The No. 13 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater softball team remained unbeaten in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Saturday afternoon with a doubleheader sweep at 17th-ranked UW-Oshkosh.
 
The Warhawks (27-7 overall, 10-0 WIAC) won the opener 9-4 and posted a 6-1 victory in the nightcap.
 
With one victory at UW-Stout next Saturday, UW-Whitewater can clinch at least a share of the WIAC regular season championship.
 
In the second game against the Titans (22-8, 4-4), the Warhawks tallied two runs in the top of the first and didn't look back. Senior right fielder Haley Morelli (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein) plated one run with an RBI single to center, and sophomore centerfielder Caitlin Catino (Arlington Heights, Ill./Buffalo Grove) scored from third on a passed ball.
 
After UW-Oshkosh halved its deficit in the bottom of the third with an unearned run, UW-Whitewater got the run back in the fourth on a two-out, solo homer to left by freshman catcher Nicole Neitzel (Verona, Wis./Verona Area).
 
The Warhawks plated three more in the fifth to take a five-run lead as Morelli brought home Catino with a double to left center, senior Jessica Kaemerer (New Lenox, Ill./Lincoln Way West) scored on a groundout by freshman third baseman Meg Cohrs (Elburn, Ill./Kaneland) and freshman designated player Dani Biesiada (Lisle, Ill./Naperville North) posted a two-out, run-scoring base hit to center.
 
Morelli, Biesiada and sophomore shortstop Kelly Berglund (Menomonee Falls, Wis./Menomonee Falls) collected two hits apiece to lead the offense.
 
Sophomore pitcher Julia Camardo (Arlington Heights, Ill./Buffalo Grove) improved to 7-2 for the season with the win, scattering eight hits over seven innings while striking out seven.
 
In Game 1, Cohrs mashed a three-run homer in the top of the third inning to tie the game at 3-3 and, after the Titans grabbed a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth, UW-Whitewater took the lead for good with a six-run sixth inning. The rally was highlighted by a two-run double by junior left fielder Mallory Klotz (New Berlin, Wis./West), who finished 3-for-4 with one run, one walk and two RBI.
 
Catino, Cohrs, Neitzel and junior second baseman Michayla Swanson (Randolph, Wis./Randolph) tallied two hits apiece for the offense, which churned out 13 hits.
 
Freshman pitcher Bella Matthias (Greenfield, Wis./Greenfield) improved to 12-3 with the win. She struck out seven and didn't allow an earned run in seven innings of work.
 
UW-Whitewater continues its 10-game road swing Tuesday at Carthage. First pitch of the doubleheader is slated for 3 p.m. in Kenosha, Wis.
