The Warhawks, 44-7, participated in the series May 23-27 near Appleton, Wis.
The baseball team joins five other national championship teams hailing from UW-Whitewater this academic year. The football, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball and gymnastic teams also won the top prize at the end of their seasons.
For the first time in the history of collegiate athletics, UW-Whitewater completed a three-sport sweep by winning football, basketball and baseball national championships in the same academic year.
