The freshman tossed 6.1 scoreless innings, only giving up five hits and two walks. Rudd struck out 6 on his way to becoming the Express Player of the Night. Reagan MacDonald (Dallas Baptist) entered in the 7<sup>th<\/sup> inning with the bases loaded.

The tall lefty threw 2.2 innings out of the bullpen, allowing two hits, two walks, and striking out two.<\/p>\n<p>The ballgame was scoreless until the bottom of the 5<sup>th<\/sup> inning when the Express scored three runs. Nick Brueser (Stanford) lead off with a single and advanced to third on a double by Devon Garcia (Ohio). Adam LaRock (MATC) slashed an RBI single to score Brueser and Garcia came home on a Noah Sifrit (Oklahoma State) fielder\u2019s choice. Andrew Pratt (Lubbock Christian) showed power in the 6<sup>th<\/sup> inning, crushing a ball over the left field fence to bring Eau Claire\u2019s lead to 4-0. Another run scored in the 7<sup>th<\/sup> inning when Spencer Myers doubled and later scored on a Cody Milligan (Oklahoma State) RBI single. Just to be safe, the Express added two runs in the bottom of the 8<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Andrew Pratt began with a single and Nick Brueser drove him in with an RBI double. Devon Garcia picked up an RBI with a single that scored Brueser.<\/p>\n<p>Eau Claire will travel to St. Cloud (7\/19 &amp; 7\/20) and Mankato (7\/21 &amp; 7\/22) before the Northwoods League All-Star Break.
