Green Bay, Wis. - The Green Bay Bullfrogs and the La Crosse Loggers squared off for the final game of their two-game series at Joannes Stadium on Friday night.

In the seventh inning, Paul Jacobson (South Dakota State) led the inning off with a walk before advancing to third on a perfectly executed hit-and-run by Daniel Jackson (Long Beach State). Jacobson then scored, and gave the Bullfrogs a 9-8 lead, when pinch-hitter Matt Beaty (Belmont) hit into a fielder's choice. Franco Guardascione (Palm Beach State College), who pinch-ran for Beaty, scored the final run of the inning when he advanced home on a passed ball that put Green Bay up 10-8.
