HOW IT HAPPENED
-In the first game, CUW got runs in back-to-back innings to take a 2-0 lead. In the first, Austen Dart (Algoma, Wis.) drove in a run to put the Falcons on the board. Then in the second, Christian Gerner (Mequon, Wis.) drove in one with an RBI double.
-In the eighth things got dicey as the Eagles loaded the bases with no outs. The Falcons managed to minimize the damage to a sac fly, as they got the Eagles to then pop out and strike out to get out of the inning with the lead intact.
-Bradlee Sumner (Ocala, Fla.) earned the win, allowing just one run in seven innings pitched while striking out five.
-Beau Wills (Coal City, Ill.) got his third save of the season, striking out three in two innings of work.
-In the second game, the Eagles scored in each of the first five innings to put 14 on the board.
-The Falcons scored four in the second to put a dent in the deficit. Sean Tillmon (Plainfield, Ill.) drove in a run with a single to start the mini-rally. Later, Tillmon scored on a balk, after which Gerner and Johannes Haakenson (Janesville, Wis.) hit back-to-back doubles to drive in runs for CUW.
-In the fifth, Tillmon drove in another with an RBI single.
-The Eagles scored once more in the ninth, though the Falcons matched the run in the same inning before the end as Joseph Zywiciel (Bolingbrook, Ill.) drove in a run.
