Whitnall, Muskego Baseball Teams to Meet Again in Postseason

The Whitnall Falcons and Muskego Warriors have made a habit of playing each other in the WIAA baseball postseason.

The teams have met four times in the postseason since 2004, with the Warriors victorious three times, including a wild win in the sectional final back in 2009.

That sectional appearance was one of just two for the Falcons in the last decade, and to add to that tally, they’ll need to beat the Warriors, whom they face in a regional final at 5 p.m. Friday, at Muskego High School.

Sectional semifinal games will be at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday at Whitnall High School; the sectional final is at 5 p.m. Monday, also at Whitnall.

Here are some more tidbits about Friday’s regional finals:

• Of the 32 teams remaining, eight are from the Woodland Conference, the most representatives from any league. Just two, however, are from the Woodland East (Whitnall and South Milwaukee).
• The North Shore Conference has seven teams remaining and the Greater Metro and Easter Wisconsin with six each, followed by the Classic 8’s three and the Central Lakeshore’s two.
• Friday’s regional games will feature 10 teams that won or shared a conference title: Pius, New Berlin West, Wauwatosa West, Whitnall, Germantown, Cedarburg, Cedar Grove-Belgium, Plymouth, Oak Creek and Kettle Moraine.
• The highest seeded team to lose in the four sectionals so far was third-seeded Homestead to 14th-seeded Port Washington.
• Other area upsets included 10th-seeded Nicolet beating seventh-seeded Whitefish Bay, 11th-seeded Mukwonago beating sixth-seeded Waukesha West; and 10th-seeded Pewaukee over seventh-seeded Marquette.
