Anderson starter Jake Eaton held the Pointers scoreless until Jimmy Coady (La Crosse, WI/Aquinas) hit a solo home run to right to lead off the fourth inning. Eaton threw a complete game, giving up two runs on seven hits, while striking out six.

UW-Stevens Point added a run in the fifth when Kyle McHugh (Polonia, WI/Rosholt) singled home Riley Spetz (Sturgeon Bay, WI/Sevastopol). Mark Kowalke (Baraboo, WI/Baraboo) threw all seven innings for the Pointers but took the loss, giving up just one earned run.

After giving up an unearned run in the first inning, Erickson settled down and shut out the Ravens over the next four innings to win on his debut. The freshman gave up just four hits and two walks in five innings and fanned three.

UW-Stevens Point's offense backed Erickson's strong outing with 14 hits, led by Bobby Gregorich (Plover, WI/SPASH), who went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. Gregorich's solo shot to right put UWSP up 3-1 in the fifth and was his first home run of the season. The senior is slugging .929 through the first four games of the season.

The Pointers tied the game at 1-1 on a run-scoring single by Pete Strommen in the second inning and took the lead on a single by Ray Greco (Downers Grove, IL/North) to score Strommen in the fourth. After Gregorich's home run, Greco knocked in another run with a single as part of a four-run sixth.
