MEQUON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Lutheran College
baseball team was swept in its conference-opening doubleheader by
rival Concordia Wisconsin 5-2 and 14-8 Wednesday at Kapco Park.
In game one, the Warriors jumped out to a 2-1 lead after the
first inning, but couldn't gain any more momentum after that.
Concordia tied the score at 2-2 in the fifth, and then proceeded to
score two in the eighth and another in the ninth to seal the game
away.
Sophomore Aaron Roeseler (Watertown, Wis./Luther Preparatory)
had a fantastic day at the plate for the Warriors. He recorded
three hits in four at-bats, one of which was a triple in the eighth
inning. WLC finished with six hits for the game.
Sophomore Jaime Pauman (Glencoe, Minn./Silver-Lake) took the

Joey Hodkiewicz (Burlington, Wis./Burlington) each pitched an
inning of relief.

strikeouts and allowing six hits. Three Falcons players recorded
two hits each in the contest.
Game two started off similar to game one for the Warriors as
they jumped out to a 2-1 lead after one inning. Sophomore Brett
Youngbeck (Brown Deer, Wis./ Brown Deer) tripled in his first
at-bat. Senior Tyler Schoen (Marion, Wis./Marion) then walked and
stole second which led Youngbeck to steal home. Sophomore Sam
Mattheis (Rosendale, Wis./Laconia) followed with an RBI single that
plated Schoen.
The Falcons plated four runs on four hits in the second inning,
and added another in the third for a 6-2 lead. Following four
scoreless innings, CUW broke open a 6-3 lead by scoring eight times
in the eighth. WLC responded with five runs of its own off of four
