Game #2: #1 Madison College 3, Black Hawk College 2

The day's final game played out much differently with five combined runs, and both teams each failing to score when loading the bases with no outs. Black Hawk College (20-12) took out their anger from the previous loss in the first at bat with a lead off home run on the second pitch thrown by starter Isaiah Cerfus. Three straight walks in the bottom of the second provided the WolfPack its first scoring opportunity, however, a 1-2-3 double play and a strikeout ended the threat. The Braves made it 2-0 in the next half inning with back-to-back hits.

The WolfPack tied the score in the bottom of the third when Brady Jurgella and Jake Nelson produced back-to-back singles that scored Eli Kramer and Zach Storbakken, respectively. Still even at 2-2 in the sixth, BHC packed the sacks with nobody out, only to have the home team record a strikeout and an inning-ending double play to get out of the jam. Madison College would again load the bases in the home half with one out, only to be turned away with a fielder's choice to home and a line out to center.

Looking to avoid extra innings, Storbakken drew a lead-off walk and was joined on the bases by Jurgella on a bunt single. Jake Nelson followed with a bloop single to shallow right that pushed Storbakken to third base, however, Jurgella was thrown out at second. That left second year catcher Eduardo Saucedo an opportunity to be the hero, and the Oregon, Wisconsin, native came through with a ground ball single that got past the first baseman and down the right field line to score Storbakken. It was his lone hit of the game.

Jurgella and Nelson keyed the offensive effort with identical 2 for 3 performances that yielded a RBI, with the former also stealing two bases Six other players each had one hit in the game. Storbakken drew a pair of walks and scored a team-high two runs.

Madison College used a trio of arms to help earn their 23rd consecutive home victory dating back to last season. Cerfus went four innings and limited the Braves to two runs on five hits, while striking out three. Fellow right-hander Riley LeTourneau worked the next two innings and also struck out three batters. He held the opposition scoreless on a hit and a walk. Alex Hayes, a left-hander from Muskego, Wisconsin, came in to work the top of the seventh, and surrendered just one hit before recording a K to end the inning. His one-inning of work netted him the win and improved his record to 4-0.
