GAME ONE RECAP
• Facing a tough situation with the bases loaded in the top of the second, Augsburg pitcher Myer Schmitz (SO, Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park HS) pitched himself out of the jam with a double play to end the scoring threat and keep the game scoreless. The Pipers managed to break the scoreless tie an inning later with an RBI single to center field to take a 1-0 lead.
