The No. 12 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team was defeated 5-4 against Division II West Florida on Wednesday night at Blue Wahoos Stadium in Pensacola, Fla.
 
The Warhawks (7-3 overall) totaled nine hits but left 11 men on base in the contest.
 
First baseman Nick Paget (New Berlin, Wis./West) paced the offense with three hits, one walk and one run scored. Second baseman Sam Vomhof (DeForest, Wis./DeForest) posted two hits, one walk, one stolen base and one run scored, while designated hitter Matt Korman (Waterford, Wis./Waterford Union) also reached base three times with three walks.
 
Eli Frank (Suamico, Wis./Bay Port) took the loss for UW-W on the mound, falling to 0-1 on the year. Cam Anfang (Sullivan, Wis./Jefferson) allowed one run over five innings of work and Cade Berendt (Germantown, Wis./Germantown) surrendered one run over three innings of relief. Vomhof came on in the 10th to record the final three outs of the inning.
 
Catcher Ryan Norton (Fond du Lac, Wis./Fond du Lac) started the scoring with a solo homer with one out in the second inning to put UW-W in front by a 1-0 score.
 
After a 1-2-3 top of the fourth by Anfang, the Warhawks tallied three times in the bottom half of the frame. Centerfielder Zach Campbell (Burlington, Wis./Burlington) registered a bases-loaded single through the right side to plate two runs. Four batters later, left fielder Matt Scolan (Downers Grove, Ill./South) made it a four-run lead with a base hit to right field.
 
The Argos (15-9) cut their deficit in half with a solo homer in the fifth and a run-scoring triple in the seventh. Berendt stranded runners in scoring position in both the seventh and eighth innings to keep UWF from tying the game or taking the lead.
 
West Florida tied the game on a home run in the ninth and UW-Whitewater had two runners on with two outs. Norton's long fly ball was caught just in front of the fence for the final out of the inning.
 
The Argos took the lead in the top of the 10th before Vomhof left the bases loaded. Pinch hitter Sam Paden (Libertyville, Ill./Libertyville) singled with two outs in the bottom of the frame, but UW-W was unable to tie the game.
 
The Warhawks finish up their spring break trip Thursday with a game against Grinnell (Iowa) starting at 10 a.m., weather pending.
