The top of the 6th came around and Wisconsin Rapids made a push. Utah Valley shortstop, Garett Broussard, singled a ball into right field and Gurevitch doubled a ball into center. The Eastern Michigan product, Logan Hugo, saw a 3-2 pitch and belted a ball into center field which sent Broussard and Gurevitch home.
