The South Winn baseball team (9-3, 7-1 UIC) started off a busy week with a home doubleheader sweep over Postville on Monday evening, followed by a clash with MFL MarMac with the right to maintain the top spot in the UIC.
Clean sweep
Big innings proved to be the difference on the night as the Warriors had 12, 9, and 8-run innings in the doubleheader Monday against the Postville Pirates (0-10, 0-8 UIC).
Postville jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in game one but the Warriors responded with nine runs of their own in the bottom of the first to take a commanding lead, adding four in the fourth to end the game on the 10-run mercy rule, 13-2.
South Winn had seven hits in the contest. Cody Meyer knocked out a double and drove in one, while Parker Timp went 2-for-3 with one RBI.
The nightcap went the Warriors’ way from the start as they put up 12 runs in the first frame and eight in the third, finishing in four frames, 20-3.
Thirteen different Warriors hit the ball with Carson Streeter leading the way as he was 3-for-4 in the batter’s box. Eric Greve knocked out a pair of doubles and drove in three runs, while Brody Tieskoetter and Cody Meyer also had multi-hit games.
Six Warrior pitchers combined to throw effectively with Cody Meyer and Parker Timp picking up the wins on the mound.
“Our guys were efficient in what we wanted to accomplish to kick off our week,” said Coach Alex Smith.

Battle for the top
It was an early season matchup between two of the Upper Iowa Conference standings leaders in Monona on Tuesday evening. The game came down to the one run scored by MFL MarMac (14-4, 9-1 UIC) as the Bulldogs defeated the Warriors, 1-0.
In a high anticipated matchup, it turned into a pitcher’s duel between Carson Streeter and Bulldog hurler, Parker Kuehl. In the end, it was the Bulldogs and the lefty, Kuehl, that would come out on top. The only run of the game came in the bottom of the second inning when the Bulldogs scored on a one-out double after a walk.
Carson Streeter settled in tossing five innings and surrendering just one run on two hits allowed. Kuehl went the distance with the Warriors only getting three hits.
“This was a great pitching matchup that unfortunately we came out on the wrong side of. Parker was tough on the mound and we just didn’t adjust well enough to his stuff. We had a few opportunities throughout the game but ultimately we didn’t make them make enough plays to put any sort of pressure on them,” said Coach Smith.
