On April 8, 2015 the WIAC Softball season was in full swing, as opposed to the current 2020 predicament. Warhawkrecap throws coverage back five seasons, taking a look at the last time Whitewater hit four homeruns in one game.
The game, against UW-Steven’s Point, came in the middle of a blistering eight game winning streak to open the conference season, and no one was hotter than Devon Ducharme.
The power-hitting Right Fielder blasted two of the Warhawk’s home runs in the 7-2 victory over Steven’s Point on this day five seasons ago. She’d hit another homer in the second game of the double header, a 7-0 win that sealed the series sweep over Point.
The other two players to homer in the four-slam performance were Shortstop Jo Jablonski, an all-time Warhawk power hitter, and pitcher Kelynn Sporer.
Ducharme, an outfielder from Hudson, was a four year veteran of the team, who burst out her senior year, hitting 10 home runs and slugging .672.
She earned a laundry list of awards for her performance, including All-American Scholar Athlete, Great Lakes Region All-Region, first team All-Conference.
The two – shot performance kicked off a run of 5 homers in 5 games for Ducharme, which earned herLouisville Slugger “Hitter of the Week” (April 15) and put the ‘Hawks on track for their second WIAC championship season in 2015.

I like that you hit us with a throwback classic for UW-Whitewater sports. It’s nice to hear that we have always been dominant when it comes to softball and impressive as well.

Comment by Ryan 04.13.20 @ 1:50 amWe needed a throwback, and this is a great game to highlight because this game placed the Warhawks in a championship years ago!
