The Eau Claire faithful excitedly cheered on the home team as extra innings neared, but the Express could not pull out the win.<\/p>\n<p>The bats from both teams were quiet tonight. Express starter Andrew Dean (Illinois-Springfield) had a solid outing. He went seven innings, giving up four hits, walking two, and striking out four. An unearned run would cross home plate while Dean was on the mound.\u00a0 Andrew Lee (Century CC) entered in relief in the 8<sup>th<\/sup> inning. Lee would go seven innings and give up two hits.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer Myers (Notre Dame) scored the only Express run in the bottom of the third after reaching on a fielder&#8217;s choice followed by a wild pitch, stolen base, and a second wild pitch. Phillip Sikes (New Mexico) was the only Express with multiple hits. The right fielder went two for five at the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Eau Claire had an opportunity to win the game in the bottom of the 9<sup>th<\/sup>. Zach Gilles (Central Michigan) advanced to first on a single. Showing speed, he would steal second and advance to third on an error by the Larks\u2019 shortstop. However, a play at the plate did not go the Express\u2019 way. Gilles would be put out on a tag by the catcher from Bismarck.<\/p>\n<p>The Larks took the lead in the top of the 11<sup>th<\/sup>. Tanner Halvorson (Indian Hills CC) was on the mound for the Express. Brandon Barna led off the inning with a single. Matthew Warkentin would follow with a single that advanced Barna to third. A sacrifice fly by Jacob Nesbit would give the Larks a 2-1 lead. The next batter, Dylan Rock would hit his own sacrifice fly to score Warkentin and bring the Bismarck lead to 3-1. Eau Claire went quickly and quietly in the bottom of the 11<sup>th<\/sup> to end the game.<\/p>\n<p>The Express are back in action tomorrow evening against the Larks with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 pm. Bucket Ruckus will be at Carson Park, sponsored by WESTconsin Credit Union.
