Senior righthander #Adam Dominick# held the Pioneers scoreless through eight innings in game one, giving up eight hits (all singles), walking none and striking out ten.  Dominick is 4-1.  Gregg Reik struck out two without allowing a hit in relief in the ninth.

Dominick and the Warhawks got all the runs they needed in a three run first, two coming in on a double by senior leftfielder Ben Prather (Chicago, IL/James B. Conant).  Junior third baseman Kevin Zalnis (Woodstock, IL/Woodstock) led off the fifth with a home run to make it 4-0, and junior centerfielder Bret Adamson brought in the final tally with a RBI double in the eighth. 

Whitewater led the entire way in game two, but it was a more typical WIAC game.  UW-W scored twice in the second with just one hit (plus one hit batsman and two walks).  Platteville cut it to 2-1 with a run in the bottom of the third, but Whitewater scored four times in the fourth on five hits, then added four more in the sixth to take a 10-1 lead. 

Platteville staved off the run rule with three in the bottom of the sixth, and Whitewater closed the scoring with a run in the eighth.

Sophomore lefty Aaron Dott (Green Lake/Green Lake) kept his record perfect, 4-0, with five innings of work.  He received relief help from Kale Olson (Rochester, MN/Century), Reik and Jason Hooper (Lake Mills/Lake Mills).  The three relievers did not give up any hits, and combined with Dott to allow just four hits  by UW-P.

Prather led the Warhwk offense with a 3x4 game at the plate.

UW-Platteville is 11-11 overall and 5-5 in the WIAC.
