How It Happened
Franciscan baseball jumped out to an early lead, as they put up a crooked number in the first inning. Froman reached on an error, and Falconite singled. After moving up 90 feet on a wild pitch,
Brendan Burke got the job done with a ground out to third to score Froman. Falconite would then score on a passed ball, and
Wade Stoehr scored the same way later in the inning to give Franciscan a 3-0 lead.
Earlham responded in the second inning with five runs coming with two outs. A three-run home run by Jeffries was the big swing in this inning. The Barons would get one back in the third inning, as

Brendan Burke. Earlham would respond once again with another two-out three-run homer in the fourth to grow their lead to 8-4. They would grow it once again in the fith to 12-4.
The Barons entered the bottom of the seventh trailig 17-5, but they would not show any quit. They got a rally going off the bat with the first three batters loading up the bases.
