Panthers march past Iowa

Wichser, Hart combine for 6 hits, RBI

By Matt Capristo

Starting off an important week, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee baseball team began with a hit parade as they knocked off Iowa last Tuesday, 13-5 in Iowa City.

The Hawkeyes (14-22) have stumbled as of late after being picked to contend for a Big Ten title. However, they are still a dangerous team that is capable of doing damage as they indicated early in the season by knocking off the then No. 7 team in the country in Vanderbilt.

Serving notice

By Jimmy Lemke

There are a lot of negative numbers surrounding the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee tennis team.

Twenty-five straight losses to UW-Green Bay from 1990 through 2005. Six straight years without a Horizon League Tournament Victory. Loss after agonizing loss to UIC. The bad news piled up for most of Milwaukee's stay in D-I.

Raiders pound Panthers

By Tim Prahl

Coming off Friday’s 8-2 victory over the second place team in the conference, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee baseball team must have been beaming with confidence. Wright St. took that feeling away Saturday as they took the final two games of the series in convincing style.

In the first game, the Panthers ran into WSU ace Jon Durket. The junior from California quieted the Panther bats that just one day earlier had been extremely loud.

Brewers searching for hits

By Mike Kennedy

Brewers manager Ned Yost isn’t worried, and Brewers fans shouldn’t be either. Milwaukee is above .500 and they are about to get outfielder Mike Cameron in the lineup. That’s the good part.

The bad part? The Brewers are a 12th in the National League in batting average and have only two everyday players hitting over. 300, and again, Yost isn’t worried.

Crew off to a solid start

By John Raschig

The Milwaukee Brewers season is under way, and through 20 games they sport a respectable, although unspectacular, record of 13-9(Change as of Sunday night). They stand third in the National League Central behind both the overachieving Saint Louis Cardinals and the Alfonso Soriano-less Chicago Cubs. So while the season still remains far from over, enough games have been played to illustrate some noteworthy facts about the Brewers.

Through the first few weeks of the season the team is 11th in the National League in team average, hitting opposing hurlers at a paltry .245 average. No starter other than Jason Kendall remains above the .300 mark and the next closest is Corey Hart at .274; Bill Hall and Rickie Weeks both remain below the Mendoza line.
