The Lions added three more runs in the 7th inning when Badger reliever Andrew Pierson surrendered two hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly along with an infield error before ending the frame with two ground ball outs.

Sanderson went six innings and gave up just two hits with seven strike outs and no walks in the win while Bahlinger lasted 5.2 innings with six hits, three walks and three strike outs.

The Badgers also made things interesting by bring the tying run to the plate with two outs in the 9th inning after scoring three runs off two hits aided by two UNA errors. With runners at the corners, Floros connected on a fly ball that just lacked the distance before being tracked by centerfielder Brandon Pugh to end the game.
