A one out double by <strong>Cullen Large <\/strong>(William &amp; Mary) moved him to 3<sup>rd<\/sup> base. McCoy scored on the next play on a sacrifice fly to right field by <strong>Grant Fennell <\/strong>(Nevada).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMankato answered in the bottom of the inning by loading the bases with their first three batters on a walk, double, ad hit-by-pitch.

He now trails <strong>Michael Katz<\/strong> who hit 18 home runs in 2013.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA wild pitch, in the bottom of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, by Loggers&rsquo; starting pitcher <strong>Dave Smith <\/strong>(Long Beach State) scored another Mankato run, but the La Crosse offensive continued to extend their lead in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> inning. <strong>Grant Fennell <\/strong>(Nevada) started the inning off with a leadoff double. He scored on a one out groundout to the first baseman by catcher <strong>Cesar Salazar <\/strong>(Arizona). <strong>Justin Wylie <\/strong>(San Diego State) topped off the inning with a solo home run, his third of the season.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWith a 7-3 lead in the 5<sup>th<\/sup>, <strong>Zach Kesterson <\/strong>(Duke) came into the game in relief. He retired the first seven batters he faced, until an error by the Loggers third baseman allowed <strong>Alex Tucker <\/strong>(Nicholls State) to advance to 1<sup>st<\/sup>. A double by <strong>David Metzgar <\/strong>(Cal. State Bakersfield) put runners on 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> with two outs. <strong>Jordan Washam <\/strong>(Louisiana Tech) brought both runners in on a double himself. After another double brought Mankato within a run, <strong>Cason Sherrod <\/strong>(Texas A&amp;M) came in to try to close the inning. <strong>Jake Shepski <\/strong>(Notre Dame) scored the tying run on a drop third strike. A bases loaded walk followed to give the MoonDogs an 8-7 lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Loggers fought back with everything they had. After a strikeout, La Crosse loaded the bases with two walks and a single. <strong>Kyle Plantier <\/strong>(UC-Santa Barbara) looked to bring in the tying run with a fly out to center field with <strong>Lars Nootbaar <\/strong>(USC) tagging from 3<sup>rd<\/sup>. He arrived safely at home, but was called out at 3<sup>rd<\/sup> base for leaving the base before the ball was caught, ending the game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Cody O&rsquo;Brien <\/strong>(Austin Peay) earned the win (2-1) for Mankato. He pitched 2.1 innings, giving up no runs on no hits. He walked one batter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Zach Kesterson <\/strong>took the loss (2-5) for La Crosse.
