There were a number of records and streaks broken between the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and the University of Wisconsin-Platteville on Friday, enough so that neither team could claim an advantage after a pair of games at University Field.

The Pointers rallied late to take a 13-11 victory in a slugfest in the first contest, but were unable to come up with any of the same magic in the second, dropping the second half of the twinbill 5-1. With the split, UWSP is 22-14 overall and 14-8 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

First baseman Matt Peetz went 3-for-5 wth two RBIs and three runs scored on the afternoon, and in the process set the school record for career hits, surpassing the old mark of 189 set by Randy Reed.
On the other side, Platteville's desginated hitter Ryan Levendoski went 6-for-10 with an RBI and two runs scored to set the school's record for hits in a season with 60.

UWSP also had a streak of sorts snapped in the first contest when starting pitcher Shane Standifer allowed the first nine Platteville batters to reach base on six hits and three walks, scoring seven runs to break his own consecutive scoreless inning streak at 18.

But with the game tied 9-9 in the sixth inning, UWSP took the lead for good when third baseman Matt Peterson scored on a balk and centerfielder Chuck Brehm added an RBI groundout.

Rightfielder Matt Polomis was 4-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs scored, leftfielder Greg Treml was 3-for-4 with three RBIs, and catcher Joe Waksmonski was 2-for-5 with three RBIs in the game.
Jeremy Mueller earned the win, working five and two-thirds of an inning and striking out four, while Kevin Pankow worked the ninth for the save, getting himself out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs.

Trailing 2-0 in the second game, Peetz hit an RBI double in the bottom of the sixth inning to pull within a run, but Platteville (14-23, 9-13 WIAC) scored two runs on errors by the Pointers in the seventh to seal the game. UWSP also hit into three double plays in the contest.
