Former West Bend West standout Matt Meisenheimer, who transferred to UW-Whitewater from Concordia University-Wisconsin last winter, will try to earn a middle infield spot for the Warhawks this fall.

 

Meisenheimer was a four-year letterwinner and all-conference performer as a middle infielder and pitcher for West Bend West, which advanced to the WIAA summer state baseball tournament three times. West Bend West won the state title in 2007 his junior season, when he pitched 6 2/3 innings of no-hit ball in the state quarterfinals against Franklin.

 

He tied the school record with 52 runs scored and held a .400 batting average over his four varsity seasons. He played every inning of every game during his four-year high school varsity career.

 

Meisenheimer played in the 2007 Milwaukee Brewers Classic at Miller Park and in the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Classic in June 2008.

 

He graduated from West Bend West with a 3.91 grade-point-average. After transferring to UW-Whitewater, he was on the Dean's list last semester. He is majoring in Business and carrying a 4.0 GPA.

 

This summer, Meisenheimer played for the Kewaskum Athletics of the Rock River wood bat league where he helped lead them into the playoffs. He was batting .313 with 39 runs scored, a team-best 22 walks and a .436 on-base percentage through Aug. 28. The Athletics also advanced to the Tri County League playoffs.
