You can almost hear Ernie Banks ... let's play three.  UW-Whitewater defeated UW-Superior 13-0 Sunday afternoon, but the rain that forced the postponement of games Saturday will push the two teams to try to finish the series with three games at the Metrodome in Minneapolis Monday beginning at 1:00.

Whitewater's Adam Dominick (Waukesha/Waukesha West), a senior righthander, and junior righty Steve Hedgepath (Sauk Prairie/Sauk Prairie) combined for a no-hitter.  Dominick, 6-1, went five innings, striking out nine and walking two.  Hedgepath went the final two innings in game shortened by the run differential rule, with two walks and three K's to his line of work.  The last time that UW-Whitewater had a combined no-hitter it was Brady Endl, Adam Haried, and Joe Shere versus Marian College April 6, 2001.  The last solo no-hitter was by Todd Genke versus Carroll College April 7, 1993.

UW-W settled the issue early, scoring six times in the top of the first.  The Warhawks had seven hits in the inning, the biggest a two run double by junior centerfielder Jordan Stine (Merrill/Merrill).  Whitewater added three more in the second, two of them coming in on a double by junior rightfielder Joe Munn (Pleasanton, CA/Pleasanton).  With Dominick still mowing down Yellowjackets, UW-W set the game up for an early ending with four runs in the fourth.  Stine singled in a run, Munn hit a two-run homer, and junior catcher Billy Johnson (Kenosha/Kenosha Tremper) added a solo shot. 

With their ninth consecutive win UW-W improved to 20-4 overall and 9-2 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.  The Warhawks are ranked eleventh in the D3baseball.com poll and twentieth by the American Baseball Coaches Association.  UW-Superior is 12-13 overall and 3-10 in the WIAC.
