\n\tBox Score<\/a> | Virtual Guide<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEau Claire, WI- <\/strong>Dropping their first game since July 20th<\/sup>, the Express (15-8 Second Half, 30-29 Overall) had their nine-game winning streak snapped by the Willmar Stingers (15-8 Second Half, 33-26 Overall) by a score of 7-1 on Saturday night at Carson Park.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tExpress starter Gerry Salisbury (Ohio) <\/strong>(4-2) lasted just four and a third innings in this one, picking up second loss of the season after being charged with six earned runs. The left-handed Salisbury was roughed up for seven hits, including two doubles and triple while walking two and striking out one.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPitching in relief while Eau Claire trailed by a substantial amount, Travis Berg (UM Duluth) <\/strong>made his triumphant return to Carson Park by tossing three scoreless innings in the sixth, seventh and eighth frames. Berg, an Eau Claire native, was with the Express at the start of this season on a temporary contract, but was just re-added to the active roster earlier this week.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Express offense was mostly dormant in this one, putting together just three hits on the night. After pushing across the tying run on four walks and an RBI groundout by first baseman Kyle Marinconz (Cal Poly)<\/strong> in the first inning to make it 1-1, Eau Claire’s bats would reach base a combined six times from the second frame on.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the loss, the Express fall into a three-way tie atop the second half standings in the North Division with the Stingers and the Mankato MoonDogs.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEau Claire and Willmar will be back at Carson Park Sunday afternoon for their final matchup of the 2017 regular season. Tomorrow’s game is slated to begin a 5:05 PM with the probable pitchers for both teams remaining unannounced.\n<\/p>\n
