"It was a rough day," said Central Washington Head Coach Desi Storey. "Our offense is staying pretty consistent, but we need to eliminate the bad innings on the mound. Credit to the guys as they kept working hard, and we just have to take care of what we can control."
 
Hauck, a 5-10 shortstop who joined the Wildcats from Hofstra University, went 5-8 today with two home runs. Hauck also tallied three runs and two runs batted in.
 
Center fielder Adam Fahsel continued to see the ball excellent at the plate. Fahsel, a 6-0 outfielder from Bonney Lake High School, went 4-8 today with one home run, three runs batted in, two runs, and a walk.
