WALLA WALLA — Coach Jared Holowaty and his Whitman College Missionaries are the underdogs — no doubt about it — as they prep for this weekend’s East vs. West baseball battle against coach Bill Holowaty and his Eastern Connecticut State Warriors.
Jared Holowaty, starting his third season at Whitman, is still building a program that has but one senior and just a few juniors on its roster.
Contrast that relative inexperience with Bill Holowaty (Jared’s father), a coaching legend in his 44th season with almost 1,400 victories and four NCAA Division III national titles to his Eastern Connecticut credit.
The elder Holowaty, as the proud proprietor of one of the top DIII baseball programs in the nation, also comes to Walla Walla later this week with a roster anchored by nearly a dozen seniors and juniors.
A mismatch, you say?
Maybe so, but as the good-natured taunts continue bouncing from one side of the continent to the other, the younger Holowaty doesn’t hesitate to play his trump card.
Just remember, he tells his dad, that mom is on my side!
