Weekend Roundup

Sorry for the hiatus.  I will try not to go that long without posting again. Now on to the news.

• UWM had to contend with the weather even on their trip to Tennessee last weekend.  They dropped two to Illinois State playing in Clarksville, TN.  Their game against Austin Peay was canceled due to weather.  The Panthers are in Fayetteville this weekend taking on the #16 ranked Arkansas Razorbacks.  Two home runs by Doug Dekoning was not enough on Friday as Arkansas won 15-6.  They play again on both Saturday and Sunday.  Also make sure you check out Diamond Chronicles.  Senior Sam Sivilotti and junior Greg Blohowiak, members of the Milwaukee baseball team, are blogging about the season.
   
•  UW Parkside was swept last weekend in their season opening series against Winona State University.  Their games this weekend in Evansville, Indiana against Wayne State and the University of Missouri- St. Louis have been bumped back a day due to weather, and will be played on Sunday and Monday.  
• Cardinal Stritch University finished its opening weekend with a 1-3 record playing against Harris Stowe State University in St.Louis, Mo.  Andy Klein picked up the win striking out 6 and walking 1 in six innings of work.  This weekends games against Indiana University Southwest have been canceled and they will next play March 12 in San Antonio, TX against DeSales University. 
• The Milwaukee School of Engineering has put in a full week of baseball in Florida.  They were 1-6 before yesterday's doubleheader with Hanover.  I can't find results of those games.  
• UW Whitewater took two from Washington University this week.  Daniel Putnam hit .889 with 3 stolen bases while Rob Coe hit .714 with a HR and two steals.  Riley Tincher and Jeff Donovan picked up the wins.  The fifth ranked Warhawks next play on March 17 against St Lawrence.  
• The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are having a Rummage Sale today from 10-3 selling lots of game used jerseys and bats among other things.  Individual tickets also go on sale today.  
• The Beloit Snappers are also selling their game worn jerseys. They have a job fair on March 15 and are looking to fill many positions.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have started out 4-2 so far in spring training.   As they showed last year spring training records dont always match the regular season results.  Check out the Brewerfan.net Power 50 to learn more about Brewer prospects than you thought possible.  
• The Wisconsin Woodchucks of the Northwoods League have signed UWM Panther pitcher and area native Cameron Amsrud to play for them this summer.
