Waukesha West's (Wisconsin) Senior Pitcher/Shortstop Bret Huotari verbally accepted an athletic scholarship to play baseball for Mike Zolecki at Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee. Huotari helped lead Coach Chad Montez' s Wolverines to their 3rd and 4th straight trips to the Summer State Tournament in Wisconsin. His goals were first to find a school with a strong business program and also find a baseball program where he could make an immediate impact. He also had a strong preference to stay in the Milwaukee area. With Stritch he believes he's met all three goals. The majority of interest in Huotari for baseball came from the NCAA Division II, NAIA and Juco levels. In addition to baseball, Huotari was also being actively recruited as a wrestler. Cardinal Stritch is a member of the NAIA Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
