Lakeshore got two runs back in the fifth inning, but Green Bay got them back in the seventh inning to make it 5-2.

In the eighth inning, the Rockers had their biggest offensive inning of the day. Jake Bold (Princeton) came back with the bases loaded and doubled to left field to score three more. He would finish the day with six RBI’s. Sam Miller (Columbia) and Payton Mansfield (Jacksonville State) also drove in runs, increasing the lead to eight. The Chinooks would get one back in the final inning, but the game would end in Green Bay’s favor: 10-3.
