After a fielder's choice, Kyle McHugh (Polonia, WI/Rosholt) plated two runs with a single to center and Jimmy Coady (La Crosse, WI/Aquinas), the next batter, drove in the tying run with a single down the right field line. The Pointers then had a chance to take the lead but a double play ended the rally.
