Trevyn Badger (Minot State) was incredible in relief, throwing two shutout innings and allowing just one walk. Matt Helwig (Lewis) shut the door in the 9th for his second save of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The Express offense was led by Sam Kuchinski&#8217;s (Montevallo) best performance of the season, ending with three hits and an RBI double. Cole Conn (Illinois-Chicago) contributed two hits and an RBI in the winning effort.<\/p>\n<p>The Express will travel to La Crosse tomorrow with hopes to complete the sweep against the second-place Loggers.<\/p>\n<p><i>###<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The Eau Claire Express is a member of the Northwoods League, the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players.
