HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Auggies started the scoring in the top of the fourth when Jack Baumgart (JR, Willmar, Minn./Willmar HS) plated both Michael Weiss (JR, Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar HS) and Clint Mattson (JR, North Branch, Minn./North Branch HS) and Baumgart and Steven Salz (SO, Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove HS) scored on a Wesleyan error.
• After Wesleyan responded with three runs of their own, Weiss batted in Connor Stoik (JR, Eau Claire, Wis./Eau Claire Memorial HS) on a sacrifice fly to make it 5-3 Auggies.
• The Wesleyan offense found a groove in the fifth inning, scoring five runs to take their first lead of the game. The Auggies tied it up at 8-8 in the eighth inning, with Ty Gage (SO, Eagan, Minn./Eagan HS) and Carson Tomony (JR, Madison, Wis./Madison East HS) scoring on a Kaden Gage (SR, Eagan, Minn./Eagan HS) single and JT Williams (SO, Colorado Springs, Colo./Redford HS) scoring on a bases-loaded walk of Weiss.
