MANKATO, MN – Going into the 7th inning, the Habaneros were leading the Steam 3-2 then a standout performance from the plate gave them the 11-2 win. After a tough loss the previous night, this win was much needed for the days ahead as the Habaneros have a 4-game slate.
Three different players brought in 2 runs and five different brought in 1 run. It was a full effort from the entire lineup today as all but two players brought something to the scoreboard.
