However, Eau Claire tied the game at one in the bottom of the inning on a solo home run by Bennett Mccollow (Concordia-St. Paul).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Korbyn Dickerson (Louisville) gave the Mallards the lead back in the top of the fifth inning with an RBI double to drive home Schaffner to make it 2-1. Once again, the Express battled back in the home half of the inning, tying the game at two on an RBI single from Mccollow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game remained even until the bottom of the eighth inning, when Jake Busson (Iowa Central Community College) blasted a solo home run to give Eau Claire a 3-2 lead. The Express added one more in the inning to go ahead 4-2, and they won by that score.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Andrew Milner (Saint Mary\u2019s) picked up the win for the Express in relief, while Aiden Fishnick (McHenry County College) was charged with the loss for the Mallards. Nick Fitzanko (William Jewell College) earned his first save of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards finish the second half at 26-10, and in first place in the Great Lakes West division.
