MADISON, WISC. - Following Tuesday's meeting that featured a combined 22 runs and 28 hits, Madison College and Bryant & Stratton College ratcheted up the crazy in Wednesday's finale of a home-and-home Region 4 baseball series between in-state rivals in the third attempt at a home opener at Robin Roberts Field. The WolfPack coughed up a 7-2 lead before scoring nine unanswered runs for a 17-10 come-from-behind victory that saw the Bobcats walk 16 batters and hit four more, while the Pack had to overcome a season-worst six errors. The back-to-back wins over BSC pushes the Madison lead in the head-to-head series to 11-3.

After working out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the first, the WolfPack posted three runs in the bottom half thanks to two hits and four walks. Sophomore outfielder Charlie Marion drove a double to left to score Nick Nowak and Charlie Schau for a 2-0 lead. A bases loaded walk to first year infielder Kobe Vosberg forced in another.

Bryant & Stratton College (10-13) responded with a two-run top of the second against starter Noah Musolf. Three more walks, three hits, and an error in the home half produced four runs and a 7-2 differential through two innings. Marion again came through with a two-run single to right, scoring Nowak and Schau. Vosberg, up again with the bases loaded, looped a single to shallow left to drive in Marion, and a walk to freshman Howie Rickett forced home Will Johannes.

Musolf ran into trouble in the third, giving up back-to-back home runs to pull the Bobcats within two runs. A walk, an error, and two singles later the game was tied at 7-7. Madison answered in the third with a run as Johannes grounded out to third and Schau hustled in from third to score. The bats, however, remained hot for BSC and a pair of doubles in the fourth helped lead to two runs for a 10-8 advantage.

Despite loading the bases in the fourth, Madison remained down by two into the fifth when three consecutive walks again filled the base paths for Vosberg, who lifted a sacrifice fly to center good enough to score Johannes. Nick Nowak later dropped a bunt single down the third base line as Peyton Frehner raced home to tie the game, and Schau followed with a hard ground ball to the right side that got through for a run-scoring single as Ross touched home.

Back in front 11-10, the Pack continued to build on their lead with six runs in the bottom of the sixth. Johannes got it going with a leadoff homer to the opposite field. The solo shot is his fifth of the season and 15th of his career. Vosberg used a sacrifice bunt to bring Frehner in to score after Frehner roped a triple to center two pitches after the home run. Three more walks and two additional hits later, Madison College owned a 17-10 lead with Schau and Marion each driving in a run, and Johannes completing a monster inning with a two-run double to left.

The WolfPack finished with 13 hits and made their way through nine Bryant & Stratton pitchers. Nowak and Schau, hitting first and second in the WolfPack lineup, respectively, each went 3 for 4, while Marion and Johannes followed in the three and four spots with two hits each. Marion drove in a team-leading five runs and scored two more. Johannes was right behind with his second four-RBI game of the season, to go along with three runs scored. Vosberg had three runs driven in.

Schau led the run parade with four touches of home, followed by Nowak and Johannes at three each. Schau, a native of Park Ridge, Illinois, also drove in a pair of runs.

Musolf, a righthander from Franklin, Wisconsin, lasted just 2.1 innings and surrendered five earned runs on eight hits and two walks. He struck out three before fellow Franklin native Evan Iwinski (1-0) entered in relief to earn his first career win in his sixth all-time appearance. He worked 2.2 innings as the pitcher of record with three runs allowed on three hits and a walk. Freshman Camden Broske qualified for the save - the first of his career - with four scoreless innings and two strikeouts.
