Warhawks Top Edgewood in Extras

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team topped Edgewood College 11-10 in 11 innings after Matt Korman (Waterford, Wis./Waterford Union) walked off the game with a single up the middle that plated Donovan Brandl (Rudolph, Wis./Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln)

The three-hour, thirty-minute contest featured nearly 45 players including 17 pitchers, 12 for the Warhawks. Jacob DeMeyer (Rhinelander, Wis./Rhinelander) opened the scoring with a no-doubter in the bottom of the first. His two-run blast also scored Sam Paden (Libertyville, Ill./Libertyville). UWW continued to add to their leading eventually opening up a 6-0 gap by the end of the fifth. 

The Eagles worked their way back into the game making a huge push in the eighth and ninth. Edgewood scored a pair on two hits with the help of one Warhawk miscue in the eighth to narrow the deficit to 7-4. The Eagles claimed their first lead of the game with six runs on four hits as the UWW defense erred three times in the ninth to make it 10-8. 

Darryl Jackson (Milwaukee, Wis./Rufus King) led off the bottom of the inning with a single and advanced to second on a one-out walk from DeMeyer. Down to their last out, Adam Cootway (DePere, Wis./Fox Valley Lutheran) capitalized tagging a ball that went off the fence in right center as he motored around to third to push extra innings. 

Neither team advanced a runner passed second until the bottom of the 11th, once again on a two-out rally. Brandl reached on a fielding error by the first baseman and Cootway took a pitch off his arm to put two on. Korman tagged a hard shot that hit the mound and went through the middle passed two diving Eagles as Brandl came around to score for the 11-10 final. 

Korman had the hot bat throughout the game going 4-6 at the plate with the game-winning RBI and two runs scored. Eli Frank (Bayport, Wis./Bay Port) came in for the final inning of relief and issued a pair of strikeouts without allowing a hit to improve to 2-0 on the season.
