In the bottom of the first inning, Tyler Smith (St. Peter\u2019s) launched a three-run home run, giving the Loggers an early 3-0 lead. Case Sanderson (Nebraska) added to the advantage with a solo home run in the second inning, extending the lead to 4-0.<\/p>\n<p>Duluth managed to get on the scoreboard in the top of the third inning with an RBI single by Cardell Thibodeaux (Southern U).<\/p>\n<p>However, La Crosse responded with a dominant bottom of the third. Elijah Ickes (Hawaii) hit a two-RBI double, and RJ Hamilton (Vanderbilt) followed with an RBI triple, pushing the Loggers&#8217; lead to 7-1.<\/p>\n<p>The Loggers continued their offensive onslaught in the fourth inning, adding three more runs. Ryan Kucherak (Northwestern) drove in one with a single to left, Gable Mitchell (Iowa) contributed an RBI single, and Ickes drove in another run with a sacrifice fly, giving La Crosse a commanding 10-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p>In the fifth inning, Luke Anderson (BYU) added another run for the Loggers with an RBI single, making it 11-1.<\/p>\n<p>The Huskies showed some life in the top of the seventh inning, with Jake Downing (Cal Poly) driving in two runs with a triple down the right field line, narrowing the gap to 11-3.<\/p>\n<p>Duluth continued their push in the eighth inning, scoring three more runs on a Charlie Sutherland (Minnesota) RBI groundout, a Reagan Reeder (Illinois) RBI double, and an Elijah Fairchild (Cal State Northridge) RBI groundout, bringing the score to 11-6.<\/p>\n<p>La Crosse added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth inning when Ian Collier (Texas State) hit a solo home run, measured at 419 feet, to extend the lead to 12-6.<\/p>\n<p>With this victory, the La Crosse Loggers take the first game of the three-game series against the Duluth Huskies. The series now shifts to Duluth for Game 2, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/baseball\/game\/?id=4738\">Box Score<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LA CROSSE, WI \u2014 The La Crosse Loggers secured a decisive 12-6 victory over the Duluth Huskies at Copeland Park  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":16953,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,29,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archives","category-team-news","category-update-ticker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
