Madison saw their six game winning streak come to an end at the hands of a walkoff, but four other teams continued their winning streaks to four plus games- including La Crosse, who won their sixth straight. It's been a big comeback for the Loggers, who had lost five straight before this streak. Routs were aplenty as Mankato scored 14 and Willmar scored 11, both team-highs in runs.

He was supported on offense by Kevin Kaczamarski, who went 2-4 with a triple and two RBIs. Logan Sherer, who has been a great player on offense for the Bucks, went three shutout innings with three strikeouts to pick up the save.

Paul DeJong (Illinois St.) hit a grand slam for the Woodchucks on a 2-4 night in which he added a double and five RBIs.  Keach Ballard (Oklahoma) went 2-5 with a home run and three RBIs for the Huskies, but they were shutdown by Max Ising (Creighton) in the ninth to end any chance of a rally. It was Ising's fourth save and he hasn't allowed an earned run over five innings.

Battle Creek 5, Madison 4 (14 innings)

Madison had a six-game winning streak going into Sunday's matchup with Battle Creek and it took 14 innings for the Bombers to stop them, 5-4. Battle Creek walked off to stop a three game skid as they piled up 15 hits and tied it in the bottom of the ninth to push it to extras.
