Bodie got the Barons on the board in the first with an RBI single, but then Northwestern took charge of this one. They plated four runs in the third to take a 4-1 lead, a lead they maintained all the way till the final inning. John Nemmers led off the seventh with a pinch-hit single. Connor Lolli came in to run, and he scored on a Peffer double. Falconite then made it 4-3 on a sacrifice fly for the first out of the inning. Bodie kept up his strong day with another RBI single to tie it up at 4-4. Stoehr then grounded out to move Bodie to second and lead to the second out of the inning. The Collin Killian came through with a walk-off single that scored Bodie from second to give Franciscan game one.

Franciscan Lineup

How It Happened
The Barons scored runs in each of the first two innings to take early command of game two, as they were flying high after the walk-off winner in game one.

The Eagles then scored five runs over the next four innings to take a 6-2 edge into the sixth inning. In the sixth, the Barons put up a crooked number. Killian drove in Bodie on a ground out, and Nemmers doubled in Stoehr. Ferrroni later drove in Nemmers, and the Barons had pulled within one at 6-5.
