• Back-to-back doubles by Dylan Foote (SO, Oakdale, Minn./North St. Paul HS) and Jordan DeCroock (SR, Farmington, Minn./Farmington HS) sparked the fourth-inning outburst, with Foote driving in a run and DeCroock driving in two runs. DeCroock later scored on a wild pitch, and Bakko hit a sacrifice fly to plate Bodine.
