Steve Guden hit three home runs and Panther pitchers allowed just five runs as UWM swept a doubleheader from Eastern Illinois Tuesday afternoon at Henry Aaron Field, winning 14-4 and 5-1.

Guden, who was named the MCC Player of the Week Monday, hit two home runs in game one, and cracked another home run in his first at bat in game two. Guden now has 16 hits in his last 25 at bats.

In game one, UWM scored 11 times in its final three at bats to break a 3-3 tie. The Panthers scored six times in the fourth on a two-run home run from Dave Pudlosky, a homer from Guden, a two-run single from Darin Haugom, and an RBI single by Mike Oiler. Rob Erickson (3-2) tossed the first complete game of his career, allowing just two earned runs on eight hits.

In game two, starter Quintin Oldenburg earned his school-record ninth win of the season, allowing just one run. Matt Freisleben and Jason Crawford combined for three innings of scoreless relief as Eastern Illinois (31-17) could muster just five hits. Dave Pudlosky drove in two runs in a three-run first and another in a two-run third inning.

Matt Houk, Scott Gillitzer, and Eric Goerdt had three hits apiece in game one, while Pudlosky was 2-for-3 with 3 RBI in game two. Gillitzer did go hitless in game two, snapping his school-record hitting streak at 22 games.

UWM (31-15), in first place in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, is now two wins away from tying a school record for victories, and has won at least 30 games for the fourth consecutive season.

The Panthers play a doubleheader at Chicago State tomorrow afternoon, then wrap up the regular season with a four-game home series against Butler Friday night.
