Eau Claire, WI\u2013<\/strong> Walk off # 3 on the season and the first home run of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eau Claire Express Postgame Recap:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Another win, another walk-off. Our 3<\/span>rd<\/span> of the season in just 4 wins. We’d like to think that must be a record or something, but no matter how you look at it, all in all, it\u2019s another big win for the Express.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter the outcome, this game came up big in a list of milestones for the season as Long Beach State\u2019s Connor Burns managed to hammer out the Express\u2019s first home run of the season. But in addition, of course,<\/span><\/p>\n

Although rocky to begin, Jack Brown held on to pitch for 6 full innings on the mound. Following right behind him was Eastern Florida State\u2019s KC Swords, who had a nice outing all together pitching 3 innings while only giving up 1 hit. To end the night, Winona State\u2019s Nick Herold pitched 1 closing inning, giving up absolutely nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against one of the hottest starting teams in the Northwoods League right now, the Express ended firing on all cylinders, all capped off by a passed ball that led Dallas Baptist\u2019s Max Blessinger home for the winning run.<\/span><\/p>\n

As this was such an exciting game, after all, we can only hope to repeat tomorrow and capture another win to end the 5-game homestand, again facing Waterloo in the finale. The Express will hit the road tomorrow, Saturday, June 12th, to face the St. Cloud Rox for a 2 game series, and then it’s off to Bismarck to take on the Larks in a 2 game series. The Express will return home on Thursday, June 17th, for 4 game homestand.<\/span><\/p>\n
