Cal Higgins (Western Kentucky) of Eau Claire squared off against Evan Borst of Duluth. Between the two hurlers, the first 6 innings only saw one run scored between the Huskies and Express, when Duluth tacked on one run in the bottom of the 4th on a Sacrifice Fly.<\/p>\n<p>More scoring wouldn&#8217;t happen again until the 7th inning when this time it was Eau Claire&#8217;s turn, as Cole Conn (UIC) hit a Sac Fly of his own, scoring Reed Latimer (Montevallo). Later in that same half-inning, another run would come across the plate on a Bronson Rivera (Hawaii) RBI single. With Duluth adding another of their own in the bottom of the 7th, the game was again knotted up at 2-2.<\/p>\n<p>The teams stayed in lock-step at 2 apiece through regulation, which prompted extra innings of ball. Luckily, Eau Claire only needed one, as they added 3 runs in the top of the 10th inning, putting them up 5-2 for good.<\/p>\n<p>This Win over Duluth marked not only the team&#8217;s 4th win in a row but also their 13th straight regular-season win over Duluth, dating back to the 2022 season.<\/p>\n<p>The Express will be back at home tomorrow vs. the Thunder Bay Border Cats. First pitch will be at 6:35 pm CT, and we will be hosting First Responder Appreciation Night at the Ballpark.
