donovan with 17 multi-RBI games and had 19 multi-hit games.  Kenseth was close behind with 18 multi-hit contests.

Hooper (senior, Lake Mills) joined Tincher to form Whitewater's 1-2 on the mound.  He went 7-3 with a 3.91 ERA, striking out 69 and walking 32. 

Coe, Donovan, Hooper, Stine and Tincher were also First Team All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference picks.
