Beyer boosts Warhawks

WHITEWATER — Janesville Parker High graduate Matt Beyer’s solo homer and sacrifice fly helped UW-Whitewater edge Concordia (Ill.),

7-6, in a nonconference baseball game played at Prucha Field at Jim Miller Stadium here Thursday.

The Warhawks, ranked 10th in the D3baseball.com poll improved to 21-5. Concordia, ranked 25th, is 20-5.

Beyer’s first homer of the season in the fourth put the Warhawks up, 5-4. His sacrifice fly in the sixth tied the game at 6-all, and Dylan Friend followed with an RBI single that scored Jared Fon with what turned out to be the game-winning run.

Justin Lambert (4-1) pitched 4 1/3 innings in relief of Warhawk starter Riley Tincher to earn the win.

Catcher Rob Coe and designated hitter Sam Keller Jr. each drove in two runs.
