(Washington)&nbsp;walk off home run Friday night is the type of the play that the La Crosse Loggers are hoping can turn their season around. &nbsp;Meggs hit a walk off two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to seal a 6-5 victory over the Willmar Stingers from Copeland Park and snap a seven game losing streak for the Lumbermen.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Loggers fell behind 5-2 as starter, Adam Cline (Columbia), had to battle through 4.1&nbsp;innings, allowing five runs (four earned), on six hits, while walking three, and striking out five.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Loggers would begin their rally in the bottom of the sixth when Nick Kanavas (Arizona) hit a sacrifice fly to center field. &nbsp;In the seventh catcher Brandon Wessels (Buena Vista) would blast his first home run of the season in the form of a solo shot to inch the Loggers within one run. &nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelievers Connor Baits (UC-Santa Barbara) and Jacob Dorris (Texas A&amp;M-Corpus Christi) would do a tremendous job of slamming the door on the Stingers after Cline would exit. &nbsp;The two combined to pitch 4.2&nbsp;innings, allowing just two hits, and striking out five.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the bottom of the ninth, Aaron Knapp (California) who earlier hit his second home run of the season, would reach on an error. &nbsp;Two batters later Meggs blasted his second homer of the season to send the 3,461 Copeland Crazies home happy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNow the Loggers are still 7.5 GB in the South Division&#039;s second half race, but assuming the first place Lakeshore Chinooks can hold their four game lead, the last playoff spot would come down to the next best&nbsp;overall record, since Lakeshore would win both halves. &nbsp;La Crosse is just four games behind Wisconsin for second best overall record in the South Division with two weeks to play.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Loggers and Stingers will conclude their two-game series Sunday evening at Copeland Park with first pitch set for 5:05.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With one swing of the bat, Jack Meggs&#039;
