UWSP starter JD Schultz (Stevens Point, Wis./SPASH) picked up his first win of the season with six solid frames. He struck out six with just three hits allowed.
 
Schultz struck out the side in the first inning, but the Mules were able to get on the board with two hits in the frame.
 
The Pointers got the run back in the bottom of the first. Trent Van Ess (Two Rivers, Wis./Two Rivers) drew a leadoff walk. He stole second and advanced to third on a balk. Tomczak drove him in with a sacrifice fly to right to tie the game at 1-1.
