Noah Malone (Loyola Marymount University) opened the game with a leadoff homer, and Max Soliz (University of Kansas) added a two-run blast later in the inning to give the Woodchucks an early 3-0 advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mallards began to chip away in the second, as MJ Sweeney (Wichita State University) hit a solo homer to cut the deficit to 3-1. One inning later, Mikey Bell (Gonzaga University) ripped an RBI double to bring Madison within a run at 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jake Berkland (Minnesota State University) extended Wausau\u2019s lead to 4-2 with an RBI single in the fourth, followed by a sacrifice fly from Christian Smith-Johnson (Texas A&amp;M Corpus Christi) to make it 5-2. The Woodchucks added two more in the fifth and coasted to a 7-2 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hunter Jones (Central Florida Community College) picked up the win on the mound for the Woodchucks.
