Duluth, MN - In a high-scoring matchup in Duluth, the Eau Claire Express outlasted the Huskies, winning 15-13.

Pitching proved to be a struggle for the visiting Express, as Tyler Schmitt (UW-La Crosse), Tayler Montiel (Tulane), and Daniel Reischl (UW-La Crosse) combined to open. up the game. The trio combined to give up all of the runs on the night before new closing pitcher Coby Moe (WKU) came in and finished the game.
