Mason Dobie (Dayton) was the lead catalyst, going a perfect 4-4 with the go-ahead RBI single in the top of the 10th inning.
Seven pitchers appeared for Waterloo. Anthony Pron (Stevens Institute of Technology) was able to redeem himself after a blown save the previous night. He recorded a scoreless bottom of the 10th, earning his 1st save of the summer.
For the Loggers offensively, Jordan Donahue (Hawaii) and Dylan King (North Carolina) each went 2-3 with RBIs. Sam Hojnar (Iowa) turned in an impressive starting debut, going 2-5 with a 2-run dinger in the bottom of the 3rd inning.
