DUBUQUE, Iowa – 24 hours after winning its home opener against Wartburg College, the Loras College Duhawk baseball team dropped Thursday's contest, 20-10, to the 14^th-ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks at Petrakis Park. 

Whitewater got on the board early and often, jumping out to a 15-3 lead after the second inning and never looked back. Loras nearly avoided the run-rule loss by plating four in the seventh, but it wasn't enough as the Purple and Gold fell to 12-5 on the season.

Daniel Rogers finished the game 4-of-5 from the plate with two of his three RBIs coming off a home run in his first at bat of the day. With the two-run shot, he moved up second all-time at Loras in career RBIs.

Junior Aidan Herrick was 2-for-3 swinging the bat, tying the team lead in RBIs with Rogers at three. Max McCallum rounded out multi-hit Duhawks after finishing 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Vincent Costantino, Kayden Shivers, and Will Moonan each recorded two strikeouts to lead the team.

COMING UP
The Duhawks will hit the road and won't travel far for a single game against the University of Dubuque on Tuesday, April 2. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. from Dan W. Runkle Baseball Field.
