GAME HIGHLIGHTS

• Trailing 2-0 entering the bottom of the third inning, Augsburg sent 11 batters to the plate, banging out seven hits to score six runs. RBI singles by Andrew Julkowski (JR, Cedar, Minn./St. Francis HS) and Tyler "Jonesy" Buescher (SO, Prior Lake, Minn.), along with a two-run double by Abe Welckle (SR, Minneapolis, Minn./South HS) and two more runs scoring on an error, accounted for the Auggies' scoring.
• The Auggies added another run in the fifth, as Buescher doubled to plate Schmahl.
• Back-to-back doubles by Gordon Kappers (SR, Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville North HS) and Billy Brookshaw (JR, Prescott, Wis.) started the Auggie outburst in the sixth inning, as 11 batters came to the plate. Schmahl hit a two-run single later in the inning, and the Auggies also scored three unearned runs on two errors and a passed ball.
• Kappers went 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored. Buescher and Bryce Pruszinske (JR, Savage, Minn./Burnsville HS) had two hits each for the Auggies.
• Luke Chinn (JR, Burnsville, Minn.) picked up the pitching win for the Auggies, striking out two and walking one in six innings of work. Lincoln Hochmuth (SO, Cannon Falls, Minn./St. Croix Lutheran HS) pitched an inning of scoreless relief, claiming a strikeout.
